I bought a 1200GS in May this year and covered 4000 KM since. My previous bike was a F650GS. I never had any problems with gears. At first I thought it could be my riding style, but met three other GSérs with the same complaint. I looked through the Treads on the forum but could not find any previous reporting of the same.
PROBLEM:
When changing gears, normally from 3rd up, 4th up and 5th up, the gearbox find a false Neutral gear and the rev's shoot up, because you expect the bike to powering of into the next gear and not revving. At first I felt embarrassed; because you feel like do don’t know how to handle your new bike. The next time it happened when I accelerated out of a left-hander and almost saw my A..sh.
The dealer plays ignorant and said you need to pull the gearlever properly, may be, but why did that never happen with my F650GS or the 100RS 1000RT, K1200S that I had.
Anybody that can share some expertise will be highly appreciated.
