The servo has movement, but the GS-911 still gives an error, and is unable to actuate the flap.

GS911 is simply calling up the routine in the bike ECU firmware to operate the servo & the ECU is unable to fully open it so it would seem time to replace the servo or eliminate it

I can understand the thought of eliminating the servo & fooling the ECU that it is there & operating, we do the same on US F650GS singles with a fuel tank vent actuator which only takes a rather low cost resistor.

The ECU is reporting the servo position so I would expect more than a resistor would be needed to stop all fault codes, the Servo Buddy seems a little expensive & I would want to know far more than I can see online in terms of what you get for the $US70 price tag

The Servo Eliminator is a little more forthcoming on what is in the product

Thanks for the tip, the servo eliminator does look like the better option. I'm just trying to figure out if my USA 2016 RT is Euro 3 or 4 compliant.

Yes the EU3/4 aspect crossed my mind as well, not sure how to work that out, VIN Decode or GS911 Autoscan are possibilities, Vehicle Order in Autoscan seems the most likely to have the answer

I've just learned that it's Euro 3 (from the BMWMOA wethead forum), but it's a moot point, as tech support from HealTech responded to my question with "all BMWs use the same ESE-BM1 unit".

More to come on this topic...

Servoectomy successfully completed this morning. No more error codes
