For a while now, every now and then my 1100RT would stall out. I was able to restart the bike so I was shucking it off to bad gas or some other anomoly. Two weeks ago the bike died......wouldn't restart .....so I did a number of roadside checks with the electrics......checked fuses, relays, and listened for a running fuel pump when the key was turned to the ON position. After approx. an hour on the roadside, an attempt to restart the bike was succesful.....so I rode it home. For the next week and a half.....and many rides later there were no issues with the bike. Well as fate would have it, the bike finally quit when my bride and I were on a roadtrip. At this time I knew what it was......or at least suspected what the problem was. So now it was a tow home.....this bike wouldn't restart. The only saving grace for me was the fact that a brand new HES from BeemerBoneyard was onroute to me.....the HES to my knowledge was never changed out by the previous owner so having one ready to go was the idea. Seems the original wanted to go before I could swap it out.
I installed the new HES and now the bike actually feels more responsive to the throttle. Not sure if its my imagination.
Preparing for the long ride home
Teardown to retrieve the HES
Broken down insulation
