Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Re: Can the GS-911 get the OEM horn on a BMW 1250 RT-P to work with the horn button

« Last post by K166Matt1250 RT-P on June 21, 2025, 06:56:33 AM »

Hi Ruan,

I needed to have the horn working to ensure the bike is able to be registered.  I took it to a local workshop and they have updated the bikes software.  Apparently this is what is required and its a common modification on ex-Police bikes.

Prior to taking it to the bikeshop I downloaded a full autoscan.  I'll send that through along with a post modification autoscan to help you track any changes.  If it leads to modification of the software on the 911 I'm sure it'll be a feature that would help someone who also has an ex-Police motorcycle.

Thanks Matt

GS-911 / Re: ESA calibration

« Last post by mathiasslo on June 19, 2025, 02:21:10 PM »

Yes there was a change. Old strut 33 53 76 75 105 has 3 lines for the spring adjuster and the new one 33 5377 11 074 has only two wires. I have a book with the wiring diagram and there are also 3 wires. It looks like a resistant an contact number 45, 57, 58 on ZFE. I cheked the conatcts, the resistant of the spring adjuster everything OK. Than i try to calibrate the ESA via GS 911 WIFI, and i get the message Rear ESA sensor problem.

Yes i have now the old one on the bike (33 53 76 75 105). I tryed also on another bike the calibration and it works fine. What is also interesting, that on my bike i dont see the position and max position of ESA. Both values are 0. On the other bike i saw immedeatly the values. Normal postion 30 and max. 975.

I will replace now preload part from the new one to old one, because here (old one) is the rebound motor OK and another try with the calibration.

GS-911 / Re: Switch between Lever type and Film type fuel sensors

I can close this help request.
It was my fault, i think. Bad manipulation of the software i think.
But it worked.....   so far so good.

Also watching this. Did the swap from strip to lever with GS911 by doing the pin change and connecting a 41 Ohm (I think) resistor. Seems there are now more reliable strips available. Consider swopping back, provided this apparent gremlin is sorted.

on the other tool it only has manual selection of the bits you change...

for the big tank bikes (GSA) due to the size of the fuel load and the float mucking about - aside from the strip / lever change, there's another setting to enable - to actually switch off fuel level readings if the side stand is down...

I've had issues with GS911 hanging whilst doing stuff - need to escalate or they'll never know to investigate...  and make sure on long procedures you have battery support to keep volts up

GS-911 / Re: Fuel tank capacity question?

« Last post by botus on June 18, 2025, 04:09:19 PM »

is it not supposed to be the low fuel light illumination level...

but I agree at that rate 37 would be an odd one - the light on an air cooled GSA would be perm on ?

or... a post on a GS forum just posed the point after he fitted the big 37 litre tank from its original 20 litre one, his range is now all wrong.  And I guess because he has fitted the big tank, the bikes trip computer needs to know to do its maths on a larger volume of fuel... so maybe the settings you found is for that - but if you have a 24 litre tank why don't you have that setting ?

I checked the user manual for the K1300GT - you are correct it says

Usable fuel level approx 24 litre
Reserve level 4 litre

GS-911 / Re: Throttle valve 1 calibration: not completed

« Last post by botus on June 18, 2025, 04:04:44 PM »

have you got any further with this ?

I suggest till TV1 completes it will never move to TV2

on the other tool there is user interaction required to complete this procedure....  has on screen instructions - hold it open on full throttle for x time then slowly roll off the throttle, then OK, then key on off etc. for it to save settings

it doesn't go to 100% on most bikes - because its all about fiddling noise and fuel emissions - but can be well worth completing - I once got my k16 back and it was utterly gutless - either the dealer after a software update forgot to do it (likely) or these days deliberately set it slow (becoming normal dealer fun) it only gave 70% throttle - after I calibrated using tools at home it opened to 89% throttle and power output was transformed
