Hi,
Currently riding a 2005 Rt1200 which I bought of the forum. Its been a great bike for what I need it for, couple of issues and money spent out due to the age.
I now have a new problem with the gears. My commute is 230 miles every two weeks on motorways and A roads.
Once I've ridden the bike for approx 20 mins it will not move down the gears. Ill get in 4,5 or 6 once left for short time it will not down shift. I've double clutched, tried all sorts of ways and it wont do anything, then it will decide to allow the gear to move but no set time for this.
Ive replaced the two washers on the gear lever as they were corroded ,BMW seems to think could be an expensive fix.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Im not flush with cash and sending to BM for a full gear/clutch overhaul is more than then bikes worth.
Thanks in advance.
