I'm a bit new to bmw's so where is the best place to plug in the Optimate charger ? On the battery post plug (with the weatherproof rubber covering) or into the auxiliary plug low down on the left side ? Thanks in advance.
Optimate, where to plug ?

I plug my charger into the auxiliary socket on the starter motor cover. Works fine for me

Either is good, the socket is fused (fuse 3 on my bike) whereas the jump starter post is hardwired.

Plug directly using the battery cable method as you suggested, avoid the on board accessory socket as it switches off after a few minutes of use. Loads of threads on this site, just do a search and you will be amazed. assuming you have a GS1200 of course.
As he's posting in the 11xx section I kind of assumed he isn't talking about a 1200
We don't have newfangled CANBUS electrics.
I stand corrected, thank you for pointing out that it is in the 1100 section...oh how stupid I am!

Standard on some bikes/years but don't know which. Do a search on jump or jump start and some info will come up.
