Why will my K 1200S not start after Start Supression?

I am wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. If I accidentally attempt to start the bike in gear, the start suppression will prevent this from happening. However if I then take it out of gear and attempt to start it normally, it won’t start. It sounds like the battery is flat. It has enough ergs to just crank the engine over but not enough to start. I have had to wait sometimes up to 15 minutes before I can start the bike again.

After 15 minutes or so, everything seems to return to normal and it will start just fine.

The battery is just the same as it was when it sounded like the battery was flat but now it cranks the engine over just fine.

Any suggestions?

Ok thanks. Which fuse would need changing? I suspect you could be right about the battery though too.
