Yes, I had one when I owned my R1150GS that had an intermittent ABS fault after it was 7 years old. It showed me the fault was a piston pump fault and allowed me to reset the fault code. The problem went away after a couple of fluid flushes. There was either an airlock in the pump or a bit of crud that got flushed out when my independent service chap flushed the system.

I sold the GS911 when I ditched BMW in 2011. Their failure rate on new bikes was too high on the 1200 range for the first decade that I never imagined owning a BMW again. The RS is a keeper though, so I might get one again as they can quickly return the cost if you can diagnose the problem and then fix it yourself or get a non-franchised mechanic to fix the bike.

I have one that I use on all three of the BMW's in our garage. It's a very handy diagnostic tool.

I bought one in 2011 for our K1300Ss because we're 180 miles from the dealer.
I didn't want to take the time to run both bikes to the dealer just to clear the service reminder.
Turns out the service reminder was not that noticeable but found the tool handy for checking codes and running the ABS pumps.
