Hi

New beta 1309 version does recognize ESA on my K1200R 2006 model.
What's Up??

Thanks

same for me, calibration not available on my k1200gt 2007
what's the problem ?

MikeSF:
The GS-911 only works on ESA II that has Hall Effect position sensors. I am not sure when these were introduced but believe it was approx 2009. Hex have known for years that the older ESA I units with potentiometer position sensors cannot be calibrated and recently I was advised by Hex support that they have not managed to get a bike to work on a solution to the problem. It's a real pain as many of us with old ESA units are left stranded. Having said that, there is a post whereby somebody has managed to use the GS-911 on an ESA I bike and "fooled" it into running the calibration routine. I got someone to do this on my 2006 K1200R on which the only thing that did not work was the preload adjustment and after trying I had totally lost all ESA functionality. No icons in the display whatsoever. I ended taking the bike to a BMW dealer and even they could not calibrate the preload adjuster. I ended up leaving the bike without ESA functionality. Not happy.

Old goat:
I had exactly the same experience as MikeSF on my 2005 R1200RT, including the BMW dealer involvement. I've since fitted a pair of non-ESA suspension units and I must say that I am completely satisfied with this.
