Howzit guys,
The little bit of background to this problem.
Mavis is a 2005 1200 gs.
Bike had a service 4 months back.
Since then Martin from "off road touring and equipment" has been helping me with some things like injector cleaning! A must if you have not done this! Bike now revs clean and idle's so smooth! But there will be another post on this must do! And by the way Mavis has 149545km as of today's ride so she is on the experienced side of life but runs like a gem!
Rear brake pads replaced by me with the guidance of Martin about 300km ago the bike seemed fine after this, road home on the newly installed pads a few short rides etc.
Then Mavis was tired and wanted to take a nap on a fellow riders drive way ( it was a bit of a tumble on the right hand side) the damage was cosmetic, drove home and could hear my servos starting and then going quiet and this continued. Got home, checked the front lever was not stuck(read this before) the front lever was getting stuck on the hand guard, sorted that out and had to take the bike to Steve at north side to have the cosmetic side fixed up.
Got bike back on Friday, took a ride today and the bloody servos keep running on their own mission, on and off and then if u tap the brakes they runn for longer than normal,
Tried cleaning points checked switches and sensors for dirt and everything is in order.
Park the bike on center stand leave on idle and the servos just start running, then do this dance on and off
If you watch the tail light it dances on and off. If you pull the fron lever and let go the break light stays on for a while after you have let go of the brake lever.(you are able to hear the servos lagging)
Turned abs off and though maybe the combination brake system was at fault, but nope the fron alone goes made.
Something seems a miss.
Suggestions on trouble shooting this? Any one els had these kinds of issues?
I did take a video on the phone that I can try figure how to upload if it will help.
Thank you kind sirs!
Regards
Tristan
