Hi.

Check if there is power to the dash. If there is no power at all, check battery terminals, battery, then fuse box and ignition. You will need to check voltages in this order, use a test lamp. Ensure that battery cables are well tightened.

If the dash comes on, but the bike does not crank, it is either a problem with spark or with fuel.

If you have not done it yet, test the kickstand switch. The switch can be tested reading Volts at the two contacts with ignition on. If kickstand is up there must be volts on both ends. The part can also be tested by jumping it. Here a picture:

If the kickstand switch is not the culprit, check the fuel pump. Test fuel pressure using a gauge like this:Lisle 20300
Fuel pressure with bike revving a bit will be 40/45 psi.

Check if there is spark when you crank. If there is no spark check distribution.

Have also a look at the throttle potentiometer. See here replacement cover and pot.


Regards.

Ginko.

Replace Kill Switch 1150 GS
The kill switch on a BMW R1150GS motorcycle is designed to immediately shut off the engine in case of an emergency or accident. If you need to replace the kill switch on your R1150GS, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical hazards.
  2. Remove the handlebar grip on the side where the kill switch is located. You can do this by loosening the screws that hold it in place and gently pulling it off.
  3. Locate the kill switch module on the handlebar and disconnect the wiring harness from the switch. Depending on the year and model of your R1150GS, you may need to remove the switch from the module by using a screwdriver or Allen wrench to remove any screws or bolts that hold it in place.
  4. Install the new kill switch by reversing the steps used to remove the old one. Connect the wiring harness to the switch and secure the switch to the handlebar or switch module using screws or bolts.
  5. Test the new kill switch to make sure it works properly by reconnecting the battery and starting the engine.
It is important to note that these steps may vary depending on the specific year and model of your R1150GS. If you are unsure about how to replace the kill switch or are not comfortable doing so yourself, it is recommended that you take your motorcycle to a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for assistance.
