DEAD Battery
Just getting F900 XR TE ready for the road after winter lay up. Hit the starter & nothing & the screen showed various faults. Oxford Optimizer showed 14;4 V. It had been on charge for several months. Called BMW Assist who arrived at my home in 30 mins (impressive). Seems the battery charger was at fault giving false readings. The man in the van recommended getting a CTEK XS charger compatible with AGM batteries. Just ordered one off Amazon £36:99. The man in the van took my battery to charge overnight & will be back tomorrow with it or a new battery. Hope that sorts it. Morale of the story, get the correct charger.
