Evening All,
Following an RTC and the subsequent writing off of my Honda CBF1000, the replacement is a 2013 R1200GS Adventure, one of the last UK air cooled bikes before the LC's came out.
I've run the bike for a year and can honestly say I have fallen in love with the GSA to the point I have now decided to properly learn how to maintain it and service it...... hence buying the GS-911 wifi. My plans are long term with this bike.
I am comfortable doing the very basics, oil and filer changes, replacing brake pads but beyond that I am going to learn. I have the Haynes manual, have an attitude to learn and a willingness to try. Not quite sure HOW I'm going to learn but will find a way.
Need to learn the GS-911 too
Sounds like I'm applying for a job doesn't it ;D
I'm based in Leeds and spend a lot of time motorcycle touring, camping and wild camping.
Hullo one and all!
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Welcome.
Are you aware that the BMW Club UK have a couple of GS-911 tools (an early version for up to but not including the GS1200 LC models, and a WiFi for the LC and K1600 models).
They also have loads of BMW specialist tools , manuals etc.

Hi Mike,
Yes, I am aware, I joined last year though haven't been as active as I should.
Had a year learning the bike and this year will be taking a more active part in the Yorkshire Region :)
Are you THE Mike, the tool hire Secretary?

Hi Mark,
Yes I am the Tool Hire Secretary.
As a member, if you wish to try before you buy, then it doesn't cost much to hire the GS-911 from the Club.

Already.bought one though I'm beginning to think that it is waaaaaay beyond my knowledge and skills

There's quite a bit on info on the hexcode site to help you get the most from the GS-911.
Being menu driven it is easy to navigate. When you've played with it a few times, you will become more proficient.
