95 1100 ?

[brokenbarrel1]

I just bought a 95 1100 gs with 32,000 miles. The bike has a rough idle to the point of sitting at a light the handlebars will rock side to side a little or if im moving real slow it will feel like I have a bent rim. Seems fine once i accelerate and driving at speed. Throttle body sync maybe cables looked to be seated at the throttle body. Any ideas?

Mine did that too but not nearly as badly.

I would read the articles you can search for here on valve adjust and TB sync and then do those services.

One of my BBS had lots of gunk on it and was screwed out almost to the point of falling out.

The change after the tune-up was almost like making the bike a twin instead of a single! (at low RPM)

You didn't mention any surging around 4000RPM. Mine did that a bit too and it disappeared as well.


Time to read and wrench!
