Welcome along! Great choice of bike :cheesy:

I've had an Oxford "Oximiser 900" for a while now. Used on previous bikes too. Never had an issue.

In truth, you're more likely to kill your battery optimiser than the GTR electrics - starting the bike with the optimiser plugged in, for example. But a decent optimiser will have inbuilt protection.

Cheers

optimate is a good choice, well proven and won't damage the GTRs electronics   :yes:
