Re: Info and advice please re bike to bike coms

Personally, I would recommend the Cardo Packtalk Bold. It uses a Cardo specific 'mesh' system as they call it. Our sets have never let us down and they sync really quickly and are a solid fix over significant distances. Not cheap but my mates have found that the old saying about "buy cheap, buy...

Re: Swingarm lower suspension protection

Yes when I had a look last night - it'll need a bit of jiggling but it could be helpful.

Re: GS-911 Advice please

If by TB you mean the transmission - yes the fan came on as per the on screen instructions and that was it reset - though I did let him run a good bit after it started to blow. No, as he went through the gears the gear indicator flashed while learning new voltages and the QS wouldn't operate until a...

Re: GS-911 Advice please

Finally got to grips properly with the 911! Pure dead brilliant!! Cycled all functions, reset all adaptation values, quick shift and transmission reset, throttle valves calibrated. Riding much better and gear changes are transformed up and down - love it. The unit even got rid of a dreaded exhaust f...

Re: GS-911 Advice please

I'm going to have a look at that site too. I intended to do a first scan today with the 911 but then storm Otto decided to uproot another load of trees and destroy our mains power supply again! I'll try again tomorrow - for interest I'll post what problems it finds on a bike that's running like a dr...

Re: GS-911 Advice please

Yes. Thanks for that - good to know someone has managed it! πŸ‘ I contacted Hex about it and they too reckoned that with a sufficiently stable mobile data link it should work ok and link well enough to the cloud, etc. I should have time tomorrow to do a first scan - we'll see if it works out here in t...

Re: GS-911 Advice please

That's the unit on its way to me.
Does anyone know whether the phone being on active mobile data will suffice for the unit to work properly as if it was on a Wi-if network? Getting the bike to
somewhere on the property within range of my Wi-Fi network would need a small army of contractors!

Re: GS-911 Advice please

Hi
So does one have to download an app to the mobile device to utilise the Wi-Fi? I run a Mac as my main device and I believe the GS will not work with a Mac - is that right.

GS-911 Advice please

Hi I don't really do clubs or borrowing/hiring stuff so I'm going to get a GS-911 Wi-Fi. The bike is a 2021 R1250RT and I'll be doing all my own servicing. The warranty is up on March 6th. So before I dive in I was wondering if anyone has any advice they think might be helpful to me. Thanks in advan...

Re: Rearward Visibility

Hi Glenn I previously owned a HONDA ST1300 and originally I put on black reflective sheet at the rear too because it blended really well into the black plastic and the grey painted areas as well as being almost invisible until illuminated. The problem was that I was advised that the black reflects w...

Rearward Visibility

Hi Having been hit from behind by a current police class 1 rider on a motorcycle and on another occasion by an ex police class 1 traffic officer/driver in a Jag, I'm pretty keen on being visible - it also explains the permanent front and rear video recording setup! So, using some 3M reflective sheet...

Front wheel removal aid

Hi So fed up with the ice, salt and snow being back on the roads once again that I'm farkling again!! I'm getting together everything we might need for a summer of extended touring as much of Scotland, the North East, Hadrian's Wall and the Lakes as we can manage. So, what about when I need to take ...
