Switch Cluster problems ??

[JayJay10117]

Was just wondering if anyone on here has experienced any problems with either of the handlebar switch clusters.  The last time I was out, I noticed the Trip/Info switch tend to stick in one position or the other.  I experienced a switch cluster problem on a K1300GT a few years ago (indicators could be turned on but couldn't be cancelled) which turned out to be somewhat expensive (for a bit of plastic, some switches and a length of wire I thought)  and am curious to know if this is common.  I still have some warranty left and would try to get it sorted before it runs out.

Not heard of anyone else with this exact problem.....there have been a few where the whole left switch housing is a wee bit loose but that's a different issue.

If she's still under warranty I'd be getting it looked at pronto..

Yes I’ve had the same problem.
WD 40 seemed to cure it, for the present.

Yeah Jasper, that's what a mate suggested.  Is it long since you had to use the WD-40 and have you had any further issues.

Used it about 2 months ago, am running it all year ,weather permitting,
and is ok at present. It’s a 2016 bike and have had the bar cluster/grips tightened once.

My left hand switch cluster was replaced under warranty at the 6000 mile service.  It had exactly the same problem  (the info button sticking in) so setting the clock etc was virtually impossible. WD40 only provided a temporary cure and it was replaced without quibble.  I had to pop back to the dealer once the replacement came in and it took literally 15 minutes to swap over.

Will need to keep an eye on this, warranty runs out early next year.
Thanks for update.

Spoke with my local dealer and a warranty replacement is not a problem.  It's due the pre end of warranty check in a couple of months so get it all done then.  There's something else which I wasn't aware of until very recently.  Apparently BMW will, under warranty, fit some sort of rubber bushings/pads/washers/or whatever to pre. 2017 models which apparently helps with the handlebar vibrations.  It's not a recall but was described as a sort of unofficial official job.  I mentioned it to my local dealer who said they knew nothing about it but I subsequently spoke to another who said no problem.  Apparently the parts required are very cheap so I assume it wouldn't be an expensive do even if you had to pay for it.  Just in case anyone out there is interested
