R1200RT 2018 - Limp mode - Throttle valve
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2023 10:43 am
Hi folks,
I am new to this forum. I wonder if anyone has had similar experience and willing to share any insights.
After a day's ride heading home, the bike (R1200RT-2018) went into limp mode with no prior history of trouble. In the limp mode max speed was 34 mph before the ECU restricted revs.. It was just enough to get home but very frustrating and confusing.
Next day my friendly local bike mechanic with his diagnostic kit managed to understand it is something to do with throttle value sensor.... He declared it is out with his skills and i should seek help from BMW.
The bike has been an absolute joy since new and only has 8000 miles.
