Can't reset service reminder on 2016 R1200RS

Lee · May 09, 2016, 01:57:16 AM

I had a yellow GS-911 and never had a problem, but when I tried to reset the service reminder today with my new red unit I received this error message" Negative response to controller"
I was connected to my netbook by USB when I tried. I did a fault scan to make sure it was communicating with the bike and that function worked.
My wife also has a 2016 R1200RS and the same thing happened with hers.
The service light is not on but we have a trip coming up in another week and wanted to make sure the yellow triangle did not come on during the trip.
With the older yellow unit I could reset the service reminder before it displayed on the dash.

Look on the http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911/function-chart to check and confirm Hexcode have implemented the function for that new model

It shows Yes under Service Reminder.

OK, I would suggest you lodge a support ticket with Hexcode, I reckon they would want to take a look into your problem

Lee · May 09, 2016, 06:18:47 AM

Do you have a link for that?

Do I have to answer Verification questions every time I post on this site?

The verification requirement goes away reasonably quickly once you have posted a few times

Thanks Wayne

I sent a Log to Hexcode and they replied back today asking to try a couple different custom mileage numbers.
I had already tied that but tried again and sent another Log.

Hexcode does seem fast to reply.

Yes they are good on support and looking at these problems, they will get to the bottom of it for you

Hexcode is still working on my problem without any luck.

Lee · May 16, 2016, 02:51:14 PM

I received a email from Hexcode this morning and it looks like I have a bad unit and needs to be replaced.
They said the SD card failed.

Hexcode and Twisted Throttle have been great with customer service.
Hexcode contacted Twisted Throttle first thing this morning to let them know I needed a replacement.
Early this morning I had several emails from Twisted Throttle and Genny. One email had a FedEx return label and they said they would overnight a new unit so I could take it on our trip tomorrow.
I emailed back that I did not have a FedEx office in our town or nearby. Pretty soon I get a phone call from Genny to get everything sorted out.
I decided to not have the new unit overnighted and have them ship it so it will arrive about the time we return home.

Good to hear Lee, thanks for letting us know it is the level of customer service I have seen from Hexcode and the resellers in the past, a pleasure to see

I just went to reset my service reminder on my R1200RS and had exactly the same problem. I just sent an e-mail to Hexcode with a screen dump of the error message. I find it hard to believe my unit is defective too, I suspect something the software in the unit. My s/n is 182 and I think that is a relatively early unit, what was your s/n?
