I was having some issues with my battery being low and I would get these weird errors on the GS. It would come up saying; “rear brake light faulty.” And the bike would not start. I would have to let it sit for about 10min and then it would start up.
The dealer told me this was a low battery issue and the fix was simple:
1. BMW recommends charging your motorcycle battery every 4 months
2. And replace the battery every 2 years.
I knew in winter it would be best to get a battery charger anyways to keep everything up and running smoothly.
I love the optimate 4. It’s quality and easy to use. They have graphics on the charger that tell you how what all the settings are. If you ever decided to get the DIN socket cable you can charge your BMW MOTORCYCLE by just plugging in and you don’t need to mess with the battery at all.
I decided against the DIN socket for the moment because I wanted USB chargers in place of my DIN socket.
Yes, I know you can get a kit to move it under the seat, but I just haven’t done it. The newer GS now has the DIN socket relocated under the seat.
For all my gear that I use see the links below.
