Re: R12S idling on 1 to 1.5 clinders

It "seems" to be a bit better. I don't know why. It's not that it's idling on 1 to 1.5 cylinders. It's more like a rough idle/cammy kind of thing. I tried disconnecting the O2 sensors and riding it. No change in the idle, and the bike didn't run as crisp. When I reconnected the O2's, I disconnected the battery for a few hours. The rough idle is still there, but it's better. It does not do it all the time, and it's just the idle that's affected. The bike runs strong when it's under any kind of load. Next time I'm at the dealer, I'll have them do a diagnostic and see if a fault comes up.

I'll keep you posted.

BTW, do you have a full exhaust system on your bike? I'm wondering if the full Remus on my bike might be related to this, i.e., different flow/backpressure dynamics.

Anyone else want to chime in here?
