Question about R1200S at 4-5k rpm
Hey all,
Had this new-to-me R1200S for about a month now, enjoyed every mile on it so far. However, the engine response when under hard acceleration from revving from 4-5k rpm seems rather unsettling to me.
From what I read on the forum, there is a flat stop around 4.5k rpm. But it almost feels like there is traction control bogging the bike down when giving it a handful of throttle through those rpm. So you can see how severe it is. But other wise the bike pulls smoothly through the rest of the rpm range.
Not sure if this is just how the engine is or this might be a problem that should be looked into.
The bike only has 2800 miles when I bought it and it is now sitting at 3500, so it is barely broken in. FYI, it did have the fuel pump replaced back in 2010, probably because the previous owner did not store the bike properly (guessing it from the low mileage).
