I have an optimate 4 which I believe is can bus friendly and I have a lead that I took of the last battery I had on my 04gs. I take it I can just connect this to the new 1200lc and connect up? the lead stays on full time.

I have bought optimate 4 dual program and would like to charge my gsa 1200 my 2018 via the socket close to the dashboard. However I do not understand at all how to do it. The optimate manual is a mess.

Thank you all for the advice. Now charging well. The bike is new and has the original battery. I suppose it is lead battery.

I removed the can bus and replaced it with this from Nippy Normans. Fits perfect and makes much more use of the can bus socket

Thanks fellas for all your great info. When I was looking through the optimal box I found the can bus lead!!! but have the bike all sorted and lead directly to battery so thats the way it'll stay!.
I bought an Optimate 4 today to charge my 2016 GSA via the Canbus socket. Well, it is the Wunderlich version from Nippy Norman, but am assured its is the same and the manual is for the Optimate 4.
It is in the Canbus mode as described above and the two lower lights are flashing, which the manual says is STEP 1. The problem is that it doesnt seem to go into STEP 2 to actually charge the battery. Any advice? I have checked the connections and all seem good.
