Thank for sharing this video. When I bought my R1200RT LC 2 years ago I noticed that I have to put the bike in neutral before it would start. I was under the impression that this is how it should be on this model. Coincidentally I came across your video. Tried it right away and it worked! Thank you.
OK. I fixed It. Thanks much was easy to follow. One tip though, when it is fixed try to start the engine in gear, with no clutch. If it is possible to start the engine, it means you bended the metal too much, and you actually blocked the feature.
Na minha RT às vezes funciona, outras não; tenho que experimentar esta solução. Além desse, tenho outro problema de vez em quando: o neutro não aparece no indicador e ela não pega se o indicador estiver em branco. Motas velhas… 😊 (Pena teres filmado à sombra a parte importante, mas acho que deu para perceber).
Olá Pedro, ótimo tópico... Parabéns. Apenas uma questão antes de me atrever a fazer isso. A chapa deverá ficar mais fechada ou mais aberta? Por outras palavras... mais perto da cabeçinha do switch ou mais afastada? Obrigado e boa continuação
How long does this trick work for you all? I think I got two to three days and then I had to repeat the process. In the end replacement was the solution, but it irks me to pay this much for a couple of microswitches.
Tried it, not working unfortunately :( The bike is not starting in gear, the drive modes change, cruise control works. R1200GSA 2016 model, made at the end of 2015.
Do a continuity test with a multimeter, you might have a faulty switch. If so, I'm affraid you need a new switch from bmw. That switch unit is not possible to open and repair.
@@amiralisadraeenouri9630 yes, it looks like side-stand switch problem. Try wd40 contact cleaner if still not working by-pass it. Side stand location is very keen to get dirty by wheel spray.
Excellent video much appreciated as it prevented an expensive trip to the BMW dealer to rectify 👍
The model affected was a R1200 GS 2014
I did this to my 1250 GSA today. It worked great. Thank you so much for the video. I appreciate it. Ride safe.
Great, I will add gsa1250 to the list of bikes with this tricky switch. 👍

I tried again and it works now. Thanks for the tip! The new sensor would costs me 65€.
