Agree, jump the car to the bike, it still won't get spark probably and then you would know whether it's the battery or not.

put a jumper cable to the battery and then try it, saves waiting for your
battery to charge.

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 ...more

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,

What's the voltage at the battery? You need at least 12.3v for everything
to run. Sounds like a dead battery.

If you ran that battery that dry I would just get another battery.

I know its not a good battery anymore,and should be changed! I will do
that!But it’s less than two montha since it was changed to a new one-so I
thought it could be a part of the problem. ...more

If boiling off water so fast, usually means rectifier is defective. Check charging voltage if not too high

It could have been overcharged by a malfunctioned regulator rectifier.

I think 9 volt is ok. It’s just on 9 volt the second I press the starter
button-and the it comes back over 12 volt. The engine runs fast. Like normal

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

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 ...more

Hi,
The first thing you need to know is whether all the cells start to boil. if
only one or two cooks, the battery is clearly defective. I've experienced
this several times in my time as a ...more

In my experience with batteries when you try to start as you have and the
voltage drops below about 10.5 v then the batteries is damaged internally
as needs to be replaced. The engine may turn over ...more

The problem with that bike is a bad battery. Until that is replaced, bizarre faults will continue.

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 ...more
