Hi all
I generally do my own maintenance, and would like to reset the indicator. I bought this one on Amazon, had no issues downloading the app, but it seems it won't 'talk' or recognize the bike 17426643330774693913527183487945.jpg(2021 FE).
Any recommendations on another model that will work? Thanks in advance. Ed

That will work. I’ve got the same one. Which app? You need motoscan, which is an android only app. If youre an Apple guy, you’ll need to find something with android. I bought a super cheap Amazon fire tablet and had to sideload the Google store, but it works and the total spend was like $125.

Lots of guys on the page have the hex gs911 tool. I think it’s an easier arrangement, but it’s $400 or something like that.
 
IMO the GS-911 is hands down the easiest to use and the most comprehensive .. not cheap ... what what on these bikes is ...

Ahh, now I get it. I was working only with the obd link app. I see the Motoscan app, pro version, and I have an Android. Thanks for the help.
 
I just bought the GS-911 (wifi option) from AliExpress $320. Not arrived yet so no experience to share.
 
so installed the Motoscan pro app, and on the second try a success, thinking the 1st try I missed a reset button for date, and on the 2nd try I clicked on K35, rather than K34, for the FE I have. Either way it was reset, verified with a quick round the block (in 25f here this morning) and thanks for the advice here.
(Going in Friday morning for the reverse wiring recall, and I wanted the service light out before the visit.) Cheers, Ed

Awesome! Just got mine back from the recall work. I hope that’s the end of the issues on this thing.
