I had a problem this morning, started the bike bike fine and rode 10 mile to meet up with my cousin, I got to the meet point early and switched off the engine. 5 minutes later he turned up and I tried to start the bike, it would turn over slowly 2 or 3 times and stop, I tried 6 or 7 times same result, waited 5 mins and tried again, no joy.
I logged a call with BMW assistance and waited, after 10 minutes I thought, "I bet it starts first time when they get here, so tried it again, started 1st time with a full crank. Rang up BMW to cancel the call out and went on my way. 20 minutes later I got a call from the roadside technician asking where I was, I did explain that I had phoned to cancel the callout. I had no further problems during the day.
Any ideas as to what could cause such an issue?
The bike is a 2018 R1250RT
Wouldn't start after a short run

Have a look through this thread, viewtopic.php?t=6039&hilit=compression might be the automatic de-compressor not working correctly.
