The greatest puzzle (R12S idle)

OK friends, here's the ultimate remote diagnosis for you all:

The good news:

I think that I've found some idi... er...I mean Investor to buy that R12S of mine. That is rather a miracle here in Greece. Cross fingers (never a boxer again, even a Porsche designed LC next Big Thing).

The bad news:

As everyone knows the thing doesn't idle. Period. A day zero issue, almost 3 years and counting. Numerous visits in the 2 main dealers (both friends), N tests in GT-1, coils + plugs + you named it checked (TPS included), 2 sets of new idle actuators (made in Mexico, God help us all), another new right actuator, every throttle/idle actuator sync imaginable, injectors cleaned (no need), bike resprayed (pink), RapidSomething active/inactive/you name it, adaption BMS-K table cleared, 34 bottles of vodka, 5 blonds, 7 brunettes, 567 Marlboro (red) > result: no idle.

The ugly news:


No idle means various options:

(a) start the bike > rpm is 2K, then 1K, then anything in between, bike runs in the "1.5 cylinders" mode etc etc

(b) start the bike > rpm is OK (1.2k) then ride the bike for some distance then stop to some traffic light then go to (a) and/or to (c),

(c) start the bike > rpm is 1K and dying.

Any suggestion? (other than replacing both injector bodies - complete set, a snip at 1.5K min)
