“Bmw k1200gt (motorcycle) - surging idle - potential hazard - bike will be running fine and then, for no apparent reason, begin idling around 3000 RPM. Failure occurrence is very inconsistent. Air box has been replaced but did not resolve issue. After some research, this seems to be a very common failure. 1000 miles on a new bike and four trips to the dealer without the problem being resolved.”
