Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a bit as I bought an R1200S a couple weeks ago and found this the place for info. I am absolutely in love with the bike and it's everything I ever wanted. The only other sport bike I've ever had was an SV1000 and the 1200S is so much more refined. Otherwise I commute on my RT daily and love it dearly as well.
My new 1200S came to me very pre-loved with 24k on the odometer and lots of upgrades. It has the full Remus Ti exhaust, Ohlins upgrades and 6" wheel, HID lights, Corbin seats and a booster plug already installed.
The only problem I've had has been a few stalls when the clutch is pulled in. Twice while coming to a stop and once while splitting traffic and had to clutch in as a car was changing lanes in front of me. Both times I had to shift the bike into neutral to restart and it was back to normal. When I pull in the clutch, the RPMs occasionally appear to drop to around 900 or 800 before coming up to 1100 or so at idle. This moment where it dips seems to be where the engine dies, though I have a hard time telling when it has stalled because it's so quiet at idle anyways. Is it safe to bump start it while rolling?
The bike will never start while in gear even with the clutch pulled in. Is this normal? My RT will start in gear if I pull the clutch in and the kickstand is up. Maybe the clutch sensor is bad.
Anyways, I've done a lot of searching and found a few answers such as bad coils and a possible software recall to change the idling rpms at certain points. I plan on visiting my dealer soon (SJBMW) to get some advice on it. It's a very intermittent problem though.
I'm glad I found you guys as this seems to be the premier place for R1100/1200S folks.
