General topics » Lurching / stuttering / surging FIXED

Hi everyone

just a quick update. Bike went into BMW yesterday with the surging issue.

They did a software total reset and update and it appears to have fixed the issue on the quick drive back home.

I will keep an eye on it on a longer ride and if any issue reoccur will let you all know. 190 quid less well off but if it is cured I will be more than happy!

Brilliant. The seller should pay for this

Great news, I’m happy for you, costly but hopefully a permanent fix and finally an engine you can enjoy!

Yep I was not expecting it to be so high to be honest. They actually quoted me 220 bit when I balked at that they reduced it.

Good news and glad it’s fixed properly. Now you can get your re-map / PCV if you still think you need one.

Well you we’re considering one before getting the bike sorted. Now it’s running as BMW intended, some performance minded folk use them to tweak the fuelling for a bit more mid range grunt to get around the compromises built in to manage noise levels and fuel consumption at specific engine speeds.

If you look at dyno printouts for standard engines there are often flat spots that are programmed in to get low consumption /low noise levels at specific points. The re-maps/ PCV claim to help overcome the unnatural restrictions.

Don’t ask me for personal experience it only what I’ve read. I find the 136.5 Hp (I have an Akro but it’s just for looks) is plenty exciting enough. I already have plenty of hp that I don’t use. I don’t need any more.

Wessie you are right (as always), I now feel a total heel! Sorry Spainy, you seemed so keen to farkle up that I didn’t want to discourage you.

Your RS is perfect just as it is. 🙂

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw shucks thanks guys haha, that made me laugh a bit.

TBH even tho I have come from a much more powerful bike , the low down grunt for all the curvy roads near me is enough at the moment. If on a track I am sure I would notice the lack of power but that´s going to be few and far between for me....especially after the lockdown and lack of income!
