2022 R18 Classic
Hi , I have my 2022 classic on an Optimate 4 , on checking battery shows 12.5 volts , up and running 14.5 volts , twice lately after a short run and stop for coffee i just get a "click "and no start , then boom she starts , the second time this happened just getting a "click" and a guy said roll the bike and then boom she starts , he stated its a blank spot on the alternator which is news to me anyone had this problem before i contact Mr BMW Dealership.
 
Although it has never happened to me, I recall someone a while ago mentioning that after a couple of thousand miles his/her TC or B stopped starting on the first crank but the second crank was the magic one.
 
I was trying to think of the different safety switches and such that might prevent the bike from engaging the starter motor: Clutch not pulled 100% in, In Gear and Kick Stand Down, etc..
 
Well went for a run today no problems , thanks for your comments and after a re-think i reckon it was myself being in a flap that day , its an age thing ?
