    I have a 2018 1200gs and I have been struggling with the clutch switch for more than a year. The service crew assured me it was ok but I found it was still intermittent in starting after they checked it. Thanks to your video i found the switch and was able to re-position it which corrected the contact issue. It now starts in gear successfully. That is a sneaky little mounting screw under there. I would have not suspected it was holding in the switch. I was not willing to adventure into the unknown by myself, so I sincerely thank you. As others have said you saved me a ton of money. Cheers.

    you bloggers, when you shoot a video, indicate that you have a BMW since 2013, because there are problems with the search, for example, I ride a 1200 2011 and have problems with the search for my model, it gives me completely different generations of motorcycles.

    which year is this GS 1200? Mine from 2005 does not have this problem, but I guess it has simpler checks - no Christmas tree when turning the ignition key on. However, I have a Triumph Bonneville 1200 that once in a while would not start, the mechanic told it's the clutch lever switch that is not adjusted properly: the engine starts only when the clutch is fully pulled.

      I think the reason why the engine will not start if the clutch is not fully in is because of safety. I’m not sure if you can replace the switch on the clutch but I know the frustration behind it. Hope you can get it sorted out. Happy riding

      Disasemble the part might be tricky but if you can hammer a small screw driver in and try and get it to twist out then that might save some hard work. There are websites for another screw out there.

    I keep reading that suspension techs want your shock set to one rider, and on soft, prior to removing your shock and shipping it. Do you think having the ESA setting at "hard" had anything to do with having to perform this manual reset? Thanks for taking the time to video and post this.

    • @happyadventurerides
      @happyadventurerides Рік тому

      Thank you for your comment. I think that if you remove the shock and replace it, it automatically assumes that it is in 1rider and soft. The reason I think is to make it easy to install or remove. Shorter and softer but don’t really know. A BMW dealership will charge about £50 - £60 for a recalibration if everything goes wrong and no longer respond. Hope you found this helpful.

    Nice video. Just 1 word of caution when bringing the bike off the center stand with the side stand down, do NOT put your foot under the side stand or foot will get crushed/broken. For safety, I always have the side stand up when bringing the bike off the center stand. Do as you see fit. I mentioned this to a friend, he said "I don't want to crush my foot".
