The digital gear indicator not working for gears 1,2,3,4
only working for neutral
please tell me what is the problem.
also when riding the motobike my left hand risk starts to hurt when i turn into side streets etc
the pain comes afta i get of the bike , does my tires need air or does the handle bars need oiling please help

P=park gear position (no gear selected) R=reverse gear position N=neutral gear position (no gear selected) D=top gear 2=fixed highest gear (used for speed when climbing an average incline and to control speed on decent) 1=fixed lowest gear (used for climbing steep incline or descending slowly) Note-: Never engage Reverse gear when traveling forwards and never put into Park when moving forward or backwards, also towing most autos should be done no more than 10mph, fast towing can damage the gearbox, also make sure gear is in Neutral when towing.
If the gear indicator changed to neutral without you doing anything, I would say the transmission selector switch has failed. The switch tells the computer what position the shifter is in.
Try starting with gear indicator in neutral if it starts replace your neutral start switch if this was helpful please leave me good feed back if it still wont crank I would suspect (1) low battery (2) bad or dirty battery conections (3) bad starter solonid or (4) Bad ignition switch.
The gear shift lever indicators tell you what gear you have an automatictransmission
in on your vehicle. The shift solenoid tells the transmission when to
shift gears and what gear to shift into. Newer model automatic
transmissions have electronic shift solenoids that are activated and
change gears based on the speed the vehicle is traveling.
Troubleshooting either one of these transmission components is
relatively easy if you know a little about automobile mechanics. With
the right tools, you can determine whether the transmission shift
solenoid is having a problem. Gear shift indicator problems can be
determined simply by moving the gears into their designated position. Transmission Shift Solenoid
1
Raise each corner of the vehicle
up with the car jack and place jack stands under the frame. Make sure
the car is raised high enough so you can work under the car freely.
2
Slide the drain pan under the
transmission fluid drain plug. Remove the drain plug with a ratchet and
socket, and let all the fluid drain out of the transmission. Remove the
transmission pan bolts with a ratchet and socket. Pull the pan away from
the bottom of the transmission, revealing the transmission shift
solenoid.
3
Wipe off the shift solenoid with
a shop towel. Disconnect one of the two plugs that attaches to the
shift solenoid. Turn the knob on the volt meter to the ohms setting, so
resistance can be measured. Set the volt meter on 200.
4
Take the black lead of the volt
meter and touch the negative battery terminal wire. Take the red lead of
volt meter and slide the tip into the terminal plug you just
disconnected from the shift solenoid. Look at the reading you get on the
digital display of your volt meter. Determine if the reading is between
12 and 25. Readings below 12 or above 25 tell you that the shift
solenoid is not working. Reattach the plug to the shift solenoid and
pull the second plug attached to the solenoid. Perform the same
procedures on this plug wire. Replace the transmission shift solenoid
after determining it is bad.
Gear Shift Indicator
1
Move the gear shift into the
desired gear. Look at the gear labels and the arrow, or other indicator,
to see if the gear shift indicator lines up with the selected gear.
2
Move the gear lever to another
gear and look to see if the indicator lines up with the selected gear.
Misalignment of the arrow will tell you if there is a problem. Moving
the gear shift to "neutral" but having the indicator show the transmission is in "drive" tells you the gear shift indicator is not working properly.
3
Try each gear position to
determine how much misalignment is in the indicator. Slide under the car
and check for a loose gear shift cable. Check all the gear shift cable
connections to ensure they are all tight and are not missing. Tighten
any loose gear shift cable clamps or bolts. Replace the gear shift cable
if you find that this is causing the misalignment with the gear shift
indicator.
Okay....I'm a longtime Yamaha Venture owner that has gear indication to...so FWIW...it sounds like your gear indication switch coircuit is bad. If BMW is designed like other makes, the neutral and gear indication works by grounding the wires at the switch (crankcase end). You'd first want to locate the connector for the switch, make sure its secure....no evidience of wiring damage.
If it does ground at the switch any unhooked harness would give no neutral or gear position.
You could unhook the connector....test the top side into the main harness with key on see that the is voltage on the wires....should have N+5 gears for 6 wires.....if you have no power from the harness....the problem would be further up. If power is present....test the engine side of the harness for ground continuity...should be grounded on one wire...N, 1, 2,,3 etc....no ground...possibly bad switch or the contact point that rotates across the terminals as you shift. The contact point wears over the years till contact is lost.
You should be able to start the bike if the kickstand is up and the clutch is in, thats how in gear restarts are normally interlocked.
shift linkage needs adjusting,,could be bent, easy fix, located along firewall to fram beneath the column, ask your son wut he ran over and didnt tell u about... hope i could help...:)
does it start in neutral and park? if yes, linkage should be ok. The trans has it's own computer. you can buy used for about $50 from EBay or car-part.com
the gear is like this
stepping all front
1st gear front then 1 back is nutral then all gears behind
