I recently purchased a very low mileage 2015 R1200RT. This bike is the sibling of my 2015 R1200RTWA that I bought new. The bike's service light was on when I purchased it and thought I'd just turn it off when I arrived home. I attempted to connect my GS911 to the RT and couldn't get it to mate with the bike's data connector. After lots of twisting and cursing, I decided to photograph the connector and compare it with those on my GSWR and my R1150RS... both of which connect just fine. The GSWA and RS connectors look like the standard:
The photo I took of the RT's connector looks like this crappy photo:
In short, the bikes that easily connect to the GS911 have "keying tabs" that point to pins 1, 9, and 5. My RT's connector's "keying tabs" point to pins 1, 9, and 8. In short, there's no way in hell I can connect the GS911 to this bike's connector (as it is!)
Has anyone ever seen this before and, if so, were you able to get around this issue?
It's always somethin'!
Thanks in advance!
