GS-911 / Re: BMW r1250GS/A Daytime Running Light EU vs USA

« Last post by botus on June 27, 2025, 08:43:08 PM »

its intriguing you are saying things aren't as bright now,

on the cars it was always USA spec BMW cars that had deliberately dim headlights for the USA market - you can code them to euro spec and they get much brighter on the E89 models (1995 to 2011 3 series) and I expect all the others too

I can see maybe there are brightness issues for DRL that might differ between various markets and likely the same limitations could exist on spot lights...
may be they are now fog lights rather than aux driving lights - fogs are meant to light the road just in front to look under the fog - rather than flare up and blind you like driving lights would in heavy fog

GS-911 Wifi / instance already running

« Last post by handensco on June 25, 2025, 05:01:54 PM »

I have a gs911 and have noticed it for a year. I have a MacBook Pro. When I click on the GS911 icon it says "Another instance of gs911 Utility is already running in the system tray. Application will exit." How do I get past this or where in my MacBook Pro is the system tray. I am not real computer savy so any help is great. I was thinking of loading it onto my iPad 10 but Ineed to get past this on my MacBook Pro.
thanks

R1200 models / Excess Fuel Usage

« Last post by timcorr on June 25, 2025, 01:19:55 PM »

Hi,
Recently I carried out a service R1200S and did a throttle body calibration via the gs-911 and now my fuel usage has gone bad. Down 5km to the litre. Any ideas what to look for? Still very new to the gs-911.

Now this could just be a coincidence but since installing and activating the EU daytime running lights I've noticed a couple of odds things:

1.  When I first made the change the TFT showed a new white icon on the bottom for this new DRL mode.  I still had only 1 green icon on the left side which is for the OEM LED fog/driving lights.  I've recently noticed a second green icon immediately above the LED one which I believe is also for the DRL?  If so, I wonder why it didn't show for about a week?

2.  The X pattern of this DRL is not as bright as the NA/CDN model, specifically the two horizontal LED lines on the NA/CDN mode

3.  The OEM LED fog/driving lights are not as bright as they were.

Anyone else notice any of these changes?

Thanks...

Yes I believe you must be "riding" or they would shut off while sitting waiting for traffick to clear/light to change etc. I have been using the comfort setting for a while and like it. The over 100 kph, cancel on accell and other nuances seem well thought out. Not sure if all that is available on your bike though.

GS-911 / Re: low battery leading to no use of GS911

« Last post by asellus on June 24, 2025, 08:42:51 PM »

my 2024 S1000XR will chill around 12.4v with the ignition on, engine off.  I usually hook up a 5amp charger to it while I'm using the GS-911 for anything more than a few minutes, as the battery will eventually drop to 12.3 or so which seems to trigger the GS-911's safety.

such is the downside of modern bikes with tons of electronics.

GS-911 / Configuration

« Last post by SILVERBACK TOURS on June 24, 2025, 04:51:43 PM »

Hi
I have set the self cancelling indicators to off on my 2012 gsa.
I have tried to reintroduce it auto cancel.
When I “apply” changes the lights flash to register the change but no change has been made.
An I missing something?
Does the self cancel only work when riding not stationery?
Thanks

The SPAM regarding the dark web is as a result of Govts taking down a couple of the largest dark web criminal sites & now the there are attempts to set up new dark web sites, quite a bit of info on it in the specialist IT press

The thought to delete/disable Russian language came to mind over the last week

Hi Both

It's really an uphill battle, we've changed the ability to post to wait approval of your user last week, but after approving a small batch of users, some bots made it through.

At this point we're considering actually not allowing new signups until that person logs a support ticket, because just one bot (of the 4 that caused havok over the weekend) posted 89 posts. The other 76. It's difficult for us to maintain at all times due to our other obligations, but we've cleaned everything up again.


We're looking at ways to make this better, and we do apologise for the spam - know that it pains us as well!

Kind regards
Ruan

I agree. This has gotten out of hand, there must be something that admin can do, they are all first posts so they need to screen first posts. This has been going on for a while and getting worst. Admin? Any comments?
