Has anyone experienced this. In the past 18 months this has happened 6 times. Throttle will be closed, when opened zero response. Idling speed only. Switch off bike completely, start up and all is fine. After first two occurrences BMW had the bike for two weeks, trying to repeat this. Checked what they can, replaced throttle. All seemed fine but recently this occurred again. Except that revs were a bit higher. No response from the throttle. Twice now in last week then last 500 k’s no problem??
This can be dangerous. Its happened in road and enduro mode. I would love to find out what the problem is.
