Took my '07 1200 GS in for his 70000 km service and upon collection (open road) it started sputtering if one opens up the throttle, to say pass another vehicle.  Also against any incline she battles. 
Spoke to the owner, and arranged to take it back in next week, but according to him, she was fine upon testing.  Now, I do believe the owner, who is one of those guys that goes out of his way to assist, but the bike was washed AFTER he took her for testing. 
Can it be that water came in somewhere, or what in your guys' opinion is the problem?
I'm going on a Namibian trip end of the month, so want the bike tip-top.
