hi guys just changed the handlebars for lsl craft handlebars , have put everything back together , and all switches ,throttle work ok apart from the menu scroll switch just cant get it to scroll through the menus , have a missed something out when putting back together, on the clutch side i slid the handgrip off so didn't have to take any electrical connectors out , been out on the bike for test ride and everything works ok apart from the menu scroll button . got me scratching my head , any suggestions welcome

89 views , and no ideas took it all apart tonight and made sure the electrical connectors are pushed home and still the same looks like its a visit to the dealers to get my pants pulled down

This is a long shot, but maybe you could disconnect / reconnect the battery. Be nice if a reboot would wake it up.

Disassemble. Prop stuff up. Reconnect all wires. Test if it works like this. If so, something is going wrong when you reassemble. If not, perhaps you have a wire issue? I’m not sure I have the resources to know how to check the offending control off hand.

tried stripping it all out and put back together, and still the same everything works except thumbwheel and menu button , speaking to the dealer he said the thumbwheels is delicate but surely you should be able to slid off one handlebar and fit to another without damage , really don't know where to go now new thumbwheel is about £150 but may not be the problem ,new switchgear is about 400-500 pound , and diagnosis from main dealer is about £150 , seems to have turned out to be expense change of handlebar even though the position is now spot on with the new bars .

anyone else who has changed there bars had this problem ?

.

Thanks Dave I will try a full stop on it ,never know it might work .

I tried that and failed - also unable to copy the pdf on "controller warning" about NOT stripping it apart

"Opening of switch unit.
Damage to the conductors coated with protective sealing lacquer.
Do not separate the top and bottom parts of the switch unit.

I also had the controller fail, thumbwheel issues but I had both the switch and thumbwheel replaced by the dealership as 'warranty'.
My failure caused the satnav to keep selecting down the menu until it lowered the screen to zero percentage display.

ah thanks dave ,this maybe the problem as i thought i had to remove that to get the connectors out as it turned out i didn't , but it was too late ,wonder if it can be repaired seems a waste to buy new switch unit when everything else works ok .

I hope this is all wasted and it works now! but if not, from my K16 days, some ideas:

- some mid 20teen BMW models had issues with the left side switch housing. I didn't see your year bike in your signature, but if you're in the mid 201x range, it may have been you pushed their delicacy over the line and may have to switch the housing
- many had good luck disconnecting the battery. waiting a good 30+ minutes, and reconnecting.
- others said they found a loose ground in their electrics and that particular gremlin would affect the WW. if you messed with other wiring, perhaps check that
- if you or a friend have a GS-911, check to see if there are any fault codes. study them for any clues, but then clear them
- most had to replace the switch cluster, including WW

last ditch effort if you're up for it can be found here. worked for one, but could work for another: www. k1600forum.com/threads/wonder-wheel-replace-or-repair.187716/#post-2399152

thanks for you help i got another switch unit today fitted it and everything is working as it should , expensive lesson learned there , don't open up the switch unit if removing the handlebar grip , the 2 connectors the bigger one pulls out and the smaller one on top is held with a little plastic tab , you just have to remove the little tab to access the connectors .
