Need Help, bike won't start

Postby Oregon_K12RS on Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:45 am

My problem was intermitten with starting the bike. I'd turn the key and press down and sometimes it would start and now it won't turn over at all. I have power to the headlight and gauges and I hear the abs energizing... Where should I start?

Could it be the starter relay, the starter itself? I have it on a battery charger and it reads good.

My bike is a 02' K12RS.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Try another battery, seen more than one case with BMW's where the battery looks OK, reads full charge, dash lights up, fuel pump etc fires, but no go.

All were fixed with new batteries.

Thanks Paul. I'll pull it tomorrow and have it load tested.
