Make sure all the basic stuff has been checked such as...

-fuel in tank at sufficient level?
-engine stop switch on RHS handlebar?
-transmission in neutral?
-side stand up if trans. not in neutral?
-check for damage to wiring under seat at fuel pump controller?

If all else fails take to dealer or call for roadside assistance to pick up bike and take it to BMW dealer for warranty repair. Use the warranty instead of trying to DIY it!

could have fuel delivery problem, ignition problem.... who knows without some diagnostic tools.

its the starter motor cluch and its pricy sorry

unscrew the holding screw and remove slide out lever slide new lever into position and replace holding screw

Unfortunately I do not have the answer yet, but I will!!! I too am having the same problem with my 2006 F650GS I can easily, smoothly go up and down through all the gears but there simply isn't a first gear! It has been mysteriously replaced with neutral. I am totally down with time off here and there for virtually everything and everyone with the exception of first gear and maybe the sun!!! Also the neutral light will not go off no matter what gear I'm in... it's like it's trying to fill in for first gear or something. I've been told it might be a shifting fork but as you can see in the diagram below from https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=51602&diagram=11_2977 that 1st gear and 3rd gear share a shifting fork (part #10). Since I can easily use 3rd gear I should be able to use 1st. So unless I can get some useful information/advice on where to go I will take the engine out of the bike and tear it down and figure it out. What ever I find I will share with y'all!

Inspect all braking components for leaks or damage to begin with...Make sure brake lever isn't sticking ..,This could be a stuck faulty relay switch or system needs to be reset by disconnecting battery.....If no luck replace it...British Motor Works also have had faults in wiring....To be safe I would take to a Technician...They will check everything before replacing pump motor...

Make sure you do not have an air lock in the head. There is a small bleed screw on the RHS of the head to bleed the air out.

Remove the centre "tank" panel to access the battery. Then just jump start as you would any other vehicle.

That can only be done by your BMW agent or the GS911 diagnostic tool.

No, it is not supposed to be filled with petrol. There is a crack in the housing, A common problem. Take the housing out, flip it over, roughen up the area around the crack and seal it with Q-Bond.
