I was recently on a trip on my 2016 R1200RS and had an unusual problem with the bike. I was happily cruising along when the engine suddenly started missing and bucking, the general warning light started flashing, and the engine symbol appeared, which per the manual means there's a severe engine fault! I pulled over on the shoulder and shut off the engine, hoping that might clear the problem. It didn't, so I rode a bit further until I found a safe place to park. I had brought my GS911 along so I used it to see what the fault was. There were actually two faults: Left cylinder injector, output open circuit; Left cylinder injector, output short circuit to battery positive. I tried clearing the faults and restarting, but the problems came right back. As a last resort I decided to take a look at the injector, since it's very easy to get to. I pulled it out and it physically looked fine. Since the faults were for the injector control circuit I unplugged the control connector and did not see any problems. I reinstalled the injector, started the engine, and suddenly everything was fine! The engine ran fine and the warning light and engine symbol cleared. I continued on my trip and put another 1000 miles on the bike without any more problems. |

Maybe a bad wiring connection to the injector or the controller due to corrosion and pulling things apart and reconnecting them cleaned them? That works for my TV remote controller.

Sounds like the GS911 is paying for itself |

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #2 Yes, that seems to be the most likely culprit at this point. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #3 Definitely! It saved me a tow to the nearest dealer this time, and I've used it several times for service resets. |
