BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Can someone do a sanity check for me as I'm sure my R12RT LC used to start in first with the clutch pulled in, it's now only starting if I put it into neutral.

I have several bikes, plus I work with bikes so I'm not sure if I'm misremembering :D

You need a new clutch switch!

I have just replaced mine for the same issue

thanks Stu, you've confirmed my suspicion

Depends on if you have cruise control or not

And it's just one screw to swap it

I will post more when I'm not in bed

I have the cruise control. I’ve been putting it off changing it for a while

This is the one you need then

BMW dealer was going to charge me £55 which is a good price but for ease I just got one delivered with my service kit

There is a small T8 screw that comes out then the switch will come off and fitting is reverse of removal (I sound like Haynes)

There is a locating peg for it to go in to too so just make sure it's in that
