It is the cheapest version that plugs into your laptop computer. For $100
more you can get a bluetooth version, but that is a lot of money to spend.
The cheapest version can handle up to 10 different bikes.
Sure, but the GS911 allows you to modulate the ABS system, thereby clearing
any old fluid out. Or, you can flush it out, and as long as you do not get
any air in the system, you can slam on your brakes and the system will
activate. That is a bit dangerous, though.
Your section on the 911 diagnostic tool is very brief – any chance of a
more detailed explanation of the advantages of buying one ? The shop manual
for the Rotax-engined BMWs states unequivocally that no ABS-equipped bike
can be safely bled / replenished unless a MoDiTec or similar analyser is
used. The 911 costs here in Spain around 400 Euro – a major investment for
a competent Weekend Warrior.
Thanks for the comment – which version do you recommend ? I & my pal each
has the Scarver variant of the F650 – belt driven ‘girlie’ bikes which
never really took off but are great vehicles anyway. We prefer to do all
the maintenance on them ourselves. AL
Nice video. Is it possible to flush the ABS unit without using the GS911?
You can look up the GS-911 website and you can see that this is a very
powerful tool. Recently, they added TPMS and fuel strip calibration. Each
of the standard model can support up to 10 BMW bikes. Are you sure that the
model you are looking at is the standard GS-911 and not the shop version?
