Bike: 2011 R1200RT with 47000 miles
It's been about a year & a half since I last used my GS-911 so when I logged on yesterday I was informed that a new version was available so I downloaded it. The new version indicated that my bike was not recognized & that I had to do an Auto Scan. The scan indicated that there had been a couple of minor faults but that they did not currently exist. Then I attempted to find where you select "Idle Actuator Calibration" & "Engine Synchronization" but I couldn't find either activity. Thinking that it may have been because the bike was not warmed up I took the bike out for a 10 mile ride ( I had already checked the valve adjustment ), installed the GS-911 turned it on (It again informed me that my bike was not recognized & that I had to do another Auto Scan) & again I could not find where to select "Idle actuator Calibration or Engine Synchronization " What might I be doing wrong?
Also I have a home made carb stick made from plans I found on the BMWRT website way back when I had a R1100RT. It's made from a long length of tubing mounted on a board with red ATF in the lines. Also have snubbers in the lines to minimize fluctuations. Would it be adequate to do the off idle Synchronization?
With the valve checked, the bike warmed up & with the carb stick (vacuum gauge) installed & the engine idling the vacuum gauge pulls hard on one side,. Any ideas???
