bmwbrian Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Did a total cleanup on the bike today. Neutral safety switch hasn't work in months. Wash bike and now it seems to work every time. Any ideas? Link to comment
TonyS Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I found on my 2000 R1100R that if I parked it in neutral the switch would work. When left in gear the neutral switch seemed to stick in the non-neutral position. Perhaps you had it parked in neutral while washing the bike, or maybe have accumulated enough good karma to fix the problem. Link to comment
David_Charlton Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 That's why I always clean my bike after a ride,these machines respond to kindness, look after them, they'll look after you, they are after all, an extension of one's personality,I must put these drugs away!!! Link to comment
Ken H. Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Well water is a lubricant. Of sorts. Clearly you got some into the switch and for now, it's moving again. Link to comment
Stan Walker Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Clearly you got some into the switch and for now, it's moving again This is a sealed microswitch inside a fully enclosed plastic housing tucked away behind the transmission..... water ingress doesn't seem likely. Stan Link to comment
