- Exciting news. Due to the new firmware upgrade for the latest Gen2 cansmarts we now have more features like indicating/turn signals but with the limitations of 4 circuits on the #cansmart you can now daisy chain 2 cansmarts giving you 8 circuits to play with. The options and permutations are now endless. See what I have done to my #R1200GSA
IF YOU ADD A 2ND CANSMART TO A DENALI BUNDLE USE THE COUPON CODE 'DOUBLECANSMART'

The one thing putting me off spending cash on a CANsmart was the lack of circuits for flexibility, this really is as you say a game changer and whilst I won't get two straight away, expect an order over the weekend, thanks for the great explanation on how to sort all this.
Just added a single Cansmart, and now working on the second! Had to play and re play and stop and take notes, great video….
Looks a bit like our neighbour's Christmas house. Everywhere BlinkBlink and twice a day the fuse blows because of the high power consumption :-)
I could care less if people think my bike looks like a Xmas tree. Really? Who cares. Do what you want and makes you happy. I want my bike to be able to light up like Las Vegas! I would hope that by the age most of us are when we want an Adv bike that we have overcome worrying about what other people think of our choices.
I genuinely love this
Very helpful to see this! I have one cansmart, all four circuits in use. Now thinking a second would be very handy!
Game changer indeed. I bought one for my F800GS two years ago and messed about with it. Had a set of lights and a couple of other things. I now want to add marker lights etc and want to have flexibility of each light.
Just ordered another one, should arrive tomorrow and can’t wait.
I'm the biggest technophobe out there, I was worried about using the cansmart , I can't believe how simple it is to set up, I left my laptop in my garage just to change the setting if I wasn't happy after a ride and it literally took longer for the very good laptop to turn on than connect the cansmart and change settings, I love how you check the battery status and voltage with engine running , I can add more lighting and brake lighting in seconds now , my only criticism would be I wish it could be controlled with a app so it's easier on the move, I know you can use the wheel though, maybe one day that would be something that could be included in a future hardware device
🤯 time to plug in the third CANSmart now! 😀😀
Sean Alexander I don’t know why I hadn’t even thought of this........ know idea where you’d fit the 3rd module where it would be accessible by the rider. 😅🤪😂🤪🤪🤪🤪
All these circuits. Your running me around in rings following this.
Awesome information. I have a Gen 1 on my bike, but I like the features of the Gen 2. I really didn't want to spend the $$ on a Gen 2 for just the indicate ability. This however makes it more appealing. Thank you for this.
Regards
Brian
Great information. Thank you for sharing. Would like an overview of the couple other items you've got under your seat - the black box at the back with industrial velcro on top and the shiny black box towards the front with the silver button. :)
Thanks Dave. Sure the black box with Velcro is my tracker. I didn’t want to draw attention to it in case of any thieves watching but I can’t imagine they’ll be reading all my comments. I used to have it under my fuel tank but gps satellites were struggling a little to see it. The black box is the DVR unit for my K2 dual dash camera. I have other videos on my channel regarding this.
@@ABIKETHING K2 - that's what that is! thought I recognized it.
@@ABIKETHING thanks i read it. the thieve
@@hextunes that bike was sold looooong ago.
It would be interesting to see an amplink setup similar for non cansmart bikes such as a tenere 700. The amplink has a 3 trigger function on it and can be programmed by a phone through bluetooth
I have a GSA with the factory aux lights, and I was stopped in Switzerland and told they are fog lights, despite me showing him the BMW manual stating they are auxilliary lights he insisted they are fog lights and if I didn't turn them off he would sieze the bike. Yet I saw plent of Swiss registered bikes with them on......
I loved this, but i wish it wasn't so technically frightening. But i know it's what I need.
Thanks for a great learning episode. Awesome!
In another episode you compared the Clearwater Dixi lights to the Denali D7's. I have a set of Kristas on my 1250 GSA and a Hexcan CANsmart. I would like to know if the Krista can be put in the CANsmart controller. I will be buying some other lights from Denali sometime in the future but for now, this is what I have.
Soo did you got your answer..... are clearwater compatible with hex ez can
@@atharva0777 Yes, they're compatible. They won't be plug and play, so you'll need to make an adapter, or cut the CANsmart's Light Extension Splitter down to bare wires. The only lights that won't be compatible are those with controllers inside. You can power pretty much any 12v accessory with the CANsmart or ezCAN.
I just finished adding a second Hex EZCan on my RT. Works same as CANsmart and as I programmed. I have Clearwater Aux lights as left/right so light turns off on side when using signal as well as Aux brake lights and phone powered on EZCan #1. On EZCan #2 I have some Cyclops lights that have Yellow halo lights. I am using the halo lights as running lights and additional turn signal flashers when turn signals activated on each side and the main LED spot lights as additional Aux lights when using high beams. Works as programmed, so many options with 2nd EZCan (CANsmart).
Did you have to splice anything when doing two?
Hey Bikething, I thorougly enjoy your videos! They go lovely lovely well with a cupper.
Excellent info, possible to have diagram draw for mentioned connection? 😀😁🙏 BTW: 30:59 should it say “plug that into Gen1 can smart”?
Ha yes! Well it’s kinda both as I’m attaching gen 1 to gen 2 or attaching gen2 to gen1. Same difference
Thanks Steve. I thought D4 was good enuf but after saw D7 on yours....I need it.🤗
be safe! be seen! to hell with the naysayers. come the day they're worth their weight in gold!
Exactly! Light that sucker up! If 2 lights are good then 6 are better!
