I´m traveling through Mexico on my 1997 F650 and have lost electrical power to my ignition, headlight and taillight, starting system, and horn, although my clock continues to keep it´s usual excellent time. I´m from the U.S. and speak very little Spanish, but was lucky enough to break down in a neighborhood with very friendly, helpful residents and a resident who speaks fluent English. Troubleshooting so far has involved replacing all three fuses located under the seat, and checking various connections. I originally thought my problem was in the ignition switch, but while investigating various things, we got a flash of light from the warning panel while replacing the seat. The first time I noticed the problem was in Saltillo two days ago. I tried to find the ¨centro¨or plaza in town and got caught in heavy traffic with many stoplights, etc. The bike ran very rough and I put the problem down to bad gas, since I had to use regular instead of premium. Yesterday, I was in Aguascalientes (still am) again in heavy traffic with long stoplights when it died. Because of this, I suspect something is getting hot and shutting down, although a night of cooling off has not fixed the problem. I have now exhausted my electrical troubleshooting skills and need further help. I´ve only seen one BMW since I got to Mexico and I suspect that if there is a BMW dealership it would be in Mexico City. With the problems I´m having, the idea of wandering around a city of twenty million people is not appealing. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
