Thanks, Old Mechanic. I bought the same setup as you when I first got my BMW. I only have an Apple iPhone, so I bought a cheap Android phone for about $40 and just use it on wi-fi. Works great!

Well done David 👍🏻👊🏻

I bought the top dog last year with the proper ODBLink. Works great. And a friend gave me a free Samsung phone lol. Love the crane above you in the shop!

Bought the full version with USC2100 and adaptor cable when my ABS front brake started to let me down. Bought it after I saw Your other ABS actuator vid. Thanks for putting in the effort and sharing the knowledge. Took also a failed (and ridiculously pricey - they also broke my airbox cover and did not stand up to it 🤬) try at the random stealership to convince me about Wladimir's tool, but I love it. My (very cheap) X-Country had a pretty rough life, and to bring her back to my personal standard, that scan-app and OBD tool are priceless.

@@TheOldMechanic Yeah, great, absolutely great, .... that I found You and Your tips here! Thanks again! The X bike is my first "computerized" bike with interface so far (and by far the youngest, too 😄), I have BMW first-gen. K-bikes (75S for every day and one of the very first K100 "in restoration"), a slightly improved Thunderbird Sport for strictly sunny days, she's sporting ancient carburettor technique, as my Ducs, Guzzis and Laverdas have it (which mostly are a retirement plan) .... Cheers 👊 EDIT: Oh, and by the way: Did You open the special Brembo PS13 handpump the ABS-versions have? I opened it when I did not succeed sufficiently with de-gassing the ABS-Block alone (while it got very much better with the de-airing proceedure). To open that version of the PS13, You have to pull the roll-pin that's underneath the white mushroom while the piston is pressed away from the roll-pin, after that removal the piston with two rubber umbrellas can be pulled. Be careful to keep the rubbers intact and have an eye on the way it's assembled - non buyable unobtainium, as well the rubber as the specialized pump form for ABS-versions as a part, so far as I would know. In mine, there is also a venting function to bleed the pretty complicated ABS-version pump properly: The Allen bolt on the front end. After bleeding a first time everything, we opened that and de-aired the rebound vent that is particular to these PS13 ABS pumps by slowly pulling the lever towards the handle bar. If there's air, You'll hear the bubbling. Close the bolt again, pressure is much better without air in that chamber - as You would expect. I do not know where else these ABS pump versions of the Brembo PS 13 are built in, but I could not find a bloody single one online - tried a PS13 from an Aprilia 650 without ABS, which did not work well in the ABS X-BMW. Tried another PS13 from a BMW F650 GS which was also differently built, but did not work with the ABS-X-Bike version either. So I honed my pump where corrosion from never changing any fluid and standing a lot without use had left a rough surface, put it back together and also changed the little O-ring that is on the Allen-bolt in the front end of the pump. When I de-aired that chamber at last after using the "old-mechanic"-procedure, everything went from good again to better still. Only thing I have to do now is somehow changing the brakeline with the rubber-part - that's proper effed, too, and needs changing - visibly bulging when pressurized 😲- a sh*tshow, as lots of other parts of the bike. New lines for the lower front brake part are on order. 😁 Should my honing not work longterm and should I not find where these pumps were available, I probably have to sleeve the PS13 chamber - would like to avoid that if possible tbh. Cheers!

Hello, The Old Mechanic. I need your help. You mentioned that with the Motoscan I can invert or rather program the bike to use LEDs. I want to change it to LED but I don't know where exactly I should go on the motoscan to be able to reverse it. because when I installed the LEDs on mine (BMW r1200rt 2009) it gave me a warning that the lights weren't working and suddenly it turned off. Can you please make a video or give some instructions on how to do it?

Hallo old mechanic. Kan ik met deze app ook de 35kw software begrenzing van mijn 800gs, 2017 (elektronische gashendel) verwijderen? De dealer kan het sowieso doen maar het is nog best prijzig. Aan de motoscan app heb ik sowieso een goede investering. Ik heb net mijn volledige motorrijbewijs gehaald 😀.

@gerritblekkenhorst5104

6 ай бұрын

Goede vraag! Deze vraag heb ik namelijk ook. Voor zover ik goed opgelet heb bij het begrenzen, bestaat de 35 kw begrenzing uit twee handelingen: 1. max toerental begrenzing (wat eventueel met motoscan app weer te resetten is) en 2. mechanische gasklepopening beperking dmv ander beugeltje waardoor gasklep minder ver open gaat. Het originele beugeltje heb ik meegekregen toen de beperking uitgevoerd werd. Inderdaad erg duur voor wat het eigenlijk maar inhoud. Het zijn erg fijne motoren, maar je weet wat BMW betekend hè? : Bring My Wallet :)

Hi. I bought the ultimate version. I have a BMW c400x motorcycle. I wanted to set the service interval, but it doesn't work. I have an OBDLink CX adapter. Motoscan shows that there is a connection between them, but they do not communicate with each other. It says the device is not found. If I look in the bluetooth devices in the motoscan app, the obd reader is there. I just don't get it. What could be the problem. Can you help? It cost €160 so everything doesn't work. I'm desperate.

Yes, I already tried that. In my case, the phone lists the device "OBDLink CX" among the bluetooth devices. I push it, it pairs, it writes out a code asking if I want to connect. I confirm that it is, and then the connection will be active. In the motoscan app itself, if I select the obd adapter for bluetooth devices, it shows green that it is fully compatible. And yet it doesn't want to be good in the end, the device is not found, it says this when I look in the adapter check menu. Do you understand what I'm writing? They recognize each other at first, but then they don't.
