Battery

[steveh]

Hi All

2016 GS LC would not start this morning. Relay clicked but no starter motor, I suspected battery (even though the bike is used almost every day) however called BMW assist anyway.

Long story short is he started the bike with another battery and then checked:

alternator
original battery
fault codes etc

And they all looked fine inc of the battery which showed at 100% full and 14.1volts (just as I expected!)

This would leave me to believe that the battery is marginal to say the least...has anyone had the same problem and changed the battery as a result. Did this fix the problem and was the battery OEM or a better/bigger option?

Thanks

Steve

Yep, came to mine one day and nothing, battery flat. Changed under warranty.

Dam pressed the wrong key. Look at starter. I had similar on my hexhead. It was the starter. A new battery and leads made no difference. New starter and old battery starts fine now

No but it was "marginal to say the least"
Not right then.
