Looks like a good fix, Lost mine on my first serious trip, about 2 months after getting my bike from a BMW dealer. So went back to BMW and complained, they wanted me to put in a claim with my insurance for just over R20 000! So they wouldn't have to replace at their cost. Thankfully I convinced...

Dankie Ysterman, goed gedoen! I can report that the battery was completely dry!!! Even after I was told it had been serviced and charged!??? So however difficult it is on the Dakar, check your battery as regulary as possible, because she don't go anywhere when the battery is dead!
