GILLY
What, me worry?
We had over 800 miles when we took our bikes in for the 600 mile service and the service reminder did not come on.
On C650GTs or your K bike? My K1200Gt was an 07 so didn't have the service reminder.

The gs-911 may not be compatible with the scooter as the computer at the dealer was not compatible when my bike went through and they were not able to set anything on my scooter at the time. The gs-911 may need a software update.
From what I have gathered is that the dealer has to set the clock for service when it gets pdi'd. When the service light comes on it is only for a short bit of time at start up. If it is left the word service stays on and so does the yellow warning light. This is what I am trying to avoid. The gs-911 as mentioned may not be compatible at this time unless someone else can advise me differently. I hope it is or at least will be next fall when I am ready for my major service.
I checked the Hexcode site and do not see the scooter listed, same for the K1600.
What you describe on the service message sounds like our K1300S,s except for the yellow triangle. At first the service message shows at start up and shuts off. If you ignore it for a 1000 miles or so the word service stays on, but no yellow triangle for us.
If the yellow triangle comes on for the scooter, that's a pain because now you don't notice a low TPM, low fuel or other warnings.
You could email the guys at Hexcode and ask if the scooter is supported and if not, when will it be added.

BMW likes to list things as options, but in fact you don't really have an option. I don't know if a dealer can actually "order" a particular bike or not (built to a customers wishes). Maybe at one time, but not any more. If you are lucky they can get a particular color.

I think as time goes as, as Lee has said an individual will be able to order the scooter the way they want. The individual will have to wait until it gets built. But is the wait the worth it as the options are only $600 for the heated seat and grips and a couple of hundred for the alarm and you get to twist and go very soon, maybe in a few days versus months.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. It's not getting the options you want as much as NOT getting the options you don't want. Wait a year or three and see if it's any easier to get a scooter into the US or Canada without the heated seats and grips. Won't happen. Maybe on the S but not the GT, they will all be Highlines.
