My 2009 is having a similar problem, hit the start buttom, nothing. I mean totally nothing. I jump start it thinking weak battery, ride 145 miles, eat, dead. Call Roadside Ass to get jump, ride 90 miles to dealereship. 101 dollars later, can't find anything. Maybe I left something on and caused a battery issue. Ride 5 miles for gas, DEAD, get a jump ride 120 miles home and now it's started 8 or 10 times. I have the body off and the gas tank, where is this 5mm bolt located.

Thanks, Mike

It's not the battery. The times it did not start the gauges only swong half way around. Does that have some meaning. Change dealerships, yea to a Honda one.

Thanks John, here's the thing. When it won't start it does nothing, it's totally silent. A BMW rep thought it might a "dirty starter" condition not letting current pass though. The fix is to remove the starter and clean it. OK, how in the hell do you get thing off. If it was that I would think you would still hear the fuel pump whine. I'm pissed, this bike has left me stranded 3 times in less than 2 years. It only has 25000 miles on it, I'll be a certifed BMW mechanic bythe time I hit 50000 miles.

Yes, the battery was check out. Plus, the head light shines strong but NO sounds from the bike not even the fuel pump.
