Bill - Thanks for your input. I had the BMS updated in Singapore in October to the current '200E' edition. A friend of mine in a BMW dealer in the UK has told me about a modified balance weight (Decompressor lever) from BMW for use with BMS '190E' onwards. Pt#11317699386. The spring for this part should be changed at the same time Pt#11312343097. I have ordered these parts from the UK.
I fitted a new Yuasa battery in Salta and rode up to Susques (3600m) but the following morning my bike still wouldn't start. As usual I waited in the sun for a few hours and she started. Unfortunately this problem is seriously affecting where I can go and I had to cancel my plans to enter Bolivia via Hito Cajon and to camp on the Salar - until I can resolve this starting problem.
Oh how I wish I bought a DR650!!
JC - No worries. You'll enjoy the area. Paso Sico was beautiful.
