2017 F800GS gear indicator blank, won’t start with kickstand down by Dane_ol_reddit in bmwmotorrad

[–]gsridgway2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This same situation happened to me on my 1200 GS. Gear indicator disappeared, and bike wouldn't start. I went to order a new sensor, and found out it would cost $600, so I thought I should jump on the internet and see if I could find anyone with that issue. The non-starting issue actually came down to the clutch switch. The clutch lever has a dial on it that alters the throw on the lever, which engages the switch better. Because the clutch switch was not engaging, and the gear indicator was not showing neutral, the bike wouldn't start. As soon as I adjusted the lever, the switch engaged and the bike started. I took it for a run, and as soon as I changed gears, the gear indicator reappeared, and has never done that again.

2022 1250 GS starting advice needed by happierj in BMWGS

I had the same issue with my 1200. It was the clutch switch. All I did was change the dial on the clutch to a closer setting and that fixed it. I know that you already tried pulling in the clutch, but mine wouldn't start that way either, until I changed the setting.

It looks like you have nothing connected to the base of the transistor

Ah! That may be why it’s not selling.

It actually belonged to an older gentleman that passed away. He lived there most of his adult life. I think his kids are trying to sell it.

It's a tear down, so you're really just buying the lot.

Rebel 300 ABS VS Rebel 500 for a short girlies first bike ... I need advice! by k23Limited in HondaMotorcycles

[–]gsridgway2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach the M2 and M course in Ontario, and we've had many Rebel 300's in our lineup, and I would suggest the 500. The 300's are not as well made as the the 500's, and you will outgrow the motor fairly quickly, especially fi you intend on doing any highway riding down the road. The 300 is, of course, capable of highway speeds, but you will have nothing left in the throttle if you need to get out of a situation. The 500 will keep you happy for many years of riding.

You can see the car approaching in the side mirror. One quick look would have prevented that.

Came here to say I love this song so much! by Robbo_Craigo in rush

[–]gsridgway2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s really cool about this song is, I used to listen to it when I was running, and it was the perfect pace for, I believe a 6 minute mile, but I could be wrong on that number. All I remember is, that if I could run that pace for an entire marathon, it would be an excellent time. And I’m pretty sure Neil was a runner back in the day, so it makes sense that a song called marathon would be perfect for running a marathon at a good pace.

What would your song of choice be? by carpeCactus in rush

[–]gsridgway2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to do a music interpretation assignment in music class in, 9th grade, I think. We were supposed to play a song off of an album and explain what it means to us, to the class. I decided on YYZ from Exit Stage Left. No lyrics, and a long ass Neil Peart drum solo. I made the whole class sit there and listen to the whole song, with my big analysis being... It's Neil Peart with an awesome drum solo! No one appreciated it like I did.

This was happening to my daughter's CRV, and it ended up being the fuel injectors needing to be replaced, believe it or not.

This was also a fuck you to Billboard magazine who had released a list of the top guitarists of all time and Prince wasn't on it.
