I just received my 2 year trophy here at Cafe Husky. 2 years of waiting for a solution, the thanks go to you, Wayne, and any help I could give I am happy to give. I'm sure the others feel the same way.
In layman's terms, can you explain what I can and/or can't do with the GS911 on my Terra? I assume I can reset the service thingy on the dash. I guess I can read & clear fault codes if there were any. I guess I can confirm operation & possibly reset functions of things like the idle actuator. Can I adjust the fueling? Increase the idle? Asking these questions am I too stupid to try to do any of this?
My best guess is the following: Reset service thingy - I'm guessing not yet Read & clear faults - Yes Confirm operation - feedback of sensor values, yes Reset functions like idle actuator - I'm guessing not yet, unknown what specific functions are planned Adjust fueling - No Increase idle - No
hmmm. For the price asked I would have expected it to do all of those. Appears to have much more functionality for BMW owners.
The GS911 WiFi functionality can be considered as split into 2 Emergency Functions via WiFi web interface to your phone/tablet for when you are out on the road which is read and clear fault codes and real time recording Maintenance functions for back in the workshop via the PC application, in there you have component testing capability, not all service functionality is in this initial release but it is being prepared along with the same functions for some new BMW models From both interfaces you have all the ECU information screens to see which version of firmware is in the ECU's. It was using this which enabled identifying that one of the bikes I looked at is on older firmware and needs updating, on the same machine I was able to identify the AF XIED fitted was a dead parrot and was supplying no voltage to the BMS-E for 02 signal so rather than running lean the bike was running full rich in limp home mode In terms of functionality for Terra compared to the BMW models, the functionality will be the same, whatever the ECU's allow will be fully implemented There is more functionality for the Terra than my older 2002 650GS Dakar as the BMS-C on mine does not have access to some items the BMS-E does The BMS-E on the Terra and Nuda is used on the BMW 600/650 Scooters and the 650GS/Sertao so the full suite of functionality is needed for those models as well Further down the track all the models will have additional functionality from the WiFi browser interface as per the announcement of cloud functionality for the K001 models in the Hexcode news release Re programming, that is a Dealer Tool function and the GS911 does not do it for any of the BMW models Re remapping, the only way you will ever get that functionality is if the Terra owners get together and convince someone to write the software, just like TuneECU for the Triumph/KTM owners I have learned a little re some of the electronics you have on the Terra in the process of the testing with the Sydney guys I have started running up a pdf with the info the same as I have for the 650GS/Sertao and I will put it on my 650GS web site hopefully later today
I understand it to be a fairly comprehensive diagnostic tool only, with the ability to clear "fault" codes, & possibly "adaption" tables in the near future "Oh" that it could reprogram or even MOSS the ecu, that's maybe sometime away
Keith, GS911 is diagnostics only, it does not reprogram any BMW model, what do you refer to with "MOSS the ECU" ?
Wayne I didn't say that it was anything more than a diagnostic tool "Oh" that it could? Means wouldn't it be great if it could be more than a diagnostic tool?
Wayne, you're doing great work It's my (our) frustration that BMW/Husqvarna appear to have done nothing to assist owners over-come the "built-in" fueling & air filtering problems, when they purchased the TRs, Stradas, Nudas - all excellent motorcycles, otherwise we'd not be going to the trouble of getting them to run
NOW that's a challenge for us Husky owners - I'll happily "chuck-in" a couple hundred $'s to get a TuneECU
Let's check around. I put out some emails, I need to find out who needs what etc, then maybe we could start a crowdfund or something? Might start a whole new topic too. I'm going to get the GS911 soon as the dust settles. I would still like to change a few things the gs911 can't do.
Doesn't appear to do anything much more than a BMW GS 650 unit for the MM ECU would have done in the past then?? Was my guess that they haven't really pursued the Husky TR650 development correct??
Mark, the functionality for the 650GS Sertao was only added late last year and it was far easier to implement as it has only BMS-E and ABS intelligent ECU's. There is no CAN BUS implemented on the 650gs/Sertao. In additional all the starter system and starter lock outs on the 650GS/Sertao are done with hardware logic the same as the earlier 650GS models which again means no intelligence or ability to test The functionality for the Terra took longer because of the implementation of CAN and firmware logic for starter system, this means the functionality for testing on the Terra is far more extensive than the 650GS/Sertao and the development had to take place alongside development for a couple of other new BMW models
The GS911 is ready for the Terra, you do need to be careful which unit you get, as the WiFi unit is the only one that supports the TR650 at this time.
Thanks for that warning!! I'm happy to hang back and wait for the (cheaper?) USB-only version, as I only see the need in a home-servicing context (i.e. wipe the service+error stuff, reset the adaptive values....and that's pretty much it, don't need a diagnostic tool telling me if the indicators or brakelight work) If at all possible, I don't want to see any shop-mechanics near that bike....so the interest is certainly there. Any of the local Melbournians want to share? I'm sure we can rustle up an older Win7 lappy to make this a "take-home" package. Is there a limit on VIN numbers (I guess they're required by GS911 to run??) that the GS911 can be used on?
The enthusiast version is a 10 VIN limit on the maintenance functions, the emergency functions are not VIN limited. One of the real benefits of the WiFi is the ability to do real time recording of engine sensors to track down intermittent faults or use it to look at lambda values as they are with setting up the LC2/ In the future there will also be access to maintenance functions in the cloud. Having access to fault code info and clearing faults info out on the road can save a lot of time
