R1200 GS LC 2013 Battery Discharging in switch off position. GS-911 no error codes and only factor connections to battery posts.
Battery Discharging in switch off position
- Thread starter kb4slvjap
- Start date
Please provide some more details - what are the indications? How long garaged/not used? How old is the battery?
If bike new to you and symptoms after regular use, and battery about 5yrs old, then maybe time to change.

Owned bike since new. Three weeks ago bike was slow to start. Since it was the original battery, went to dealer and purchased a new battery. Road bike over that weekend and parked in garage Sunday night. The next Saturday morning bike bike was completely dead. Put on a battery charger and road my R850R to bicycle race. Saturday night battery would not charge and I purchased another new battery (non BMW) from a regular retail store. Road R1200GS that Sunday morning to race. Parked again Sunday night. Wednesday afternoon battery too discharge to start bike. I removed battery from bike and charged. That Friday installed battery and road bike to bicycle race. At the end of the day, I disconnect negative lead from battery until next day. Reconnected battery that morning and road bike all day and to home. I put an AMP meter between negative lead and battery and get 0.061 milli-amps which I don't think is enough to discharge battery in a few days. The GS-911 gives a normal read out with no error codes. Something has to be drawing current more than the 0.061 milli-amps I am getting with the bike in the switch off position. Thanks John

Do you mean 0.061 AMPS ?
If so, then that's 60mA, which will flatten your battery in a few days.

Do you any tracker or anything fitted? I had a similar issue with my Biketrac, shitty reception was causing the bike to poll frequently, quick call to them, they changed some settings and hey presto problem solved

If you leave a USB adapter in the socket it will cause a parasitic draw.
