Heya,
My 2011 R1200RT has a bucking, misfiring, poor idle problem when it gets properly warm after about 15 minutes of riding and I suspect it's the coils from what I've read. Because it only has the issue when it's hot, unplugging the coils and checking that way would be painful to my hands, and I would also have to remove all the plastic to access the coils (I think). This bike is new to me, under a month of ownership, and has about 50K on the clock. I don't have any service records from the previous owner, but I bought it from a BMW dealer and they gave it a clean bill of health when I bought it.
Is there a way to test the coils with my multimeter while they're cold? I've searched and searched, but haven't come up with a decisive yes or no on the question. I looked in the tech library and didn't see anything that would be helpful either.
Thanks a bunch!
