Last week the bike wouldn't start; starter turned it over but engine didn't fire.
Pushed it home, plugged in charger until 'float' lit up, it started up, headed to Brackendale, quit 10 minutes later apparently out of gas.
Pushed it to nearby gas station; filled up; it started up; coughed a couple of times then it ran fine until Sunday;
So I assumed it was just a weak battery and out of gas.
Riding back to Squamish from Vancouver the engine just stopped, fortunately at the edge of Squamish.
Monday morning charging battery to 'float', no go; afternoon charging new battery to 'float', no go.
So it's not out of gas, the battery is good, the starter turns it over but it doesn't fire up.
It's not the kill switch, it's not the sidestand down.
Any suggestions?
Anyone in the Squamish area that works on BMWs?
I'm mechanically inept and I suspect it's something simple I've overlooked.
But if I can't get it running soon I'll have to arrange to get it to Vancouver to be worked on.
Thanks for any help.
