Daddoz777 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is there an existing thread that can tell me how to reset my service light ('16 RT)? Or is a GS911 or dealer visit the only way? Link to comment
92Merc Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 GS911/dealer is currently the only way. Unless you have a good buddy with a GS911. Link to comment
Ralphie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I use the GS911 and it has been useful for me. Especially now that the service light comes on based on the time between services in addition to mileage. There is some discussion over in the K1600 forum about a low cost option. It sounds like a few guys have purchased an inexpensive interface cable and some inexpensive software which allows them to reset the service light on the big K bikes without the GS911 expense. Take a peek at that thread here: http://www.k1600forum.com/forum/bmw-k1600-general-discussions/142609-reset-service-codes-diagnose-bike-free.html. I trust tried and true methods like the GS911 but these folks seem to have figured out a much less expensive way to reset service codes and maybe more. Link to comment
LAF Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 If anyone needs the reset and is in my area I will reset it for you. No worries. Link to comment
Artee Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 is that area Calgary by any chance? Link to comment
Daddoz777 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 What might be the possibility of a "travelling" GS911? And why are those things so friggin' expensive? Link to comment
92Merc Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The GS911 wifi comes in 2 versions. The enthusiast version is limited to 10 VIN numbers. So we'd have to get the pro version with unlimited VINs. $399 vs $749. Link to comment
Ralphie Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Take a peek at what these guys are finding here: http://www.k1600forum.com/forum/bmw-k1600-maintenance-do-yourself/143058-reset-service-light-unlimited-bikes-less-then-%24130.html. It appears some have indeed found a way to reset the service light on the K1600's for about $130. Link to comment
tallman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 10 guys split the GS 911 costs. Heck, even 5 guys and you're under the $130 number for the super dooper version and then ahve it available instead of just a rest option. Reasonable. Like a tire changer. Just takes some coordination and effort, reduce costs, increase ROI. .02 Best wishes. Link to comment
