How do I... / Gear Shift Assist retrofit

« Last post by cbonnemayer on September 03, 2025, 07:37:46 PM »

Hi all,
Is it possible to retrofit and calibrate a Gear Shift Assist on a F750GS or F850 GS with a GS911 WiFi? One can obtain a second hand Gear Shift device itself for a reasonable price, but you have to reprogram the bike's computer.

Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Re: Lost partial display (Trip1, Trip 2, Odometer only show on startup)

Find someone with the same model bike and compare all the related settings looking for differences. Change the settings to match the known good bike.

Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Lost partial display (Trip1, Trip 2, Odometer only show on startup)

« Last post by frenchnew on August 31, 2025, 04:29:49 AM »

I am asking for some friends who are no fluent in English. The motorcycle is a 2011 BMW R1200RT.

While experimenting with the GS911 they deleted some display items in the GS911 options and lost part of the display. Pressing the info button does not display anything anymore. The TPMS reading are there, but no trip data is shown.  Is there any way to get back the original display setup, they did not do any backup.

Thank you

Robert Charron

R Series / Re: Sidestand Switch 1 & 2 & Calculated

Perhaps some thought should be considered to the difference between year models

The original side stand switch was a single pole single throw switch which changed the circuit supplying earth, the Part No between models changed with differences in cable length & connector to the harness, other starter lock outs were in play with diodes separating the circuits

Clearly on later models the individual lock outs, side stand/clutch/neutral, were moved to connection to an ECU & a firmware routine utilised to achieve a "calculated result" eliminating the diodes, circuit diagrams will provide the answers

My 2cents: is that BMW uses 2 position switch sensors to avoid in the case of a big bump the side stand move a bit and this provoking the engine to cut.

I don't think so.  Such a bump would probably result in both poles being open.  The calculated switch position would therefor be extended, and the engine would die.  I suspect is just another example of BMW over-engineering.

GS-911 / Fallo al cargar la pantalla SPORT

« Last post by Santi-bl on August 28, 2025, 05:33:42 PM »

Hola, soy nuevo en el foro y me gustaría presentarme  mi nombre es Santi.

Mi problema es que al intentar poner la pantalla de inicio de mi GS 1250 con el logo de "M" ya no me sale en la pantalla ninguna información, ni el n. de velocidades, ni la información de los botones de las piñas, etc. Tampoco puedo acceder al menú de "MI VEHICULO", Tampoco me detecta el GPS, en definitiva, solo me sale una pantalla muy básica.

He mirado todo lo que se me ocurre, y no se como arreglarlo, también decir que no hice una copia de seguridad de la pantalla original, por lo cual no me restaura como su estado original

ALGUIEN QUE ME ECHE UNA MANO???

Gracias

Thanks for the reply, I feel a bit stupid
It’s kind of obvious now, but for some reason I didn’t think of that as I already had chosed bike model.
