- Gear: Hex Innovate GS-911 for BMW Motorcycles 4K
This is a short video using the Hex Innovate GS-911 Wifi Diagnostic reader to check out the error codes on my 2020 BMW R1250GS Rallye.
My original intent was to check and reset the ABS error codes after I'd destroyed my front ABS sensor, so the first part of the video looks at the device, where you connect it and my initial look at this (though it did raise some other points too).
Later I run it again (2 weeks on) to see what has cleared. As it turns out, it found a couple of other things too, including a cruise control problem and the omnipresent exhaust flap problem.
This is the device:

It's the tool that I didn't know existed, and I didn't know I needed, (I assumed a dealer was the only option) so as you can probably tell, as a BMW owner, I'm a fan. It helps me check things that would otherwise be unseen, and while I can't fix all the problems, yet, it gives me an idea of where to look.
Thanks for watching

I just purchased one of these and nowhere i could find a video that explains it as well as yours, thanks now i know where to plug it and what to do with it , thanks
Thanks. I have two or three more that I’m filming this weekend, tyre pressure sensor setting, sports dash changing (with the track view…) and the turn signal light options. Hopefully they’ll be up on the channel a few days later.
Thanks Andre. Useful real use video. Hope all is well.
Thanks Luthor, and yes, all well. ‘Behind with my videos, but that’s the price of working full time for a few months to catch up after taking a break from everything for a few months.
This reader is a good idea to carry on the road/track, Andre. It might save you a few days in case of trouble. Besides this device gives you the good feeling of being in charge ;-) Gotta wash the Transalp from last weekend now, cheerio, Günter/Nürnberg
Yup, though it only helps with the diagnosis… I suspect I’ll still have to visit a dealer from time to time for a fix. Glad to hear the Transalp is getting muddy! Winter is over 😁
@@PeakMotorcycles Yep, winter is over. Finally.
Nice video Andre. I have one of these and I think it's a must have if you own a BMW. I used mine a few weeks ago to cycle the ABS pump when I flushed the brake fluid. BTW, a Snap On ratcheting screwdriver is an ideal tool for BMW bodywork.
Thanks Paul, and yes, I should get a T25 with a better handle (though those pivoting wrenches are pretty good and don’t take up much space)
My 2023 r1250gsa speedo is off by 4 mph tft indicated speed
I set my cruise control and kept increasing my speed till i got 1 mile a min which was 64 mph tft indicated is that a adjustable parameter using the gs911
Cool! I’ll take a look at that. I have a long trip coming up and was considering what content I can do. That might fit nicely. Though perhaps it’s use GPS speed as a calibrator?
Did you have to set up a wi-Fi hotspot or just use the app?
I connected my phone to the GS-911 as the WiFi access point and was able to operate it that way. Does that make sense?
Andre you look good my friend.
Thanks, good for me maybe, everything is relative 🤣
The brake fault codes are due to the abs not active when the bike has not moved after starting the bike. I don't think you need to clear them. Think does the same for the traction control.
Thanks for that 👍
It'd be worth taking some screen grabs of the errors, then fully clearing the codes and going for a bit of a ride, then checking again. I find on my truck when I have an error it's normally one thing that I have that sets off all the others. Could have been the previous fix that set them all off.
Yup. Will do. I’ll also try the window application on my laptop, as I think that does more and tells more than the mobile app. I’ll bring it to TN if you want the fortune of you SKRR telling!
thank you
You're welcome. I have a few more GS-911 videos coming from next week.
A GS911 can remove the RPM limiter?? Can unlock it.
Unknown I’m afraid. I expect their support team could confirm if it’s not in the documentation. Might be bike specific too (the features usually are)
Can we use this gs 911 obd 2 for a 2016 bmw s1000rr which has a round pin connector using a female connector? Does the software recognize a 2016 bike? *Pls help*
Hi, I think that’s a question for HexInnovate. I’m pretty sure it is as I think they cover bikes back 20+ years. They also do two versions of the device, one has the round connector.
@@PeakMotorcycles Thanks mate🤝
Yeah , sure can , make sure you get correct cable .i use my gs9-11 on both my 2006 r1200gsa and 2020 1250gsa👍
@@harvmonkey1 they currently have an offer on for a free round connector adapter. It was for Father’s Day I think.
It would be super useful if you could get a device like this for every bike.
Should be standard equipment on every new bike, but, the dealer network is probably against it.
I guess the ODB readers tell you a few things, but not like this. As for the dealer networks, I’m sure they make good money out of diagnostics… (I heard that some BMW dealers use these units too… )
OBDSTAR diagnostic iscan make specfic £385 OBDSTAR MS 70 multi bike £900
WiFi… or is it Blue Tooth..
If it needs to run through your WiFi router it’s useless in the field
It’s Wi-Fi, but doesn’t need to be run through your WiFi router. Your phone connects directly to the GS911 as if it was the router. Same as how Wi-Fi works on GoPros.
@@PeakMotorcycles maybe that’s a language thing,
That’s usually called Bluetooth across the pond.
But happy to here I can connect my phone to it in the field, away from my house and computer…, their website doesn’t do a great job of explaining that either
Thankfully I ride a bike that doesn't need this nonsense. Viva SCR950!
You are lucky indeed! Though I guess it has electronic fuel injection and ABS (at least?) so I’m sure a Yamaha dealer has something similar, though it doesn’t have quite as many things to check, or to go wrong. This is a good thing!
Only one sold lol
What nonsense on a basic lump, I own a gs and this can bus system is not wanted by us.
Would you get rid of it because of it?
@@PeakMotorcycles hi, of course not, I understand diagnostics, but many are being ripped off. And or simply don't have a clue, thankyou for your comment though, paul.
If you didn't buy bmw, you wouldn't need this scam tool, oh i mean scan tool
🤣 quite a few bikes have can buses these days, and all have the same thing with unexplained warning lights, but yes, simpler bikes don’t need it. What do you ride?
Well ride here in Australia, a forza 350, a new Honda Ct125 and just bought last week a used 2022 crf300l
@@craiglagden3608 awesome! I’ve a CT125 on the way (it’s in the UK but seems to have a problem with the speedo… hopefully fixed shortly)
@Peak Motorcycles yes you guys are having trouble with the speedo when they are switched from kph to mph they are out quite a bit.
