While the OEM battery was run down quite a bit, it did accept a charge and I put it back in the bike after a few days as per instructions from BMWOM. Resolution (if any): Replaced battery with a Yuasa YTZ10S and charged the OEM BMW battery. Modifications (if any): Heated grips, PIAA lights, otherwise stock electrically.ĭescription of Failure(s): When at a routine ATM stop the bike would not start. Later the same day I picked it up, the bike failed to start at a routine dry cleaning stop. They replaced it under warranty, however the problem did not get resolved. Resolution (if any): The shop said it was a defective battery and this is a known defect.

The exception would be, that it would always start when cold.

It would resurface many times without pattern. After a time (Usually 10 min) it would start up without any problems. 1500-3500ĭescription of Failure(s): Periodically the bike would not start. First time same thing - switch off and it won't switch on again.Ĭan't help but note that over the same time I've owned this bike, our two Triumphs (Tiger 1050 & new Bonnie) have not had a glitch or any unscheduled maintenances I switched off to stretch my legs (take a leak) & bike is dead dead dead. This occurred after several days straight riding - maybe 800 miles in 3 days so it wasn't like the bike ever sat. I will try to recover the bike Wednesday. This one is far away and by the time I gave up, it was night & Sunday. Nice lady opened up for me & let me put battery on charger / tester. Remove battery & hike to auto repair place.
