Hi fellow riders,
After riding over 2000 Km to get to the Australian capital Canberra (the long way), with the 2017 Wall to Wall Remembrance Ride without incident; my 2012 R1200RT P decided it had enough.
It started as normal, ran for about 5 seconds in neutral gear then the motor just stopped.
Tried to restart, in neutral, side stand up- Motor turns over but refuses to fire up. -Half tank of fuel- plenty of voltage in the battery – No blown fuses – Also tried with spare key.
Then tried to restart whilst moving the side stand up and down in case the cut out switch may have been faulty and possibly sending a wrong message to the computer. Still would not start.
I notice that when I turn on the ignition the warning triangle on the instrument panel first appears red and after a few second turns to yellow. No other symbols appear to indicate what it is warning of.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and can advise the probable cause and how to correct the fault.
Regards to you all.
Warren
