Might be a fuel delivery problem like the fuel pump.POP the spark plugs out and squirt some fuel into the combustion chamber ,replace the plugs and crank the bike over. If it barks you know its a fuel problem.If not pop out one spark plug ,ground it,and yourself and have someone hit the start button.If you don't get a spark then you know its an ignition problem.Its a process of elimination to get to the problem.good luck

Changed driver door secerity ligt blinking kills moter lights flash how do i stop this

new drivers door
you drop battery neg lug first before work(per fsm warnings)
you made short circuit and borked the vtss or skim
so not the immoblizer lamp in dash glows, it dont lie.
as that cuts fuse after 3 second run time (by design!)
use a scan tool see what errors you have,

that be first.
check all fuses 1st first;.

WHY IS THERE THE WRITH " LAMPF! " ON THE DISPLAY OF MY GS 1200 2006?

There is a light out on the front of your bike, could be a parking light, turn signal or headlight bulb. Turn on ignition and check the lamps on the bike, then start the engine and check the headlights.

Do you have the owners manual for the R1200GS? The warning indicators are described in the manual.
