S...happen !!!!
Unfortunately the bike broke today 84 km from Hermosillo in the middle of the desert, it died on me and I found a fuse burnt but after I changed it, it blew again.
I put my emergency triangle that lasted minutes before a truck run over it (sorry, the Internet is slow and I can't show you pictures, but believe me I will), and I enjoyed a really warm weather trying to find a way to go back......(never ride with little water in the desert, not a good idea)
I was in the desert for almost 4 hours until the police stoped and called an emergency truck that brought the bike and me back to Hermosillo (the truck also broke....and we have to change it...unbelievable ).
I went to a motoshop where really friendly people made all they could to help, unfortunately they do not know BMW, we worked all afternoon and I think we found the problem, the electric fan is running heavy and taking more amps that it should (sorry for the technicalities …) I believe the last two days rhythm was too much for the cooling fan of the bike. Tomorrow morning I'll try to find a spare part in Tucson. Really unexpected....
