new r1100s owner PhilipS64

[PhilipS64]

Hello Boxertrix -

Trading Up to a Boxer
An r1100s from 2002 in Frost- Blau - I'm delighted with it
Having px my f800s for its older bigger brother - what a good decision
I have only gone 90 miles so far and just getting used to the charming rocking and clunking

It has a 12v cigarette type power socket on stem below the dash - having tried a optimate battery charger plug-in, no joy charging - no other power socket (the smaller can bus type).
I will fit a battery tender lead to the terminals - where do folks typically route the plug to rest

thanks in advance for any guidance

I used to route an optimate lead to the area under the riders seat.

As you will find getting to the battery is a bit of a faff! Don't forget to remove the bolts under the BMW badge on the sides of the front fairing when removing it for access
