Help needed urgently.
'92 K75S. Has been unfailingly reliable for the 2 years I've had it (apart from a minor ignition switch issue - easily fixed).
However, after being unused and unstarted for 3-4 weeks, battery is low. Turns over and almost fires, so I persevere. Finally, seems to develop a short circuit across the starter motor - starter turns whatever the ignition switch setting, including when jump started.
I've read on another forum that trying to start with a low battery is a no-no. Why would that be the case?
Please guide me through diagnosis and fix - P-plate daughter means this is now my only means of independent transport !

Sorry for late reply but could not log in and have been dying to tell someone I knew what the problem was.
