GS 911 Worth it???

Post by **Clayshooter08** » Wed Dec 25, 2024 4:01 pm

Ok, I just bought my first BMW and want to know if the investment into a GS 911 is worth the $400???
I have been looking at different service You Tube and other videos and that subject has come up. TIA!!!

Yes, a GS 911 was one of the first things I bought for diagnostics and resetting the service light. There are cheaper alternatives out there now though.

Unless you plan to have all your maintenance done by a BMW shop, you need one or a suitable knockoff.

And what are the cheaper alternatives that really work,any links or pointers.

Been looking at one of these, limited to just resetting service light...... would rather a cheaper version of a full reader....

It depends what you are going to do with it!

If you're just going to do a service light them look at cheaper alternatives

If you want to be able to read and clear error codes and more then get the gs-911

The GS911 is an excellent tool, compared to buying and running a BMW I think it’s good value!

Make sure that you get the right model for your bike. I'm getting this one for my K26 R1200RT-P: HEX ezCAN for BMW R1200. It's quite a bit less expensive than $400.

Given that we all have smartphones/pads/laptops nowadays, why isn't the software available to download and you just buy a suitable cable or wireless connector to suit your particular bike & device?

You could either buy the software outright, pay monthly, buy a fixed number of use or level of access. Given we can't all afford or want to have several hundred pounds worth of kit that's only used occasionally, I think the manufacturers are missing a big sales opportunity.

Gs-911 works on your mobile via a WiFi connection to the gs-911

This can be used anywhere in the world
