Recently bought a used 750 from BMW dealer, had 5K mile already done with 1 previous BMW employee owner. When I went to collect it the battery was dead, dead, dead. The dealer was able to jump start with small power pack. it seemed to start well for the next 1 week then I encountered the same issue. BMW were fair enough to supply me a brand new battery FOC. Battery installed, a few small runs had the bike sat in the garage for +/- 2 weeks without use. I went to go on a bike trip yesterday and although the battery wasn't dead, dead, dead, it was drained down to 7 volts. I sent an email to the FP at BMW dealer asking for elec inspection to be done and he responded with 2 notes.
1) BMW dealer- Does the bike have a tracker?
a) I have not opted to activate the data tool tracker offered with the bike so to my needs I don't require a tracker however the previous owner may have used this?
b) How can I tell if there is a tracker on the bike? and where would it be?
2) BMW dealer- Are you using a trickle charger?
a) This is my first BMW bike but not my first bike by a long shot, I have never stored my previous bikes with trickle chargers connected so why would he be asking if I am using a trickle feeder??
b) Any 750 owners had any similar issues? Any known history with this bike? if so what was the outcome?
