Hi all,

Got to say the help and advice on here has been great so far so...

I have a halfords motorcycle trickle charger that I'd like to connect to my 2007 R1200S.

The manual advises only using a BMW one that connects via the accessories socket. Is this right, or unsubtle marketing?

Thanks

Mark

Just hook up a pig-tail direct to your battery - It's not caused any problems to any of the GS, R, ST, S 1200s - ever.
