Battery/Clock

["Tom Brown" <tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marco:

Are you still running 20/50 oil in your bike.  All the other suggestions are
good.  I'd try the simple stuff first.  Put 10/40 regular or better yet,
synthetic, in you bike in winter.   Avoid synthetic for first 12,000 miles
at least, however, to break the bike in.

Bike will start easier and will probably not draw the battery down like
that.

Keeping a trickle charger on will heat the battery somewhat in addition to
charging it, which is good.

If your 1150 is new, you'll need a battery tender made for gel type
batteries.  Your BMW dealer has them for about $40,000 plus applicable
taxes.
