just got r1200 c ,was lying up for a while ,,so battery needs charging,,and abs lights flashing been told when battery fully charged abs light goes out,,any views out there?,,,is it ok to leave battery on atrickle charge for a few days to get some life into it ..?
Hi Ken, about u r ABS lights flashing,would be to take it to the agent, or arrange with the workshop foreman to rigup u r bike to their computor to reset the ABS for a case of beers .Advice on charging your battery I would recommend getting a hydrometer so the Specific gravity can be measured, and which would prevent overcharging.Another alternative is to obtain a charger that discharges the battery, and then recharges it, extending the battery life.These chargers are a bit pricey, but would be worth it over time.The battery cells inside tend to buckle with overcharging and then short each other out, as a result of overcharging.Best of luck.
Hi i bought this model and love it to bits wow!!! ....the bike is fantastic to look at a 97 r1200c with 40 klm cost e2480 yes the chrome is a problem the front wheel is the worst ..may consider doing a powder coating will see ... problems with the bike the rear brake failed ..and was running lumpy fixed for e120 aroud 150$ new plugs and brake fluid replaced ....
then full service replace battery(plugs allready done and brake fluid) and oil pressure switch gasket repalce which was causing an oil leak ...wait for it... e800 cash and this was with the dealer whio did all the servicing with previous owner..bike running nicely now but at 13 years old it wont be like new .. love the bike the looks alone are worth having the bike for ...but the freedom i feel on this machine is great its like growing a pair of wings ....with abs the block would need replacing which i have been told will cost e1000 ,just for the part so will do withiut the abs for now ..[reply]
