Help - Initially I noticed when I changed into 6th gear, the gear indicator display was blank (rest of the gears showed correctly). Checked that it was in gear properly -still same. Applied a little upward pressure on the gear lever "6" showed on the display.

10 Kms later even the neutral light didn’t show when in neutral. Plus now when stationary, no matter what Gear was selected, the display was blank until I started moving at about 15kms upward.

I can feel a roughness transmitted through the foot pegs, so now I am shitting myself.  It feels expensive!!! Something broken in the box? Something floating around in there? I drained the gear oil and filtered it through a cloth – no signs of fillings.

Any ideas / suggestions (other than buying a KTM) before I get someone to open her up? Anyone have a R1200 GS Workshop manual they can email me?
