BMW R1200 R gone haywire!

I got a secondhand BMW R1200 R that covered almost 20,000 miles before purchase. I've only taken it for about 4,000 miles when I got flooded with a lot of issues!

I got error warnings for anti-lock braking system, traction control, suspension strut. My speedometer and dash blacked out after a long time of flickering! My bike has gone haywire I don't think it's just a battery problem?

Anyone had the same issues, like all at the same time? Which things should I check first before taking it to a shop?

Oh shoot, that sounds like a headache! looks like it's more than just the battery.
you need to check the battery terminals, just Make sure they're clean and tight. the fuses, or the ABS sensors. it could be an electrical issue. good luck, man!
 
It could be anything, electrical connections, fuses, or even sensors causing those issues...check the wiring and look for any fault codes first
