    Left Switchgear Wiring

    The left-hand switchgear is a LIN bus. The 3 wires are 12V, ground, and LIN data wire. The LIN data wire read 7 volts with ignition on. I think that is due to the LIN data signals fluctuating between 0V and 12V so frequently that my multimeter read 7V. Anyway, I replaced the lefthand...

    Left Switchgear Wiring

    So much for ChatGPT. Someone on the GS-911 support forum said 7V to ground on CAN bus is not normal and that it is likely a LIN bus. Now ChatGPT agrees. Good grief. Now I need to learn about LIN bus.

    Left Switchgear Wiring

    My apologies if I am over posting on this. I measured the voltage to ground in the 3 wires going to the switchgear. The yellow and brown wires have 7V and the red/green wire has 12V. This is as expected according to ChatGPT. I also disconnected the battery to let the control units reset. Did...

    Left Switchgear Wiring

    Please correct me where I am wrong as I think through this. I'm thinking the three wires to the left switchgear are CanBus, so one is 12V power and the other 2 are Can low and Can high. If the other buttons on the left switchgear work (cruise control, headlights, flashers), the Canbus wiring...

    Left Switchgear Wiring

    2021 R18 Classic Seems I fix one thing and break another. I had to replace the plastic cruise controls bits on left hand switchgear. Now the cruise control works but I lost function of turns signals and horn. The four buttons on the lower portion of the switchgear. There are three wires on...

    Remove / disassemble / repair left hand switchgear housing

    2021 R18 Classic. I had to replace the plastic cruise control on/ff and the set/resume pieces. I found the two pieces on AliExpress for $35. Expensive pieces of plastic but better than replacing the complete part ($700). Here are some helpful thoughts for others doing the same. This video...

    Low Fuel Warning Will Not Reset

    The good news - the low fuel warning indictor finally went off. The bad news - I have no idea why. It did go away between starts. Given that startup shakes the tank pretty hard, it could certainly dislodge a stuck float. But as some have stated, the bike does not use a float mechanism. Seems...

    Reverse Recall done

    Interesting. Mine did the same one day after the repair. I used my GS-911 to read it the reason. It was a service reminder. It appeared to be about 13 months since the last service date. I reset it for 2 years out and all good now.

    Low Fuel Warning Will Not Reset

    Here is the parts fiche. Part #1 is the fuel pump and part #8 is a warning switch. Is the part I circled on #1 the float?

    Low Fuel Warning Will Not Reset

    2021 R18 Classic Scenario - I needed to lift the rear of the tank to remove a couple USB power cables the previous owner had run under the tank. I waited for the low fuel warning to come on so the tank would be lighter. I rmoved the tank rear bolt and lifted the tank so that a small block of...
