Service light

Post by ald71 »

Hi,
Does anyone, in the UK, have any idea how much a dealer might charge to reset your service light ?

Sorry no idea!

I have heard stories of them refusing unless they service it!

Maybe try and find an independent specialist or someone with unlimited gs-911 or motoscan

Sorry to say, but ebay is the best place to find some one to reset the service light.

The minimum service a BMW dealer will do is an oil & filter change which should include a service light reset.

The WorkShop at York will do it for £35 + VAT https://www.theworkshopyork.com/our-services

but you'll have to be quick, they are closing on 1st April 2024, https://www.theworkshopyork.com/

Get one of these....

https://www.motoscan.de/

I did & it saves me a lot of hassle, does the suspension calibration too.
Vini, Vidi, Velcro....... I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Don't know if it will work on the RT but on my old K1600 you could set the date on the clock back a year and it went out. It's worth a try and it's free ;)

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies. I was interested to learn how long it might take to recover the outlay for UniCarScan UCSI-2100 and MotoScan Ultimate.
Resetting the service reminder, to my preference, was easy. There are lots of other settings that look like I need to leave alone !
One problem is in the instrument cluster (KOMBI) settings under coding, there are no parameters listed, just a blank page so you can not reset
anything ! Anyone else have this setup ? My bike is a 2020 1250 RT LE K52 OJ61
