GS-911 Wifi / Re: Bike won't start - No fault codes!

« Last post by Borgia on May 16, 2024, 10:49:35 PM »

No idea John would let you know if I come across.

Can anyone post live values for their F750 or F850 for me to compare please.  Would be of great help, Thanks a lot!

Clutch switch 1 prevents the bike from starting in gear unless the clutch is disengaged.

Clutch switch 2 kills the cruise control if the clutch is pulled in even a small amount so as to prevent the engine from over-reving.

Thanks for the tip, the servo eliminator does look like the better option. I'm just trying to figure out if my USA 2016 RT is Euro 3 or 4 compliant.

Yes the EU3/4 aspect crossed my mind as well, not sure how to work that out, VIN Decode or GS911 Autoscan are possibilities, Vehicle Order in Autoscan seems the most likely to have the answer

I've just learned that it's Euro 3 (from the BMWMOA wethead forum), but it's a moot point, as tech support from HealTech responded to my question with "all BMWs use the same ESE-BM1 unit".

More to come on this topic...

Hi Sayeed,

Thanks for the info re Clutch switches, I don't suppose you have now found what their functions are? I'm trying to see exactly how Hill Start Control works on my 1250GS and wondered if one of these switches might be involved in that.

Thanks John.  Tried that too.  Some of the fault codes on Telematic unit were reappearing, checked all connectors and cleaned on Hexcode advice. 

Learnt that clutch has 2 switches and both sits on left hand lever and this is how they operate. 

Clutch left hand Lever  Not pulled            Slightly pulled     Fully pulled
Switch 2                      Actuated              Not actuated      Not actuated
Switch 1                      Not actuated        Not actuated      Actuated

In short Switch 2 is normally actuated.

remyredjo, did you figure out what was causing the negative response on the switching cam test? I’m having the same result on my 2019 R1250GSA. Have you had any problems with the bike since the incident?

I'm considering a servo buddy. Here is a short and shakey video of the servo on my bike after today's redux of cleaning and lubing the shaft that's under the spring.

The servo has movement, but the GS-911 still gives an error, and is unable to actuate the flap.

GS911 is simply calling up the routine in the bike ECU firmware to operate the servo & the ECU is unable to fully open it so it would seem time to replace the servo or eliminate it

I can understand the thought of eliminating the servo & fooling the ECU that it is there & operating, we do the same on US F650GS singles with a fuel tank vent actuator which only takes a rather low cost resistor.

The ECU is reporting the servo position so I would expect more than a resistor would be needed to stop all fault codes, the Servo Buddy seems a little expensive & I would want to know far more than I can see online in terms of what you get for the $US70 price tag

The Servo Eliminator is a little more forthcoming on what is in the product
