I have a LT1200, 2003 with 16,000 miles. I had it worked on installing PIAA lights, new battery and rear end oil change. I noticed today that the engine at start up and during idle runs rough, going from 900 rps to 1200 rps. During reverse the idle should rep-up and does not. Can anybody assist me. My repairshop normally does a good job but does not have the el tools to tap into a BMW. Any ideas? Thanks. Daniel
Welcome to the forum. It sounds like the idle and reverse rev started after the PIAA's were installed. Correct? Certainly a place to look for grounding issues.
Take some time to search the BMWLT.com forum and if nothing turns up, ask them. There is a larger concentration on K1200LT owners there and they're always very willing to help.
HTH,

Hi Daniel, I cannot help with the LT proplem so I'll just say welcome aboard...Originally Posted by 158008
The thing about traveling is, you never want it to end and you can't wait to get home.
I answer to Roy, Chief, or Sarg.

Great bike, mine was 2001 and I rode her 98000miles and sold it to my brother who still rides it at 110000m now. Battery change? Be sure its already up to fully charged. A 100% battery is important! Use some Techron(Chevron product) in the gas tank for one tank, works great on the whole gas system. I did all my own service and found it a days job to do a complete service, fairing off. Found a rider from Louisiana last year on my tour of the NW at Mt.St.Helens on a 2001 KLT1200, just turning 200000miles on it. I smiled. Welcome. Randy
