Hotrodding the GS

???

As in total nuclonic reversal

Yeah, that bad…

Like the complete dissolution of all matter, bad

I am having a little problem with my 04 1150 GS Adventure. I put the Iice Air on my bike and now I have a little hick up right off idle, it pops back through the TB's just off idle when accelerating easy. The bike has a Remus Y-Pipe with the stock BMW can, a Uni Filter, and a Cat Code Plug. The Iice Air is set at -20. Is there a better setting to try and eleminate the hick up?

Thanks, Dave

Try the -10º setting next.

But there are other issues with your bike. When was the last time it was tuned up?


JJ

This is another odd symptom. I mean odd in that the symptom you describe is a classic lean condition.

Dave,

From what I read the Cat Code Plug requires getting into the the TBs [this could be inaccurate..] but regardless, could the CCP be at odds with the IICE Air or is there an intake leak past TBs? [lean]

Only a WAG...

The cat code plug is under the seat, not in the TB's.

It started right after I put the IICE AIR on the bike. I'm going to try the -10 setting and see what happens.

TB sync and valves done 15000 miles ago. Bike has 70,000 miles on it. Replaced right side TB at 51000 miles.

Has there been a recent TB balance check?

As in is there an air leak somewhere in the intake plumbing?

How does the bike run other than the hiccup?

Like Poolside said it is reminiscent of a lean condition or perhaps a weak ignition.

Have you looked at the spark plugs?

Lone Star BMW of Austin Texas replaced both stick coils and plugs at 52866 miles. I hope they are not going bad again. SPENDY little turds ! ! ! :eek1 All problems reared their ugly head when I put the IICE AIR on. Going to try the -10 when I get home tonight, see if that changes anything. Problem is only at low RPM when riding single tracks at low speed, 1500 to 2100 RPM. Once on the road the bike screams in the upper RPM range. Top speed has moved from 116 mph to 127 mph. When the stick coil failed, it wouldn't get over 65 mph.

Hacky-Moto has an idea for stick coils here.

Uhh... I can attest to the fact that BigDave's bike is running like a scalded ass ape. It is certainly runnin' well....but for this off-idle issue he mentioned.


Now, I don't know if he mentioned this but he changed the y-pipe and the iice air at the same time.

Ah those pesky details…

If it were me I'd be looking at the pipe fittings to see if there is any leakage.

I had leakage when I did that and I even used hi-temp silicon rtv type sealant made for just this purpose. It still leaked until enough carbon and smooge built up to seal the leaks.

It didn't cause a hiccup but it did cause a backfire as it sucked air in which gave the exhaust gasses a reason to 'voice' themselves.

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" width="650"><tr><td>I'm glad your bike is running so well at speed, but I want to be sure I understand this. Are you saying that the IICE Air, and apparently the Y-pipe, together increased the top speed by 11mph?

<BR>

For the sake of clarity, and because bigdave-gs is reporting a popping backward through the throttle bodies, you mean a 'backfire' through the tailpipe. Is that right, JJ?

<BR>

Use all 4 settings. Be sure to use the -0° setting. That setting uses the original Intake Air Temp sensor signal.

OH BOY!!!!!!


wait for it





















































YES!
