Guess that last bit was aimed squarely at me
While I bow to your knowledge and your amassed 13000 posts, some people are new to these bikes, they cost an arm and a leg to buy so before doing stupid things asking the "experts" may be a good idea, maybe not?
Look at the amount of posts I have placed, then think ice breaker question.
Fully understand the theory of charging a battery, all my bikes have maintenance chargers fitted, some across the poles some via a socket, one even has a mag connector I made up to see if it would work.
So maybe advise and not sarcasm is the way to go? Or is it just me?

Don't worry too much about the sarcasm on here, you'll soon get used to it.
This lot tend to get all crotchety this time of year!

Did you post this with a Hands Free kit?

I guess some people spend more time posting sarcastic comments than riding bikes.
If you ride the chuffin bike then there is never any need to charge the chuffin battery - why the FUCK people get so worked up about battery charging never ceases to amaze me 
To be honest the guy asked a straight forward question. Nobody knows his mechanical. Aptitude, and his trepidation with the canbus system is understandable. But saying that people did try to point him in the right direction and it did, nt seem to fuckin sink in. If he is unsure, the best place for him would be the dealers.

I find riding mine keeps it charged up

Yup you are right, but I have limited free time and three bikes. Any suggestions other than sell two of them.
Any suggestions....
Get a dealer to do it.
That's just one, mind. I'm sure there'll be others.

Connect it directly to the battery via the special lead that comes with the optimate. It's what I do on all my bikes (including a 1200GS)
Ignore the piss taking on here. It's just a sign that you've been accepted into the group
Oh, and feel free to give it, as well as take it
PS. Once you get called a tosser, then you know you've definitely been accepted.
PPS. Read the bike manual. There's lots of good info in there. I know as men we don't read instructions, but it's more of a bible really...

Seriously? You can't pick one of the many suggestions so far? I'd get a dealer to work your brain too.
I think he was referring to being able to ride all three bikes regularly to charge the batteries, with limited free time?
Before I joined this forum I wondered what the referral to tosser was, but after some of the replies I have had, I think I get the idea.
If this is the way you guys treat a new member, it is a wonder you ain't all alone here.
I may not know much about these bikes or pancakes even, but I do know a tosser when I come across one,.

But we're not all alone.... far from it in fact.... and we've been here for almost 13 years now
What you have to ask yourself is.... "maybe I don't get it"
You could always read the instructions that come with the charger.
