R1200GS not starting in gear
The bike began to start erratically in gear. I thought it was the clutch interlock switch. Easy to diagnose. Just put bike in gear, side stand up, hold in the starter and then put bike in neutral. If it starts, it's the switch. You need to get the right one as there's a double switch for models with cruise control. The first one is beginning of travel to turn off the cruise and the second activates close to the grip. Hold your head close to hear a little click as they activate. I had to bend the tang slightly to get the activation point right. One small screw and a holding lug keeps it in place and I took the opportunity to lube the lever pivot too. I continue to be impressed at the quality of the fittings on the bike.
Sadly this little thing is NZD $111...
