applied deoxit to every connector i could find. It needed a new thermo fan , so new fan and temp sensor went in , changed air filter , cleaned the air box etc.
Only to be rewarded with, after having tried make a good bike better, it now refuses to run right. Started and idled for a few seconds then , no.
it seems to be grumpy down low but will run with a bit of accelerator , a bit of a slap in the face when it was running right before i started.
Any thoughts on obvious traps a noobie can fall into ?
i went over the whole thing a second time, cleaned everything again, double checked the connections and re fitted all the breather components to ensure airtight integrity, also orderded the engine breather hose as it is original .
i noticed some grime in the plenum chamber, if this gets disturbed can it go straight into the injector or is there a filter of some sort before them?
now also , the headlight stays on (?) is this some secret bmw k100 code ?
anyway , i don't expect you to solve my problems, just thought it would be a good kick off for a discourse, or in the least you could get a giggle out of my frustration.
kind regards and bikes for sale
