    Hi guys, I'm thinking of setting up a solar charger for my K110rs when not in use. On other bikes I've owned I just make a connection to the two battery posts with a shroud connector to the panel which seems to work just fine. Just wondering if it may be easier to input the panel through the Hella plug, anyone tried this? Pretty certain I won't bow anything, but your thoughts would be appreciated.

    I haven't tried it on a K110RS, but did it for a few years on an R1100RT. No problems. A small solar panel on the roof, cable and plug hanging down from the ceiling ready to plug in when the bike was parked.Only later, CANbus models, present a problem with charging through the accessory socket. The socket switches off within a minute or so after the bike is switched off.Oh, and welcome to the forum.
