Re: Can you suggest a code reader

Hello

With a decent OBDII reader and an Android phone with the Paid version of the Motoscan app you can do some basics like resetting the service warning.

Look at this link https://obdlink.nl/en/obd-apps/motoscan


The GS9 11 is far superior but as you mentioend expensive.

Re: Throttle Response Adjustment on 1250RT
