Thank you  8) especially for the hours you have been dedicating to help me get this sorted. The more heads that look at this the more likely we are to find the solution.

Update

A second hand ZFE turned up today - it has solved all of the issues except the ABS not running. However I think I know why this is happening now. If you look at the screen shot below it shows the difference between the factory and the actual I-Levels. I am guessing that the 04 and 09 refer to respective years. The ABS system on mine is the same as the old R1150RT and I am almost certain that BMW went to a new system around 2009. So I suspect that the only reason the ABSisnt responding now is because the software in the new ZFE is for a different system.

The bike is going to my local BMW dealership this afternoon to have the ZFE recoded fingers crossed that will solve the problem entirely.

Well that is good news, pleased to hear there is progress, the ABS coding does seem logical to me

mike d:
Nearly there!

The factory level is from when the bike was first released, and the actual is updated whenever the bike has had a new software revision. The ZFE may well have been from an earlier bike, but had an update in 2009.

Good luck at the dealers.


Mike

I cant see the pic and info with the actual iLevels, if I was able to see it I could perhaps look up the dates etc for you  ;D
