F650GS Single Spark 2002

(1/3) > >>

Paul Hoffmann:
I recently acquired a 2002 F650GS single spark without ABS
I am using a 2nd generation USB 911 with a connecting cable purchased from Hexcode, running the 911 on my pc laptop running windows 10.
When I select my model I get a strange message:

Failed to read controller info: no response from controller, check that the: ignition is on, kill switch in run position, neutral selected and immobilizer deactivated if fitted  - do you wish to continue?  Press yes if you do.

I have ignition on, kill switch is in run, neutral selected and no immobilizer.  I press yes and get the normal screen showing Engine, ABS and Autoscan on the left hand side but I do not have ABS on this bike.

When selecting Engine it seems to show all the options I expect and when selecting ABS I get no info received from the controller this seems correct as no ABS is fitted.

When running an Autoscan I get some strange results, Autoscan below:

What confuses me here is the VIN number is not correct, mileage not available?
The ECU id (Vin) shown is correct from my Vin number
The  Vin model year is 2001 while my bike is a 2002 model.
I have checked the Vin plate against the stamped number and they match also it matches with my registration document (V5C in the UK).

Sorry if this post is a bit garbled but I hope someone can help me start to make sense of it.

Cheers

Putting the last seven digits of your VIN into a parts list site, gives a manufacture date of October 2000, which would make it a 2001 model year. The BMW model year starts after the summer break not in January.

Paul Hoffmann:
Thanks for the reply Mike.
I say it is a 2002 bike because the age identifier on my UK plate is 02.
What seven digits did you use and can I ask where to find the parts list site?
Am I correct in assuming the seven digits you used are the same as for the ECU id.

P.S. just put the ECU id 7 digits into Realoem and it gives me a production date of January 2002 which seems correct for my plate.

Hi Paul,

I used a similar site (MAXBMW) and used the last seven digits of the bike VIN, which starts with WB, not the ECU VIN

The bike VIN should be as on your V5C (I'm in the UK as well).

Mike

Paul Hoffmann:
The vin starting with WB is not the correct one while the ECU id is correct for my bike.
The vin plate on the bike is the same as the stamped number on the headstock and also on my V5C.
