Really mad at BMW right now. C650GT will not start if it sits for 3 days or longer, but will start if I jump the battery. Dealer says it put the battery on BMW's "test unit" and the battery is fine. (OK, so why does jumping the battery work then?).
I will go out and buy my own replacement battery (and NOT a BMW brand). What kind do I need? Can I find it on Amazon.com?
Postscript a few weeks after this original post:
It turns out that it was my side stand that was draining the battery down for some reason. Had the side stand replaced and now all is good. Use the CENTER STAND whenever you're leaving the bike for any longer amount of time.
