Needed a CAN-bus charger for a brand new BMW motorcycle being delivered. Optimate is my first choice, as I use their other products for vintage and current model vehicles. I have many years experience of Optimates as a satisfied customer but bike electrical systems have moved on and it was time to update my charger to suit CAN-bus technology. The CAN-bus Optimate 4 was easy to fix to my garage wall - and it has the BMW compatible connection plug that is a good fit onto the bike. The box contained all I needed apart from 4 screws to mount it onto the garage wall (which I had anyway). No fuss - plug and play operation - gives you comfort that your battery will be in tip top condition every time you turn the ignition key on. Also noted that this version is compatible with Ducati bikes as well. Product is now in day-to-day use and I'm very satisfiedRead full review

Optimate Bmw canbus charger is NOT suitable for BMW motorcycles as they use lithium ion batteries which this charger is unsuitable for. Google a battery charger for your bmw bike and Tayna’s advert for this battery charger comes up. £75 down the pan as I had to return it via EVRI who attempted return on a Sunday when TAYNA was closed and now it’s lost. Try Sportsbike Shop who sell the right charger for £20 less

It is easy to use and offers well needed options. I phoned the company to find out how to use it, mind. After reading the manual twice, I still wasn't sure. Just plug it in! It's that simple. I can't say about the quality yet obviously. Might come back next year to tell. Update January 2023: it has been keeping my motobike's battery healthy over winter since I purchased it in 2018. Excellent product.

Returning from a business trip, I found my bike battery totally drained. It was so flat I couldn't use the BMW din socket. It was easy to attach to the battery and in the morning everything was up and running. I will use it often as a trickle charger due to me working in the EU more than UK.

Simple perfect. No need to take battery down from bike. Keeps battery ready after long period. Maintain battery to stay in good condition for years. Small practical dual voltage. Simple to use.
