Second try today to start the bike

The bike started to rumble right away. I was starting it on the charged battery. After about 5 tries, I about to turn the key off and heard a click, all the lights went off. I'd run into this problem before.

There is a relay in a box just under the rear end of the tank. When you try to start the bike on a low battery it tends to weld this relay. Which means, I may have to remove the tank to get to the box of relays. The problem is that I forget which relay it is. I need to go back the BMW forum and find my thread.

When this happened before I freaked out. I thought it was a fuse, but none were blown. I went to the forum, it may have been the first time. The ultimate answer came from a lady K rider in Norway!

It was still over 90 so I decided that I'd wait until it got cooler. Sadly, I forgot that we were going out to dinner. The fix of the relay will have to wait until tomorrow morning.
