So, suddenly my bike decided it wants to ‘rough idle’. I took it in for trans recall service and standard oil change/service. Techs looked but couldn’t find anything amiss. No codes on scan. Still running rough. They suggested running new fuel through it and putting a couple hundred miles on to see if it clears up. So far, no dice.
I took a look at the air filter.. pretty darn clean. Don’t see any throttle cable issues.
I posted a video on YT here: https://youtu.be/2X0kIGc3e_w
Essentially at idle it is running rough. At speed no issues, but put it in first and coast.. and wham.. idle issues. Low speed or idle seems consistent - feels as if it is “missing” a cylinder - ie: brief loss in power continuity. I added some SeaFoam fuel cleaner, fueled the tank up with midgrade as usual. (Manual says midgrade and not premium as far as I remember.)
Any thoughts?
If not, I guess I take the dealer suggestion and wait until I bring it in for the 12K valve service?!![uhoh :uhoh :uhoh](https://forums.bmwmoa.org/images/smilies/uhoh.gif)
