Mike05 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 '05 R1200RT gear indicator (on the dash) is not functioning. I went for a early morning ride today. Upon returning, I decided to wash the bike. When I took it out for a spin afterward, the dash only displayed half the gears (4th thru 6th); by the time I returned home, no numbers were showing at all. The bike runs fine except for no longer displaying what gear the bike is in. All other "dashboard" components/indicators seem to be functioning. Checked the Repair Manual CD; it refers to a "POTENTIOMETER" as the only electricial transmission part. Made sure it is plugged in; now I am completely stumped. Any thoughts/ideas?

Ken H. Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's the aux. lights you added Mike. Just kidding! The potentiometer is indeed the likely culprit, but it could be a simple as unplugged somewhere. If you want to mess with it, trace the wiring from it potentiometer at the rear of the tranny. OTOH, '05 = in warranty = let the dealer fix it. Link to comment
