Hi all:
Greetings. I have a 2008 BMW R1200RT stored indoors. It has not been on the road for almost a year. I would start the bike and let it idle for at least 5 minutes twice or thrice a month and the bike will start right away.
However, recently I didn't start it for a least a good month and a half and now when I tried, it just wouldn't start. I checked the battery, its fully charged. I did also connect my car battery, but it wouldn't start. The engine cranks/turns over full but just wouldn't start. I can hear the fuel pump etc.
On the dash, I get the attached red STOP ( ! ) light with the exclamation mark. I did research on this and it says the red error light signifies ABS failure. Could this cause the bike not to start? What could be the possible reason for the bike not to start?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Daza
