Ken H. Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 On my R1200GS, on the way to work this morning the little yellow triangle and the engine icon came on. Bike seemed to continue to run fine, nothing on my volt gauge or the temp gauge changed. No new noises, etc. When I got home tonight I put my new handy-dandy GS-911 diagnostic reader on it. Showed fault code "Defective Cam Position Sensor". So I poked around the sensor, pulled its connector apart. Low and behold it had water in it. Been riding to/from work in the rain most of the week. Blew it out, lubed its seal with some dielectric grease, and snapped it back together. I then cleared the code with the GS-911, fired the bike back up and ta-da! Light out, icon gone. That GS-911 is just the handiest little thing. Otherwise I would have been facing a 180 miles each way ride to the dealer! Link to comment
KDeline Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Would you recommend a potential buyer to wait for the upgrade they talk about or run right out and get one? Link to comment
1analguy Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 And, either way, where do you get one...and who makes it? Link to comment
ScottT Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Do a search in google for GS-911 and you'll find the website. I got mine in January. Very nice tool to have on hand. Saved Ken H. a trip to the dealer. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Would you recommend a potential buyer to wait for the upgrade they talk about or run right out and get one? The first year after purchase includes all the upgrades, so I wouldn't let that stop you. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 where do you get one...and who makes it? Hex Diagnostics - GS-911 Link to comment
LGannon Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Has anyone used one of these on an RT? the software and GUI seem to be all related to the GS series, I know its called a GS-911 but they do say it works with other bikes anyone buy one? Link to comment
Ken H. Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Stephen would be better one to answer this than me, but it seems the only major difference would be the alarm sytem and the ESA. Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Great tool, isn't it? I have access to one from a friend, and may get my own soon. Nice and easy to use. Jim Link to comment
