I agree totally with all of the above re my 14 LC
Not all GS LCs are the same though. A friend has had a 13 LC from new and his gearbox has always been great
Go and ride a 'Blade, A gsxr 1000, an R1 even an F800...
I'm back to the dealer!!!
My 2017 GSA with shift assist is poor
I reported at running in service how difficult and unpredictable the changes are .... Will it won't it let it change gear .... And find myself grabbing the clutch when it won't change
Workshop said it will get better with more miles !!!
I've now done 1500 miles and really not much better... Especially at lower speeds or gears ...
Ok I didn't test ride ... But I've had a few GSAs over last few years ... And presumed this would be an improvement !!! It isn't ... And I wouldnt opt for the shift assist again
You implying that an F800 is somehow inferior to the other 3?
It sounds like your gear shift assist needs resetting. You can do it yourself, just ask your dealer how. IIRC, it involves running it at high revs in each gear (which can be done on the center stand if you're feeling brave).

RTz;4592692. said:Also, if you are attempting to gear switch at "full throttle" you are mad. Even with no Shift Assist, what do you think would happen if you pulled and abruptly released the clutch at full revs without at least easing down on the gas?.

BMW should just dump shift assist and develop a true dual clutch like Honda uses for those that don't like using a clutch.

A side note to the price. I went to the dealer to get the lowest spec bike I could that had cruise. I wanted one it would be 8 months, and then maybe...
It took 3 weeks for mine to arrive, standard with cruise and heated grips. I can't believe you have such long delivery dates in the US, unless your dealer is full of shit
