BMW R1200 GS Canbus stops compressor working
Posted: Mon 14 Oct, 2019 5:49 am
Dear All,
Had the opportunity to assist another rider this am with a flat tyre.
When using the SLIME Air Compressor it tended to keep cutting out when load put on it to pump up the tyre. In end connected compressor with clips to the battery and all worked well.
When I checked the compressor out at home, all leads , connectors etc all ok.
However whilst checking Munich Spares for compressors etc ( I was thinking I might dump the SLIME) they mention that when load (amperage draw increases, the BMW CanBus will stop the circuit from working because of the load. Thus,if you can't get your compressor to work, consider connecting same direct to the battery. If you know this issue well and good, otherwise this may assist others when you have a flat and the damn pump is not working well.
Regards
Wes
