What was the problem with the Throttle Body Assembly?
Also having start and dead throttle issues.
2018 K1600GTL 6000 miles on it.
When bike starts throttle is dead and bike has high idle at 1800rpm's.
Going to dealer for 4th time.
1st time. they did software update . Sept 10-15?
2nd time. they cleaned a connector, .and transmission recall April 8-21
3rd time. they replaced throttle body. June 3-20
4th time. ????BMW WARRANTY???? see what part they authorize to change next.
I don't blame the Motorcycle dealership, they are great people to deal with.
BMW is very exact in approval and authorization for warranty repairs. Sad part is Bike has been in and out of the shop for 2 months during riding season and BMW does not offer a loaner like the car dealer would.
I have a 2018 gtl with 8500 miles and was on my way to the dealer for new tires when this issue happened to me. Engine light came on and bike went into limp mode. I had to pull off to shoulder of the highway and turn the bike completely off and restart it a total four times for the 20 miles to the dealer. The diagnostics showed throttle assembly but I didn’t get exactly what. I will find out when I pick it up, had to leave it and have them order the part.

So the issue I experienced was not the throttle position sensor as originally indicated. Apparently the was a short in the throttle grip, which is what they replaced. Bike seem to be running fine, so time will tell.

These are very exspensive bikes to be having these problems.

Well, the initial fix didn't resolve my problem,so the bike went back to the shop, a week before a three day overnight group ride to the Twisted Sisters. This time the resolution from BMW was to clean some connections with a cleaner the dealership had to get from BMW. All seemed fine, the bike ran fine for two days, including riding the Twisted Sisters, with one exception in that reverse stopped working day two. Then on day three heading home my engine problem returns. Not a lot of fun as I was I a group of 5 other riders on narrow two lane roads with poor to no shoulder. Happened three time in just a few miles. It was a chilly morning so I had my heated grips and seat on and after the third time I turned all that off and to my surprise I didn't have another issue almost all the way home, and reverse started working again. Then less than 2 miles to the house three more episodes of engine problem. Headed back to the shop on Wednesday. I am rapidly loosing confidence in this bike, and BMWs ability to solve the issue. I certainly won't be going far from home after the next "fix" until it works for a long time.

You can get a very basic “charge/voltage” indicator (Amazon) or local parts store. They just insert into the cigarette lighter plug so you can have an easy check on the charging system. If you have a “Battery Tender” type SAE two prong connector, BT makes a rather slick one as well. I have both.
Note- these are not lab-grade measurement devices. They are a quick was to see a sudden change in the voltage of your bike or vehicle.
