I just did spark plugs on my ‘09 F800GS. I had to dig in deep to do it. There are 2 hoses that seems to have something to do with the idle that were in bad shape on all 4 ends.Hi there,
I have also recently experienced similar issues with my 2009 G650GS, my bike has just over 13k miles. I experienced this at one point and thought it was fuel level, had my wife deliver me some fuel and it only took about 3 gal. After filling up all good, changed to high octane fuel thinking that may be better for the engine, then experienced the problem again. But this time I clocked miles at 178 miles since full and pulled into fill up and now fine again.
Could there be a problem with the fuel pump, hose not sitting low enough to get me to the reserve level and actually turn on the low fuel light? I will be monitoring the 178 ,mile mark again to perhaps avoid the issue but nerve racking nonetheless.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Perhaps with the same vintage you have something similar going on.
The hoses were called “idle actuator” hoses. I did a work-around and since ordered the set from MAX.
The bike would just shut off at idle but would instantly restart.
Good luck.
