To give you a good advise – bye a new Battery !
If the water-level (Acid) in the battery was during the winter already ¼ of the proper level, the lead-plattes have build oxide,
Which works as a insulter – therefore even if you refill it with new water up to the proper level,
the battery will never reach the same capacity like bevor and new troubles will follow.
Regards
Edi

I have charged the battery, and filled it with destilled water. It actually seems fine. When i press the starterbottom it only goes down to 9 volt, and then comes back up to 12. 5 so that seems ok

My experience (limited, an ‘enthusiastic’ User of the GS911) is that these modern BMWs are very sensitive to battery state, and although you may get a reasonable voltage during cranking it drops so much that the electronics can’t, or won’t handle it.
I would, in the first instance, ensure that it is topped up, perhaps check the electrolyte with one of those hydrometers in big syringe to check that all the cells are about the same, use a BMW charger or Optimate (4 – with canbus is best but the III is also designed for the task) to give it a really good charge and then go through the test cycle (and it will attempt desulphate if it thinks it needs to), reset any fault with the GS911, then check the electrolyte again, then if ok have another go. If it works, monitor it for a while to see if the battery is still ok or not. Personally I think it’s worth going through all that before spending the money on a new and expensive battery, but that’s just me.
I’m guessing, by the way, that the one you bought is a cheaper liquid lead acid battery as you have talked about topping it up; I believe an AGM one is recommended, but I have used one of the liquid ones in the past (Yuasa I think) and it was fine for around five years, but then I didn’t let it lose its liquid ;-)
Good luck with it.

9V is in general deemed to be too low when starting. Normally 10V is minimum

9v won't work, it's dropping too much.

The voltage drops because you put a load on it so don't worry about what the voltage is when starting it. Give your new battery a good charge and keep it on a automatic battery maintenance charger (Optimate 1 is what I use) when not riding it. Ride safe and stay healthy!
