Hi
bike is Gen 3 2018.
I swapped out the oem lead acid for a Skyrich Lithium Ion Battery mid season las year. All seemed well for rest of season. Then at Almeria in Oct bike wouldn't start the beginning of one session. Turned over but didn't bite. Chap put a booster pack on and it fired up. No further issues for rest of hols.
Bike has been in garage since beginning November and on trickle charge (optimate duo charger). Started recently and had the same very lazy tick over issue before engine finally fired up. I've now stuck the lead acid back in thinking that issue is with the lithium somehow (although the test lights on the battery itself show it as full).
Any thoughts/recommendations appreciated.
Bike is also under a used warranty from bmw so could get them to take a look if it's something other than the battery.
Back to Almeria in April so i'll keep starting up regularly before then and see what happens.
thanks in advance
