Hi All,

I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this post correctly.

I have a 2012 R1200R with 7,000 miles. While in 2nd gear the engine stutters, pauses, kicks, not sure what to call it. It happens quickly and then continues as normal. It seems to happen when I am accelerating. This couldn't possibly be a transmission failure could it? Surely not with only 7,000 miles. Has anyone else had this issue, or know of a fix? I ran my GS-911 on the diagnostics and everything came out clear. Sorry I don't have much else to go on for those looking to help.

Thanks in advance!

You ain't riding enough. Run gas near out. Get fresh fuel.. run 2 tanks of Techtron injector cleaner (black bottle) .... change plugs.. that thing will run like a scalded ape! With only 7 k miles that thing has set around and gas gets old and messes stuff up...

RPM Specific?

Is it 2nd gear only or does it happen at the same RPM irregardless of gear selection? If it RPM specific it could be your Throttle Position Sensor. I had one fail on a 2011R and it would stutter, buck, barely run, etc between 3800 - 4200 RPM no matter the gear.
