Gave the K75 to a non-BMW garage for a service and it has come back a bit "iffy"!
Bike does start, but needs encouragement. Tick over seems OK, but throttle needs nursing until she's got temperature.
Poor acceleration. Black, sooty plugs on all cylinders. Altering TPS on or off makes no difference. There is a clunking from the fuel tank if I rock the bike back and forth with a full tank. I checked the filter was the right way around and re-installed it, but it seemed to have been done right first time.
Its using more fuel than usual, so running rich. All fuel lines are OK: not kinked or squashed.
Tick over is about 1000rpm when warmed up.
Recently re-built water/oil pump which seems to be OK.
Backfires occasionally in 2nd whilst slowing down.
I'm wondering how to approach this one.....
wisdom gratefully received!!
