Poor engine performance - 2011 R1200GS

<< < (2/3) > >>

Update:

The owner, my riding buddy, and I decided the best course of action was to take the bike into the dealer and have them hook it up to the factory diagnostic machine. And this happened:

First off, we last worked on it Tuesday night and twice the bike acted up as it had before. We did the TPS re-set 3 times, and the engine purred along fine, then as soon as it was ridden (2nd to 3 gear) it started backfiring stumbling and dying each time. After the last time we loaded it up on the trailer and he took it the next morning to the shop, however he didn't start it and show them what we know to be its performance (or lack of) from the night before. The only thing we did was add non-ethanol premium fuel, but the performance hadn't changed.

The dealer called him today and reported that there is nothing wrong with his bike, nothing wrong...

He reports that they hooked up the bike to their computer (we don't know if they tried running the bike before or not) and the only code was an O2 sensor. This code was not there before taking it into the shop (from our last GS911 reading). The tech ran the diagnostic program and said the bike tested fine. He took it out for a ride and it rode well. He let it sit and cool off and then went out on another ride, nothing malfunctioned.

The owner asked them if they were sure they were testing the right bike! He then asked if there was a possible software update that they downloaded to the bike. The service manager reported that the updates are automatically downloaded now, therefore he was not able to tell the owner if anything might have been updated to the bike and "fixed" anything.

We are both more perplexed than before. We will go on some rides and see what happens. In the meantime we will hook up the GS911 and see if any of the reading are different and post them here. I do have a couple questions:


* How can I convert the .csv file to an Excel document so it can be easily read?
Is the latest software version listed on the Auto Scan?
Thank you for reading.

Paul Hoffmann:
I have a 2012 1200GS and had the firmware updated in August this year.
The report from the dealer listed the update as K024-16.06-510.
After doing the latest update I now have unknown I levels on the autoscan and am waiting for a reply from Kobus at Hexcode about the unknown I level issue.

Extract from my latest autoscan:
Factory I-Level:   K024-12-02-500
Actual I-Level:   Unknown I-Level:0x92

As far as I understand the two lines above from the autoscan show the initial firmware version and the latest version.
This update also cured the known issue as listed on the hexcode website.
If I am incorrect in my reply above I am sure someone will be along to correct me!

Hope this is of some help
Paul

Try opening the file.

Excel should recognise it as having comma separated values and present you with a guide for importing the data.

ErnieA:
I'll have to research the .csv file and Excel. When I open it up everything is jumbled and almost unusable. When you open my file posted above does it appear when the rows and columns come out "normal" to you? To me all of the data is crammed into one cell.

Thanks for your patience.
