In the previous post I stated that I washed my 2003 R1150R and the bike quit within a half block. I was advised that my problem was the Hall sensor. I purchased a new sensor from Beemer Boneyard and installed. The bike started up but ran rough. I then thought about recalibration of the throttle bodies. I started by removing the idle screws and cleaning them and using a Q-tip to clean out the hollow, which in fact was needed. I proceeded with balancing the throttle bodies. The bike started and was idling fine. I took it for a 100 mile ride. Upon returning to town, the bike idled rough at the first stop light. Frustration set in and I parked the bike for the night. When I went into the garage to start the bike this afternoon, it would not start at all. It did fire just a little but would not pass go and collect $200. One other note, the idle is a little lower than before the sensor went bad. Question, do I not have the Hall sensor advanced enough?. Can someone point in any direction? I have a ride coming up the second weekend in June and need to have this taken care of well before then for my own peace of mind.
