    Electric Gremlins 2016 R1200 RT Part 2

    I posted several years ago on this topic and it has reappeared. Tried to go for a ride today and when I turned on the key, the dash went thru its usual start up but when I pushed the starter button absolutely nothing. I pulled the battery out and took it to the dealer and it tested bad. It had...

    Clearwater lights flash when plugging in battery charger

    I just installed some Clearwater Krista lights onto my 2006 R1200 GS. The issue that I have is that when I plug the bike into my BMW Battery Charger (part number 71 60 7 688 865) the Krista lights flash, like a photo flash. It then happens again as the battery charger cycles back to the red...

    Portable Battery Charger Recommendation

    I have a 2016 RT and I always ride and camp in remote areas. My battery seems fine (but who really knows). Rather than replace it on a schedule, I'd rather carry a charging unit. This way I have a device with me I can also use to charge my cell phone, Kindle, etc. while traveling. If I cannot...

    Hi Everyone, I need to get some input, on my 2016 R1200RS I want to get a battery maintainer. One dealership tells me only the BMW one that plugs into the port can be used because of all the electronics. Another dealerships tells me a battery tender will work fine that's what they use on there...

    Trickle Charger - 2016 RT

    I am looking for information on what trickle charger to buy for my new RT. I just came from an FJR and I used a Battery Tender for years. But, I think, given the CANBUS system, one needs a special type of charger? Lastly- my RT did come with an SAE battery connector tucked under the right side...

    We are traveling around the US and park the bikes in storage every year somewhere. We usually have a trickle charger for them but this year we didn't have access to an outlet. Does anyone know the best portable battery chargers out there? We may need to call AAA but understand there is a...

    Battery Charger

    My battery dealer says I should use a CTEK charger with my Odyssey batteries. Why wouldn't my Deltran charger be just as good ? Or is he just trying to sell me a CTEK ?
