Mine works just fine, maybe you are holding your mouth wrong.I should've included the fact that I already own a GS-911 and do all of my own service/maintenance including the first service. But thank you!

Absolutely! It's a shame that it doesn't work with Indians too.And for the budget minded, since the frequency of actually using the GS-911 tool is low, a group of rider friends can share the cost by as much as ten ways (VIN numbers) making the cost only $30.00 per person.
And, since an R18 is so expensive, a group of friends "can share the cost" airplane owners do it all the time.And for the budget minded, since the frequency of actually using the GS-911 tool is low, a group of rider friends can share the cost by as much as ten ways (VIN numbers) making the cost only $30.00 per person.
I appreciate the info GP and I'll take your advice when it comes time that I need it. In the mean time, I'm hoping that the folks who program the GS911 will do a proper update that allows it to reset service intervals.That pretty much mirrors the reply that I received from their Support Desk after I sent them what my GS-911 read when I plugged it into my R18. That is why I immediately bought an OBDLink scan tool and downloaded the Pro version of MOTOSCAN and "got the job done" for about $130. The primary need I have for either device is resetting service lights; secondary is finding and clearing diagnostic codes. Although an excellent tool, my GS-911 "just ain't cutting it" for my R18 at this time. Paying a dealer an hours shop time and dealing with the associated hassle just to reset a service light is not for me.
Me too!!I appreciate the info GP and I'll take your advice when it comes time that I need it. In the mean time, I'm hoping that the folks who program the GS911 will do a proper update that allows it to reset service intervals.
Fantastic news! I had all but given up on that upgrade. Thank you for posting this info!Finally got the upgrade downloaded for the R 18 on my GS-911. New firmware was put out in November 2021, but hadn't seen any mention of it until I went on line to Hex Code to check it. After downloading, the diagnostic test does show the R 18.
Maybe a dumb question but when you say “…after you’ve installed the GS911 software..” do I install the GS911 software on the windows computer or the GS911? (Obviously the GS911 will have its own software installed on itself but software for the R18 which may not be on GS911 yet). Then too I assume the GS911 site and not BMW would supply the software? Sorry for so many ques but at 65 I’m not as good with computers as I used to be. ThanksThe GS911 plugs directly into the rectangular OBD-II Diagnostic connector located behind the right side panel. You can get basic info using the App with a smartphone. To drill down into the more sophisticated info you need to connect to a Windows computer via the usb cable after you’ve installed the GS911 software.
Well, I suppose I’m replying to myself but after spending a little more time reading this thread, I see that the R18 was added to the GS911 on Jan. 11 of this year (Submariner’s post)…..I don’t yet own a GS911 but I’m more likely to get one now.Maybe a dumb question but when you say “…after you’ve installed the GS911 software..” do I install the GS911 software on the windows computer or the GS911?

Any updates on the applicability of GS911 to R18?Plugged my GS-911 into my R18...
ABS unit is something totally new, not recognized at all. Alarm system, engine, instrument cluster and lighting controller are all existing units, Bike family not known. Working with HexCode on all the dumps to see what they find.
Mine up dated and R18 was included. I went right in and changed the service reminderAny updates on the applicability of GS911 to R18?
