This morning the gear indicator display went blank on my 2013 r1200gs LC. It was during rain and heavy traffic when I was using the clutch a lot and the engine was hot. It came back on after a few minutes when I picked up the speed a bit and was in 3rd gear. Is this something that I should worry and bring it to the dealer to have a thorough check? Thanks in advance for your comments!!
 
More than likely some water got into a wiring connector and shorted the signal, you can disconnect the connector clean it and apply some dielectric grease to prevent it from reoccurring, the most likely connector is the gear shift potentiometer near the battery box right side.
