Why is MY BMW G450X having problems starting?
Sounds like you battery isn’t holding a charge, your strator may be gone, or faulty, if it’s hard to start the first time, but then throughout the day of riding it starts no problem, could also be a shitty battery. Same thing happened to me i got a new battery and haven’t had a problem so far.
What causes a battery to go bad after a long time?
But if the battery has been dry for a long time, it can cause a problem. When the plates in the cells are exposed to oxygen, it rapidly causes sulfation to build up. Sulfation is the number 1 cause of early battery failure. Plus, charging a dry battery will burn it up.
When does a car battery go into disuse?
Disuse If you’ve let your car sit idle for awhile without using it, usually at least two weeks or more, then your battery might have lost enough power that it can no longer start your engine.
How many throttle body potentiometers does BMW G450X have?
The G450x has 2 Throttle Body potentiometers. The second one controls the fast idle (like a choke) for cold starting. My guess is that one is out of adjustment.

Why does battery drop to 10.5 volts after charging?
A fully charged battery will usually be ~13vdc. If you lose one cell, it will drop it down ~2vdc, which puts it right down in the arena of 10.5vdc. A direct short inside of a cell will allow electrons to pass through the short instead of raising the voltage, which is the reason you’re still reading the 10.5vdc.
