We really need these guys to make a version of their tool for TR http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911 ... Sorry for hijack. Keeping my fingers crossed for you !
Hey this looks like something that would be quite useful for people isolated from the Moss tool, like all of Canada! Great find.
I Contacted the HexCode people and they got back to me very quickly and this is what they said about the possibility of the tool for the Strada/Terra Actually they use different control modules as far as I am aware... We've had someone try.. and it definitely does not work out of the box... however, as soon as someone supplies us with a harness and control units, we can start testing on it... so if you know of a crash bike.. let us know... spread the word and I'm sure we'll find one somewhere, ...some time... best, Stephan
We need to know the location of 'hexcode' before we could get bikes to them - city/country/providence.
They are in South Africa. They need a donor bike as it will take time to develop. Mine's still dead, hummm
Found it on there site! Not too far from Cape Town: Sadly, I am unclear how many TR650's were sold there.. Any other vendors for those types of products on ADV? I'm splitting this topic off of the SOS thread.
Look guys I will take one for the team here. Raise enough money to get me and the TR over to Africa and I'll ride down for everyone.
Do you think my wife would be mad if I bought a second TR and shipped all the internals to South Africa for this?
Before you fine people get carried away, I searched the address of 'hexcode' and they seem to be a affiliated with this company: http://www.ross-tech.com/distributors.html It could be that they are modifying one of ross techs products, who are located in Pennsylvania.
Ha! I never thought I'd have a connection between my old VW and my new Husky. Ross-tech does exactly what your looking for, but on volkswagen/audi cars. VW has their own proprietary diagnostic tool (VW's "MOSS"), and ross-tech makes a third party version that's more affordable for enthusiasts.
For the record, one of the *many* (100s?) rumors in the last 6 months, is that the new company owners could be developing a MOSS substitute that would not need to be in contact with the BMW servers to function.
I am probably the "someone" who tried to use my 911 ( hexcode unit) that I had for my F800R. The Husky( BMW on the cap) connection got me a good connection but couldn't read the ECU info properly and wouldn't recognize the model ( from the VIN) when I was trying to add the husky to my allowed bikes. Could get some info but not much from the unit. It is a Magnetti Marelli unit . They need a TR ECU unit they can interrogate the hard way and I am in Oz and they are in South Affrica so I aint sending my unit. I really hope they get it working though as it is a very useful tool for the BM. Ain't it amazing what connections you find on world wide forums.
In fact there was a Strada badly damaged and replaced instantly with new one. Krussell's ?? I wonder where is it now, who owns crashed bikes ? Insurance company ? And what they did with it ? Sold for parts? Scrapped altogether? Anywhere it is, can be tracked and internals bought out... I even would be interested to take part fInancially in forming a common fund to buy back the ECU and harness. Knowing how 911 tool works, I believe its worth a try.
