Wasn't that the one that Henry Cole took the Harley electric bike over?

Looked fun for adventure/small bikes. Don't know about the K though.

And on thread-topic  Hot start wiring fix. I think there is an aftermarket option as well. Or just make up your own if you're handy.  Or don't worry about it if it only happens once in a blue moon.

Mines a 2015 version with all upgrades allegedly, I’m not convinced I don’t need to improve things, I know weather wise it was hot but it wasn’t south of France/ Spain hot so if it’s starting to struggle in Blighty something will need to be done, yes Rae I hear your thoughts😁

Agreed - mine kicks in earlier than any other bike too. However, it starts from hot now the loom mod has been done.
But check the battery is good first, Ady, before spending.

Yes will do Rich, was your wiring mod the BMW version of one made by someone who knows what they are doing?

BMW North Oxford under warranty in effect - i.e. less than 3 years old and I bent their ear since it stopped in a dangerous place.

A lion battery would have prevented this. As for the fan the crude used in the roads there is the culpable and soon a new radiator would be needed.
