Hi all,

R1200 GSA.

Finally, I walked away from BMW service centres (tired of their unreasonable service fees and markup on parts) so I need some advice on which ECU reader to purchase for fault finding and clearing fault codes. The HEX GS-911 seems very popular, am I looking in the right direction, are there any alternatives to look at?
Why are bike readers much more expensive than car readers?

Many thanks for any comments.

Take care.

I did purchase the GS-911 for my '22GS and are very happy about it, quite useful and a solution that I can trust when maintaining a relative expensive bike. I think the GS-911 is the best alternative, but also the most expensive. Regarding the price, it is not only for the device it self, it also include software license and future updates to both the software and the unit firmware.
Thank you very much for your reply and comments. I understood from reading a sales advert here in Europe that an annual licence fee was additional to the purchase price, so it's very reasurring to know that is included in the purchase price. Phew...

You have persuaded me to go ahead and order one. Many thanks and happy riding...
