I have an issue with the 2013 r1200 GS lc K50 engine.
The engine is blocked and can't start, since the crankshaft can not rotate.
I relised that issue is not due to the left cylinder head nor right one.
I removed engine from the bike and put out the crank disks . Engine remains blocked.
I need to remove the gear box now while engine is blocked almost in TDC(Top Death Center)
As crankshaft can not rotate in BDC( Bottom Death Center), what is appropriate to do in order to remove the gear box ?

PROBLEM SOLVED âť—.
I wanted to remove the cranck basket. Thus I turned counterclock the 46mm nut retaining this basket; as the cranckshaft was allready blocked I operated without insertion of the TDC/BDC tool in the rotor and Instead of loosing the nut as I was waiting, the 46mm socket turned the shaft and the cranckshaft !
And the engine is now deblocked/free !

I am lucky not to have inserted the TDC/BDC tool in the rotor !!!
