Bleed function available for K1200s with integral brakes?

[dballari@gmail.com]

I went into service function menu on the gs911 to initiate the abs bleed cycle/service - I could not find that service listed on the k1200s - is it now available?

what age is the bike ?

it was only after the third iteration of BMW anti-lock brakes they became normal and worth bothering with, sharing the same module as most cars use - although the article below suggest the third iteration was really the fourth (which is news to me...)

either way they made a hideous mess up of naming conventions - which puts the entire BM biker world in a muddle up

if its anything other than integral-ABSII  just chuck it in a skip where it belongs.   later K1200's got updates circa 2005 and I believe were some of the earliest BMW ABS2 bikes made - the R1200GS got it late 2006 for MY2007

if yours is a K40 - K44 ABS2 bike - all the bleed options should be there - which software version is your tool running and do you have a RED GS911 tool ?

this link discusses how to fiddle with the disastrous early ABS rubbish (and his ABS2 is not actually "ABS2" as fitted to ALL K1300s but the second (but he calls third) version of utter rubbish BMW peddled on early K1200s from 2002 to 2004)
