LOL - that's what I was thinking! Had it happen before on a K75 - there was so much urine and poop in there it destroyed the air flow sensor.
'15 1200GSA won't start
- Thread starter Krime
- Start date
That would be best and hope BMW will honor warranty

Going to get it towed. I spoke with Roadside Assistance last week to find out if they'd pick it up, and apparently they will send a flatbed by appointment as well. I'll get it towed to the dealer in the next couple days.
Got the bike back last week. They claimed it was bad stabilizer or fuel. Actually I was told initially it was too much stabilizer, which is definetly not the case since I went by the instructions on the bottle and have been doing it for 15+ years.
The bill was $450. Very steep. They had to take the tank off to access and flush the fuel pump as well. I was told that when the fuel was flushed through and replaced, it started. I ended up getting the oil changed as well as the filter, since fuel had contaminated the oil from all the start-up attempts.
Apparently the only error code when plugged in was low battery voltage which showed from the cranking voltage which was expected. I'm not confident it wasn't a greater issue – maybe a software issue. Only time will tell.

$450 for pickup and drop off, and change the oil and drain the tank and filled with new gas ?
Essentially. I'd changed the oil and filter myself at the end of the last season, so there was 0 kms on it. I had to pay $240+tax for the oil change which I'd avoided last year by doing it myself. The rest of it was for diagnostic testing and flushing the fuel. There rate is $125 an hour, and it took them an hour and a half so that's your $450 right there.
The joys of owning a BMW.
The best part is, they overfilled my oil as well when they did the change. They put the full 4 litres in, but there's always left over oil that doesn't get out during the drain... hence why it's overfilled now.
Actually, just realized that's not even including the tow cost. Roadside assistance covered that.
