Hi all,...
have been on my first tour on my new k12r, put about 3000 miles on it so far, however, this morning as I was heading off on the first half of my 800 mile return trip home, i ran into some starting issues. First of all, the bike started up right away no problem early this morning, as went down to the gas station to fill up. I came back out and attempted to start the bike, it cranked for about a sec, then nothing. All electrics came up no problem. No errors showing. The ignition switch just wouldnt start the bike. After about 5 minutes of scratching my head, i tried again, i hit the switch, nothing at first, continued to hold it down, and finally it cranked over and started. I went on my merry way. Made a couple stops, no problems starting the bike again. Well about 200 miles into the trip it happened again. This time, I couldnt get the ignition button to work at all. Again, no problem with electrics, that I noticed. I ended up having to roll start the bike. SO, I was thinking perhaps a bad ignition switch. However, a little while later I noticed that the neutral indicator light was not working...and also, when I engaged the clutch, the digital gear indicator (the one showing the number of gear you are in) disappeared, then would reappear when you disengaged the clutch and got the bike under power again. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
CHEERS!!!
