RT_Jim Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've done a search of the forum but can't find anything.... I just finished my 6000 mile service and want to reset the indicator in my RID..... is there any way to do that? thanks! Jim Link to comment
Huzband Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Asked the service manager that question yesterday. In a word, the answer is "no". I didn't ask how much he would charge to do it for me. Link to comment
BeemerLover Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Put a piece of tape over the service light. You might be able to find some that matches the background. Gael Link to comment

smiller Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 is there any way to do that? Why in the world would BMW allow a mere owner to reset the service light? Link to comment
Limecreek Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 "Resetting the indicator: Once the maintenance work due for a given service has been completed, the mechanic uses the GT1 to reset the indicator." That is the offical word, but I am sure there must be another way. We need someone to go out and try a combination of things until they can get into the reset level and then share it with the the group. What happens if you hold the ODO reset down and turn on the key for instance? Link to comment
marcopolo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Some people have suggested that the folk who manufacture the GS-911 code reader were working on an update that would allow it to be used to reset the service indicator. I have no idea whether that's true, or not, but you could always ask. Link to comment
Huzband Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I was wondering about the GS-911 but, not having one yet, didn't know. Hopefully an owner of such device will clue us in. Link to comment
ScottT Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hopefully an owner of such device will clue us in.I have been a GS-911 owner for almost two years. It seems like it anyway.

jakfrost Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Speaking as the owner of 'such a device' I can say with some authority that it does. Judging by the shop rate I figure after 3 'resets' I'm break even with the cost of the GS 911. And it works with my cell phone via bluetooth! So I take it with me on the road. Jim Link to comment
Ken H. Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Speaking as the owner of 'such a device' I can say with some authority that it does. The "Service" indicator is new with the 2008 models, you have a 2005 correct? Which didn't have it. That being said, on the GS-911 forum (on Google) the fine folks at HexCode have said this is a feature they are working on for a future release of the GS-911 software. Link to comment
marcopolo Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 That's what I was getting at when I said someone could ask. I meant ask the makers of the GS-911. Link to comment
Twisties Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 What happens if you hold the ODO reset down and turn on the key for instance? Bill Gates pops up! Link to comment
GordonB Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I very much would like to know if the GS-911 can reset the "stepper motors" as is done at each 6000 svc at the LD. Link to comment
SageRider Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I very much would like to know if the GS-911 can reset the "stepper motors" as is done at each 6000 svc at the LD. Not at this time, at least on the R1200-RT. Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I very much would like to know if the GS-911 can reset the "stepper motors" as is done at each 6000 svc at the LD. Not yet, but they will figure it out. Same with the service light reset. Stephan is doing good stuff, but it takes time to reverse engineer these things. Jim Link to comment
JayW Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 What service light are you referring to? My '05 RT either has no such thing, or it has never turned on. Addendum: Never mind - my question was answered above. Jay Link to comment
GordonB Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Svc lights came into being with the '08's Link to comment
jakfrost Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My mistake, he said 'service light', I read 'fault indication'... Geez just reading too fast these days :-) Jim Link to comment
ScottT Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What service light are you referring to? My '05 RT either has no such thing, or it has never turned on. That's right. Solution is to ditch the 2008 for an older RT. Old ones are faster too... especially red ones... the KGT riders are always amazed when they cannot keep up Link to comment
BeemerLover Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I think the '07 RT is the sweet spot. That year they took the servo brake booster off and it is before the service light. Silver has proven to be the fastest. That particular color repels photons better than all others which allows the bike to cut through photo radiation better. Gael Link to comment
Bob_Minor Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 And if it had a FD drain plug it would be perfect. Link to comment
ScottT Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Silver has proven to be the fastest. Red is pretty fast too Link to comment
