BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I know not everyone will have a GS-911, so would like to help other members if i can.

I see people are charging a fee to reset any fault codes on your BMW MotorRad (£25+).
So i would like to offer my help for free to read and reset any fault codes.
If you live near South Wales, and come to me, i will reset your fault codes for you.
And if the fault code comes back after the reset you know you need to get the problem sorted.
I have found that a low battery or disconneting a part can give some fault codes as well.
I wont do the service reset as it uses one of the 10 VIN's you get with the GS-911

This is a Free offer to members on here in the South Wales or near area who come to me.

I can only do the newer bikes with the OBD2 port and not the old round type. Sorry.....

I thought that a fault code reset also used a vin too?

No you can reset the fault codes without the VIN.
Its when you need to do a spectfic item for that bike like a service reset you need the VIN.
You need to have internet access and log in. if you dont have internet access you cant access the service reset.

Just had a look

You're right! For some reason I had it in my head you had to register the vin for everything!

I may off my services to my mates for a fee

Everything cost so much these days, So why not offer a little help for free.

You know what would be good,
if we could get members from all areas who have a GS-911 who could help other members out.

A fee years ago you could plot members on a map which was built in to the forum software which would have helped with this!

Also i can do the fault codes from my phone over wifi.
But to do anything else i have to use my laptop via USB so my wifi is clear to login.
