Hi - I was having problems with charging, I thought. So I got a totally new battery, charged overnight at 14v. Starts up fine and rides around the block a few times and then re-starts ok. A slightly longer ride, 10 minutes, and then it gets home and won't re-start. Battery has shrunken to 12.3 volts...from 14. and no action at all after a couple of coughs. So, it's not exactly draining the battery but it's not starting with 12-13 volts. (Should it?) I also replaced the voltage regulator just in case - twice - once with a junkyard version and then a new one. Still, same scenario. I would definitely not be doing this myself but I can't get an appointment with the local BMW dealer until May 27. I hate to miss a month of spring riding! Any suggestions welcome
