Has anyone messed around with a CAN bus sniffer on these bikes?

[malinamps]

I'm a retired GM software engineer and used to work with vehicle diagnostics, so lots of CAN protocol stuff. Just curious if anyone out there has put a sniffer on one of these bikes, or perhaps has unlocked any of the codes/addresses/messages?

Same for the teams that have built CarPlay systems that use the WonderWheel.

There is a semi-active thread over on ADVRider of people that have delved deeply into the CANBUS code, look in the GS Boxer forum.

2016 R1200RS No Spark, Finally Resolved! BAD DME!

Hello, Coming home from work the other day and was using some maximum throttle. Engine started to miss and sputter, check engine light on the dash. Pulled over and the bike will not re-start. Just cranks. GS-911 stored codes Indicated that both coils were shorted to ground? I kick myself for...

Oh, that’s next on the designer’s tablet—CANBUS integrated mirrors so we can have auto-darkening/dimming mirrors like the cars…

Or how about a button on our remote control that will cause all the tupperware to drop off the bike.. It would sure make servicing quicker/easier. Tesla's truck (whatever it is called or identifies as today) appears to have that feature, and you don't even have to press any buttons.

If you paint them blue and leave a Cybertruck behind a gas station, raccoons will try to climb in it looking for scraps.

Bears don't need to risk breaking their nails getting into them either.
