Hello All

My 1200 GS has started cutting out in heavy traffic when decelerating and when the engine is hot. It has cut out at between 85 km/h down to 20 km/h. This can be very harrowing on the M1 in the morning or afternoon.

When the bike has cut out it will also only start in Neutral.

It has been to the dealer twice to fix, but it is still cutting out occasionally. It did start in 1st gear when cold after the second repair but not when the engine was hot. And since yesterday it again will only start in Neutral whether the engine is hot or cold.

Going back next week for a third attempt to sort this out. Bike is also going for its 90k service.

Has anybody had this issue before and how was it resolved?

This issue so far has cost a fair bit and though it seems to be less frequent it is not solved.

Sage advice please!
