Hey Jazz,
I am no elec expert so I will leave that to the boys above. However, I had a new GSA from Vines in Sep 15. Throughout 2016 I had 4 catastrophic battery failures. After each one I was 'assured' it was fixed. By the 4th time I had lost confidence, took the bike back and told them I never wanted to see the effing bike again. I subsequently came to an agreement with them and traded the bike for a new TB last Dec. No probs with this one thank goodness.
I believe this is a KNOWN problem with some bikes and the dealer / BMW have a duty of care to us as customers.
Good luck mate
Hi Dodger,
That is a worrying prospect :-(, the bike is not new, is two years old so no luck getting a new bike, but the thing is the bike never had problems before going in January for a repair to a BMW dealer. Since then, the original battery went, and two more since then.
I am going to motoscot tomorrow and if they say they cannot find the problem I will launch an official complaint against BMW themselves because I have been more than once to a couple of dealers and they did nothing to help. Thanks, fingers crossed, motoscot will find the problem!
