In my situation the brake was needed to be applied to hold the bike in place to stop it rolling down the incline. But released when I was trying to use reverse, pretty precarious to be honest. I've learnt perhaps that it will not best be relied upon for anything other than flat manoeuvring.
Thanks for the thread link, basically:
1) Even though it says R--any time it blinks, something else is stopping it from working
2) Can't have the kick stand down

Prior to (and partly during) the rain, I was giving the R18 some berries, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Now I appreciate she is a big...
Glad you brought this up, yet to use my Optimate on the R18 but swear by them on all my many bikes.
Question I had was whether the din power point near the reverse gear lever can be used to charge the battery with the appropriate plug and charger?
I did ask the dealer and they said yes, but I...
