In your video after collecting your bike, you mentioned the BMW dealer said it was due to a faulty sensor. Was this at the throttle handle grip ? , or some other sensor location ? . What I am getting at here is, I want to try cleaning the throttle sensor at the handgrip.
@MotoBrit13 күн бұрын
Yes, a sensor at the grip. Literally in a box unit underneath by your thumb.
@gregoryhaughney13 күн бұрын
Thanks, I will clean the TPS unit this evening and post an update on results. A neighbour has a diagnostic 'OBDI' for BMW bikes so on Thursday evening I will use that to check the exact error code and details.

I had the same problem exactly ! Can you advise what to do ? My is not in warranty because I bought the 2018 BMW F750GS model from a friend in January this year. It had been in storage for 6 years in his garage since he bought it (a skiiing injury prevented him using motorcycles). It only had 180km when I got it. Now it has 2,100km. THE PROBLEM: Exactly as you described. on a trip last weekend I noticed I could not change the Drive Mode from RAIN. In the car park, I left the LED spot lights on while parked up for 2 hours. Bike would not start. I used jump leads to start it from a van battery. It then showed an Error on screen: ‘Fault in the engine control. Onward journey possible. Ride carefully to next specialist workshop.’ Bike drove like a Honda 50 carrying an elephant ! Took me 90 mins to get home, throttle would not increase revs past 1,800. Max speed 30kh (downhill max 49). A cyclist overtook me! 🚴 Did the jump cause a fault ? It has the original ECU software from 2018 (this could be issue). Can I buy an engine computer adaptor and upgrade the ECU operating system software myself. BMW dealer wants 360€ to do it, including general service. All advice or tips welcome.
@MotoBrit13 күн бұрын
It could just be a software issue. Definitely get a dealer to do a full diagnostic test and to update all the firmware on the bike. That, and a general service should get you back on track. Thanks for the feedback. Good luck.

Why do you have two maps going? I'm getting an 800GS with the mount but not sure if I should bother with the GPS unit. Is navigation pretty bad on it or something?
@MotoBritАй бұрын
I bought the Garmin, fitted it, but preferred using my phone. The main reason was syncing music, navigation and conversation through my Cardo helmet comms. It just works better via my phone, as music will fade out when the nav gives directions, and also when speaking. But I never took the Garmin off, still haven't , just incase I ever need it.

Hello moto Brit, could you give a realistic fuel range on that 750gs. Thanks!

Yes sure. I'd say on average about 300km. Whatever that is in miles. About 180 miles. This could vary, and does, depending on the speed. But that's a safe average in my experience.

Hi. I want to ask all 750gs owners here if you have a problem engaging 2nd gear from 1st to 2nd with the use of the clutch and with the quick shifter. On mine all gears engage really smooth with no effort but 1st to 2nd is just a nightmare and brings the joy of riding down.
@MotoBrit4 ай бұрын
I had a similar issue going from 1st to neutral and 2nd to neutral at traffic lights. I mentioned it in my service and they smoothed it out on the diagnostics computer. I assumed it was something electronic rather than mechanical, so maybe yours is the same. Worth checking and asking each time you have a service so they can reset whatever it is they tweak.

Yes, more or less. It's no secret that BMW made the same bike for two different purposes, the 750 for on-road, and the 850 for off-road. Exact same engine, just some small mods with suspension and a few features. That's what happens when you let the marketing team walk through the factory!

I'm a bit late for the sound check, but sorry, i don't like the Remus sound. Good weight loss though. I have never heard an after market muffler on a BMW sound better than the original. Including an Akrapovic. I put a Remus on an F800 GT a long time ago and while OK, was not great. Currently riding a 1200 GSA with an Akrapovic, without baffles and it's OK but not as good as the OEM muffler. Might be giving it a bit more oomph though.

Thank you for your video, now I can tell the local dealership of this findings since clearly they dont really want or know how to take care of it.
