Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Re: HELP - Mileage discrepancy...

Last post by botus - May 07, 2026, 09:27:44 AM

across the entire motor industry its normally possible using dealer kit to wind cluster mileage forwards - but backwards is not possible - and going to max mileage and hoping to rollover to zero and then winding forwards is also locked out 

the winding forward feature is to allow a new cluster to match the vehicle's actual mileage - (if the cluster has the correct VIN in there now, a helpful dealer might be able to help)

Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Re: Quickshifter

Last post by botus - May 07, 2026, 09:13:30 AM

So I'm currently trying to diagnose a problem with my 2020 BMW 1250 GSA quickshifter.

The gear selector locks during a downshift....intermittently.

The ECU takes its info for a downshift from the throttle twist grip sensor, the rear wheel speed sensor and the load applied to the shift assistant pro module, to cut the load to the gearbox.

I've done a wiggle test on the wiring going to the throttle unit. When wiggling the wire and the connector and moving the handlebars full lock in both directions, the twist grip position on the live values shows a reading. But only between 0.02 and 0.65%. That's only wiggling the wire and not touching the throttle.

Is this enough to cause a problem with sending a zero, "the throttle is at idle" message to the ECU and is it likely to be the throttle unit or the connector.

Cheers...JB

there is a TIPS doc for the USA market stating the pins may not be clipped in the pin bush housing on the multiplug connector for the twist grip - affects most models across quite a few years, and is due to nasty build quality of the loom

if you check that - don't forget to recalibrate the grip and the throttle body

wiring breaks on the actual shift assit gadget on the gear linkage is normal as the miles pick up (anywhere from 7 to 15 K miles dead shift assist is normal on a BMW

locked out rider modes

run the VIN through a suitable chassis decode tool, you are looking to see if built with - Rider Modes Pro   https://bimmer.work/
if its not shown on the VO then you'll need to pay to get it enabled

the other madness that catches people out - if you have 5 or more rider modes, the useless TFT display's ant brain can't cope - you have to disable one of the four displaying, to be able to switch on one of the others

as for enabling toys that were not on at build via third party tools - this has come to an end on late model year bikes, Sept 2024 or later built bikes have secure gateway access making everything game over

General Discussion / Re: Thank you all, HEX Code

Understood Schuppi, I did not mean for my post to be taken as negative toward you, I'm sorry if it came across that way and I apologize.

All these garbage posts are very frustrating and clog up the forum something terrible.

I counted the posts since you first "congratulated" Hex (march 17?) and there have been 40 russian and 17 other out of about 100 total posts. That is not good to put it mildly. Hopefully they will soon do something....anything to rectify the situation.

It would be nice for Hex to weigh in on this.

 Thanks for the reply, it is greatly appreciated. The issue I'm having is I don't even know what or if it has this RPM limiter and if it is a function that the 911 can resolve. Truthfully the dealer is pretty bad and not providing me with any info other than if you skip doing factory checkups it will be bad. I've dealt with many dealerships in my day and this one is near the bottom. Hopefully I can find someone with the same generation of bike to clear this up.

edit: digging deeper into the engine module I read and wonder if this is what I am looking for.

Hello Jack
I think that should all be doable.

Take a look here.

Hello Jim

My posts in the various sections
are only meant to be a hint regarding HEX code.

I hope that an administrator will read along and give it some thought.

My messages to HEX have also gone unanswered.
