Idle Actuation Calibration - R1200 TwinCam Models

<< < (2/2)

ROBERTOJG:
Paul,

Thanks for picking this topic up. I think my bike may be ok which I will explain later. As I understand it only certain models were affected with the Idle Calibration problem. HexCode were asking affected people to contact them to see if a pattern was emerging about just which group of bikes were being affected.
I carried out a throttle body synch using a 'Carbtune' without using GS911 and everything worked out ok. I then did the same using the GS911 which as I understand parks the stepper motors up. Unbeknown to me when you start the synch using GS911 the first thing it did by default was calibrate the Idle Actuator prior to carrying out the synch procedure. This alarmed me somewhat as the engine began to run extremely rough for about 10 seconds then settled to a nice even tickover. So I think that my bike appears to be ok and not affected by this problem. All in all a great piece of kit which also carried out the ABS Bleed test as part of the brake fluid change.
Lastly I may ask the local BMW dealer about iLevel update to 510 from 500. Can't understand why they have not updated it at previous services. BMW must have a good reason for updating there software!

Many thanks again.

Rob.

Understanding iLevel is required here, it is the overall Integration level of all the ECU's in the machine as of the date specified

K024-12-02-500 = K024 Model Series 12-02 is 2012 Feb, 500 is version 500 release in 2012
K024-16-06-510 = K024 Model Series 16-06 is 2016 June, 510 is version 510 release in 2016

So it is far more than a simple increment in overall revision level of one ECU, there may well have been multiple revisions of multiple ECU's

ROBERTOJG:
Thanks for the update. My knowledge of the GS911 and the inner workings of my machine continue to grow.

Cheers.
