C Wallace Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I just received a postcard from BMW saying my '14 RTW needs a software update. When I go to the specified website and enter my VIN it says there are no open recalls for my bike... Does anyone know what that update does? My bike runs really well and I'd hate to muck that up.

Did you read the "Factory Update" posting above? Link to comment

hefy_jefy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So I had the updates done today took about 1 hour, the Multifunction switch was the right side one - I guess the Kill Switch. I don't use it but I recall that it could stick in the "Kill" position. Out of interest here are the before and after dumps of the ECU information from the GS911 - I only show the items that changed. Have no idea of the significance: Before: Factory I-Level : K001-14-02-500 Actual I-Level : K001-14-08-510 Program Count : 2 Firmware Date (YY/MM/DD) : 14/09/05 . SW Memory Image (SWFL) : . . Firmware ID : 0CF7 . . Firmware Version : 017.000.020 . SW Memory Image (SWFL) : . . Firmware ID : 1FB4 . . Firmware Version : 017.000.020 After: Factory I-Level : K001-14-08-510 Actual I-Level : K001-15-07-521 Program Count : 3 Firmware Date (YY/MM/DD) : 16/02/10 . SW Memory Image (SWFL) : . . Firmware ID : 0CF7 . . Firmware Version : 022.000.000 . SW Memory Image (SWFL) : . . Firmware ID : 1FB4 . . Firmware Version : 022.000.000 When I first got on the bike to ride home the Shift Assist did NOT work - at all! I almost turned around and went back to the dealer. However I remembered that when I first got the bike it didn't work and on the advice of someone (in this forum I think) I switched Modes back and forth a few times (Rain, Road, Dyno) and it started working is this some sort of learning mode? Who knows. Have not noticed any difference in the shifting yet, either manual of Shift Assist. Geoff Link to comment
bobbybob Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 And the dealer rep didn't tell you to expect that? Jeez. I have heard this several times so it ain't just you. Link to comment
strataj Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sham on the dealer, they should of taken it for a test ride including testing the shift assist. Jay Link to comment
