GS-911 / News Item on Forum Home Page

Last post by karlh - March 31, 2026, 06:41:24 AM

The news item in the upper right of the forum home page still links to the January 2025 GS-911 update, even though there have been three updates since, including the newest for March 2026.

GS-911 Wifi / Re: "Ignition is not ON" error...

Last post by botus - March 29, 2026, 04:28:08 PM

surprised you can get anything with the key off

you never work on any vehicle key off - always key on for all functions on the GS911

the issues you say where it goes off on the corner of the GS911 display is wrong

might as a well double check your device is fully updated - they frequently change stuff and add features / remove bugs

https://www.hexgs911.com/news/   March 2026 release just came out - v2603.5 for general release from 31 march


next I would ensure the vehicle voltage is OK - add a battery charger to keep the bike happy

these electronics need a healthy stable voltage to behave correctly

GS-911 Wifi / "Ignition is not ON" error mes...

Last post by 03-K1200GT - March 26, 2026, 10:07:38 PM

On my GS-911 Wifi using Diagnostic Utility v2406.5
I can Autoscan, etc with the ignition off but when I try to connect to, say, "Vehicle Functions" this message is displayed:

"Error: Attempting to connect to this controller timed out.
Possible reasons:
Ignition is not ON
Kill switch not on RUN
Module is not fitted
Signal problem or faulty wiring"

I turn on the ignition.
The Ignition icon in the upper right corner changes to 'Ignition status: ON' for a few seconds and then reverts to 'Ignition status: OFF'.
I have gotten into this function before, albeit 2 years ago, and nothing has changed with the bike since then because the restoration work had stalled.

Anyone have a solution?
Is it required that the ignition must be on before I start up the Diagnostic Utility software?
I have not tested that. It doesn't seem to that would make sense because other functions seem to work with the ignition off.

Thank you,
CLA

Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Quickshifter

Last post by Jetboy15 - March 21, 2026, 07:41:58 PM

So I'm currently trying to diagnose a problem with my 2020 BMW 1250 GSA quickshifter.

The gear selector locks during a downshift....intermittently.

The ECU takes its info for a downshift from the throttle twist grip sensor, the rear wheel speed sensor and the load applied to the shift assistant pro module, to cut the load to the gearbox.

I've done a wiggle test on the wiring going to the throttle unit. When wiggling the wire and the connector and moving the handlebars full lock in both directions, the twist grip position on the live values shows a reading. But only between 0.02 and 0.65%. That's only wiggling the wire and not touching the throttle.

Is this enough to cause a problem with sending a zero, "the throttle is at idle" message to the ECU and is it likely to be the throttle unit or the connector.

Cheers...JB

Agree. This site used to be one of my first stops after starting the computer and enjoyed and learnt (and forgot) quite a lot.

However, it seems like with everything... the technology kept on developing from simple diagnostics, to more enabling more complex settings and customization. Seems the manufacturers now stepped in and not much can be done i.t,o. settings/additions on  the newer bikes?

Nevertheless, my GS911 downloaded real time values from my beloved 2010 Camhead RT this morning which I will analyse using Live Graph with a slightly limited short term memory at 75 years old.

Thank you and all the best to fellow GS911'ers.

ezCAN / 3 wired spot with an amber lig...

Last post by Vaughanza - March 15, 2026, 05:29:22 PM

Hi
I have a led spot light that have 3 wires and the 3rd wire is for the amber color of the light.

I have connected the lights using the 3 pin plug and in the software I selected the thee wire option however the amber light does not come on ?

Could suggest how to configure the lights so that I can have the amber light running aswell.
If I connect the 3rd wire to a separate circuit do I loose the option of switching the lights off with the wonder wheel and the ability to dim the lights

Any suggestions please
Thanke
