Okay guys,
I have an r1200rt that was built in May of 2006. I have a little over 38k miles on the bike. Intermittently the gear indicator on the instrument panel will rapidly switch between gears while ridding down the road. Nothing like cruising on the highway and watching your gear selector drop to 1st gear! Up to this point it has not effected the driveability going down the road however I have experienced a no crank no start a couple of times when I could get the gear indictor to read neutral even with the trans physical in neutral. I cannot remember all the details but I do believe it would not crank even with the side stand up and clutch in. I know that does not make sense because the bike should crank and start in any gear with the clutch in and side stand up. Memory could be wrong was about 800 miles from home both times it happened. The gear selector switch in plugged and secure. I have not checked terminal tension at the switch or ECM.
Has anyone else experienced this concern?
Thanks,
Mark
