HELP - Mileage discrepancy!

[Jughead]

Hi

I have a bike in the shop at the moment with the following error:

37685 - Discrepancy in values of total mileage between BMS-KP and KOMBI (instrument cluster)
The fault is currently present.

Anyone know of a way to dump the mileage from the BMS to the KOMBI?

The client removed the headlight/instruments on his 2008 GSA as the headlight was loose.  Found the broken grommet, so hopped on the bike and dashed into town to get a new one without the headlight/instrument cluster connected.

Now that he has reconnected it all, the mileage flashes constantly and the above error is recorded.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi
 The values for the total distance ridden stored in the DME and instrument cluster deviate from each other.
 If there is a difference of more than 100 km between the odometer reading in the instrument cluster and the odometer reading in the DME, a fault entry is stored.
If control units were replaced on a trial basis, the original control units must be reinstalled. If control units were replaced, the replacement process may not have been correctly completed . It is necessary to carry out an adjustment of the total distance ridden of both control units. There is no control unit fault.

Thanks for the reply Schuppi.

I understand all that and agree.

My question is "How do I match up the mileages and get rid of the error?"  Somehow I need to write the DME mileage to the KOMBI in order to clear the fault.

Hello
At my knowledge, it must be done online by BMW workshop

You posted re your replacement of the dash in your first post, in that post you did not state whether the replacement dash ws new from BMW or a used dash from from another bike

A new dash would require programming by a BMW dealer to the correct firmware & VIN to match your iLevel, GS911 cannot  do programming, it does diagnostics & coding

A used dash is programmed for the VIN & Model/VIN of the bike it came from and ODO values in it would not match the backup ODO values in your bike, it is not normally possible to integrate a used dash into another bike with either the BMW dealer system or GS911

So, there is no way to fix it even at a BMW dealer?

I had an accident, and this is how I was able to fix it. There was no dealer here, as I live on an island, and I had to do all fixes myself.
Recently, a BMW Motorrad dealer opened here, and I asked them if they could fix it and without even seeing the issue themselves, they said 80€ just to analyse if any fix is possible. I felt that very wrong.... I would gladly pay the 80€ for a fix, not for checking if it is possible. Buying a new one and programming is too expensive for me, unfortunately.

You still have not stated if the rplacement dash you fitted was a bew dash or a used dash, without stating which it is it is not really possible to comment further on whether the ODO mismatch issue can be resolved

Sorry, I did not understand.

At the time I bought a second hand replacement.
One with the exact same model and I think same year.
My original one had more than 60000kms and the replacement had around 11000kms.

During the accident, the speedometer jumped out of the motorcycle and the tow truck did not bring it along.

Understood, failure to ensure the dash was recovered was a big mistake, I doubt you will be able to overcome the ODO mismatch error & a new dash from BMW will cost a lot of money

I have been repairing F800GS/R1200R dashes for a few years, they are CAN-Kombi-K7 & the F700 dash looks to be the same but I have not looked at an F700 dash or the ECU's for the F700, seeing an autoscan & the VO details for both the dash you fitted & the bike would be useful, take a look with GS911 & for a save/print of the info
