Got my 2010 BMW G450X a week ago and sadly there seems to be an issue with the alternator since it does not charge the battery while riding, luckily with me being lightweight and the bike as well, my friends just pushed me to jumpstart the bike to get me home where I put it on charge again.
We did confirm the problem Saturday afternoon by stripping the bike and testing the 3-phase cable with the voltmeter where it read 30 - 16 - 6. So yeah, a new alternator needed, fun times...
If anyone knows a secondhand BMW dealer for parts or know of someone who can source an alternator, please DM me. I will greatly appreciate it.
I have contacted Ryan's Motorcycle Surgery but would like some more options as well. I tried Startline and Craig's but they don't sell any alternators.
