Hi All,
The saga of my LT continues. I had a local shop do the engine repair work and they assured me all was fine the had the bike on a dyno and ran it up to 5th all seemed to be fine.(later discovered they were running it without a load!)
After fixing the seat and body parts I got to ride it for the first time. It missed under load. I decided to look at the plugs: Agggggggggg two Bosch and 2 ngk all the wrong heat range. So off to supply and 4 new NGK D7EA (supposed to be equal to Bosch X5DC. Also noticed some cracking on the HT lead at cylinder 2 coil connection.
Calling around only to find no leads in the country and 10 days delivery and R2,200.00 for a set from BMW. (beyond my price range at the moment)
I decided to get a similar set of car leads just to test all.
So new plugs gaped to .65mm new leads on - START
AGgggggggggggggg : Misses worse than before like I crossed a set of leads. Verified that coil number to cylinder number all ok. Still missing.

What am I missing? excuse the pun.
Rob

measure all the leads    and get a good feel for what that is all about ...
try something ...with leads connected  to the coil ..measure from plugtop ...2 and 3  and see what measurement you get
then do the same with 1 and 4

you should get something like (coils should be 10 k ) plus the leads them selves   so I would guess at 21,000 ohms from end to end ....
if not ...investigate why

don't forget that some of the car leads do not extend into the coil as much as the bmw leads

the realm engineering leads are well priced as a set

just a helpful piece of experiment you could try

Fertile can you describe what is happening in more detail I have a feeling that you may be having the same problem that me and Rabid are having and if it is then it's not electrical although it seems like it.

Indeed. I just got went through my CO potentiometer and even pre-maturely ordered a new one. Did more tests and found that the CO pot is in good shape. I cleaned my injectors awhile back (2k miles?). I'm going to take them all out and shoot some cleaner through them again tomorrow to re-check since I've learned so much since then. I'll also be looking in to some stronger spark plugs. Will also check fuel pressure, which is supposed to be around 36 psi?

Straight off, I can tell you that balancing the TB air bypass screws helped quite a bit, but did not solve completely

The bypass screws only effect the engine at low sppeds 1000 to 2000 rpm.....once the throttle butterflies are are open than that those balance screws have little no effect.

Your problem is most likely ignition related if it's a dead stuttering miss.

As for fuel injector cleaning.......If that is/were an issue, one might run a bottle of Chevron Techron through the fuel tank......with the recommended amount of fuel. It's ver very good injector cleaner.

Also, there's the possibility of faulty broken wires to injectors? I believe all 4 injectors fire at one time, not sinquentiallly.
