BMW charger for motorcycle. Lithium and normal battery modes. £55 posted

Trying to understand if it’s a feature or an issue as my bike doesn’t seem to fully switch off after switching off and locking. Wondering if it’s normal. Two observations so far: 1. I have Chigee TR100 USB C power connected to the battery as recommended. It doesn’t switch off as I can see green...

Hi, apologies for the newbie question. I need to charge the battery (the first time) on my 2016 F800 GSA. I know how to remove the centre plastic cover and find the battery, but what is that connector next to the ignition key hole, which some videos mention like a factory fitted power outlet...

Hi fellow RTers, I'm looking for recommendations for a compact "jump start" rechargeable battery pack to get me out of trouble on these cold mornings. I have no garage or external power to facilitate the use of a battery conditioner for my 2021 RT LE and I don't want to be buying a new battery...

I have a parasitic battery drain on my 2001 R1150GS of 11ma and have removed all fuses one by one along with all relays again one by one in the fuse box and none of them causes the reading to go down. The drain flattens the battery after about 4 weeks if not used and this is not ideal at this...

TLDR; I need a new battery for my 2015 R1200GS LC. Do I want the Yuasa YTX14-BS? The bike's been attached to BMW's canbus charger whenever it's in the garage, but earlier this week she almost failed to turn over after filling up at the end of a ride. Needless to say this annoyed me somewhat -...

Hi all, the (aged) battery on my 2014-2019 R1200RT died peacefully during the winter. I would ask you to kindly direct me towards the following: 1) a step-by step video if such one is existing. I found several for the older model, but none for the 2014 model. 2) any precaution with the...

Hi All, changed the battery yesterday but carelessly dropped Torx driver through the bottom of the battery box. Not sure how far it fell but certainly out of view. Anyone any idea what I should remove with a view to retrieving it?

Morning fellow Gser's ! I have a 2015 1200GS TE and I'd like to fit battery optimiser whilst it's stood over the winter. I already have a ctek unit for my sports bike and I'm wondering if I can buy another for my GS or do I need something that won't damage the canbus system ? I'm hoping you...

Hi everyone, I have had a recurrent problem with my 2015 bike, regarding the current that is actually drawn whilst the bike is sat in my garage. Bought the bike and had a DataTool tracker fitted when I bought the bike. Then 6 months later my bike was stolen and recovered half hour later by the...

Bearing in mind Berlin's wonderful design concept whereby in order to unhook or remove the battery on these bikes, you need to half-dismantle the entire sodding vehicle, my pal Mo with the '04 GS Adventure - enormous bike - and I with my much more easily nick-able '04 Rockster, are both...

Hi, I have a 7 years old F650 GS Twin, it's done 36k miles. Recently, it has developed an electrical problem. The bike starts fine every time, but after about 2 or 3 miles of road riding, the engine would cut out. What I've noticed is that the display goes blank for a second or so, then it...

I'm looking at a high capacity battery for the GoPro and looking at either a Brunton all day battery or a Refuel Battery. Has anyone any experience with either or any pointers or alternatives.

Good morning all, having a bit of bother and thought I'd ask the experts before I go ordering a new battery or anything more drastic. Story so far (feel free to skip this bit as it turned into a bit of an episode): Tuesday last week I decided half way through a particularly boring meeting...

Hi guys, Quick question. What do you call that battery retainer thingy which keeps the battery from moving about in its tray? I'm just about to take the bike out of hibernation, and I can't find it anywhere. I remember taking it off when I was putting the battery on the Optimate in late...

Been having a few issues with the bike of late, its kind of not starting great :rolleyes: I use this bike every day in all weathers, seems odd battery is fading. And its in a nice dry garage at night. This starting issue has been quite sporadic, but over the last week has gotten much worse. The...

R1100GS. So my battery is not getting charged properly. Is it worth repairing an alternator? Is this a viable option or am I better off getting one from Motobins and installing it myself/getting someone to do it for me?

Here is the situation, and I am just wondering whether I need to be planning for the worst................any guidance is welcomed. - currently living in Azerbaijan with my wife and 3 young kids - went back home to the North East of England mid-March '14 and bought a 2013 RG1200 TE from the...
