perhaps this is down to the alternator issue.
Out of interest, how much did the final upgrade to post 13 spec cost?
The alternator and flywheel replacement was done in Canada. From memory the parts where about $1500 Canadian. Plus labour......at A BMW dealer.
I forgot to mention that the bike also had a new clutch at the 69,000 mile mark in Canada. It wasn’t knackered but my mate Bernie that did the work at Island BMW suggested that with the extra weight of the sidecar etc it was worth doing as a problem in Central or South America could be a trip stopper.
I think that most people that know Bernie Wright would agree that he’s a top bloke and an excellent bike mechanic.