Great Videos, how would this setup work with the new Pan America from Harley?
Hi,
I may have missed this on the video, but are both cansmarts wired to the battery?
Thanks John
John Bellamy yes absolutely.
Howdy. I figure I'll post this question here rather than emailing you for others who might be interested in the answer..
I'm going to do the double CanSmart this coming week. I've been wondering, however, if there is any use at all for the existing DRL wires when we replace the stock DRLs with DR2's. I'm assuming the stock wire is useless.. Do you remove these stock wires or leave them and tuck them somewhere? It would be amazing if these stock wires could be used to run the CanSmart connected lights.
Thanks for the great videos and thanks for being so good to reply to emails and posts from people-- it's a lot of work but shows amazing effort and concern for your audience!
- Cheers
Auto Genome Thanks for the great comments.
No you cannot use Bmw OEM wires and connections on the Can smart. If you are going to be getting rid of the OEM auxiliary lights and replacing them with some Denali aux lights I suggest you pull the OEM wires and plugs throughPlace a small plastic Ziploc bag over each plug, zip tie, then fasten up behind your fairing panels above your air intakes. My theory is if you decide to drown your bike in a river your engine will be flooded with water before the plugs get wet. 😀
Do you connect the CanSmarts to your computer wirelessly? Great video, another question could you have 3 linked together? 🤔
Love your windshield. Could you tell me which one is. Is it wunderlich? Thanks for your videos. They’re awesome.
Another great video steve. All the best
I Steve great idea. Thoughts on the indicators on as running lights. I think on some newer Hondas they do this.
Talk to you soon to discus an install
I'm working today on making those amber running light run at 10% but for the opposite side to switch off when indicating. Will involve using another circuit and I'm making an adapter with one way diodes. Hoping it works, if it does a short part two video will be coming soon.
@@ABIKETHING wow, interesting but getting complicated, maybe
COOL fantastic video keep them coming
Great video. Quick question, can the S4 be connected to Clearwater Canopener. I am currently using Clearwater setup with Canopener
Great update - thank you 🙏🏻
Sounds to me that need to make a unit with more channels. And can you please ask them to just add bluetooth to the cansmart units and do a mobile/tablet app for iOS and Android so we can tweak the settings from a mobile, on the fly. Seriously this whole microUSB and hooking it up with a laptop is so 2010.
I know, I’m constantly asking
how would you recommend if i have only one Gen2 with one pair of D4 and one pair of S4, denali sound bom, B6 tail light , wireless phone charger, dash cam and one marine socket 12V. the gen2 only has 4 circuit ,
D4 x1 circuit , S4 x 1 circuit, soundbom x 1 circuit, then can i share the last circuit for B6, wireless phone holder , dash cam and 12V marine socket? please advise thank you very much
Great informative video.. even when I don't as yet own a GS. However is it possible to install a set of basic Denali lights to a non cansmart machine?
Hi Steve!
Can I daisy-chain a hex ez-can and Denali cansmart on the same bike?
I got the GEN-I and a month later GEN-II was released for my "19 1250 GSA--dang, should have waited...So if you connect in tandem GEN-I & GEN-II with GEN-II as the last device to the Canbus, does system boots with the GEN-II as the controlling software? thanks for sharing
No. There’s no controlling software. They’re both independent. Plug in the gen1 and you see gen1 software. Plug in the gen2 and you see the gen 2 software.
i cant understand why you didnt program and conected the s4 to aux light 1 on the first can smart and the d7 to aux light 2 on the second can smart so that by holding the turn signal switch for 3 sec you will turn on and off only the aux light 1 ( s4 ) and by presing 3 times you will turn on and off only aux light 2 ( d7 ) i think you can also dim them sepertly from the wunder will by holding it to the right for aux 1 or to the left for aux 2 !
Hi Steve, ive just bought my second gen 2 ezcan from you to daisy chain my 2023 GSA. With my bike there no way to plug my 2nd ezcan back to the bike. It just has a blanking plug. Will it still work with one can pluged into the bike. Then plug the 1st and second cans together and the blanking plug on the 2nd. The location of the bikes plug has changed from my previous 2021 gs
Regards
Steve
So why do they not make a Cansmart with more circuits? Would be a lot easier.
Gen 3 maybe hey? !
Brilliant thank you chap
Fantastic Steve. Loved your videos. A question if I may...
R1250RT 2019
I have a GenI with D2, Horn and brake light in topbox. I recently upgraded to GenII and like the new options.
I wanted to add T3s. Installed but realised I needed a wiring harness (which I've ordered) to connect to the GenII.
Denali have advised (and looking at the diagram) I cant have all my original gear and the T3s (I think)
Your dual is a real option for me now as I still have my old GenI.
Do you have any ideas on the T3 instal or am I destined to follow your dual setup to get what I want.
Horn, brake light and D2 as driving lights only, with T3 as dual white driving and Amber on indicator.
Appreciate any feedback and thanks again...extremely helpful videos.
Im in Australia, otherwise I'd come visit :)
Hi Steve - great videos - I'm not too technical and would like you to set up my R1250GS with Denalli lights / horn / can smart - how much notice do you need for an appointment and how long would the average complete bike fitment take ? I'm a couple of hundred miles from you so wonder if I would need to book accommodation ? Cheers
What an excellent and clear vid... I was wondering about my current BMW "fog" lights, they only activate when the lights are on, so for daytime I have to activate all lights. Really need those to work alone with the "G" light and then have the D4s to complete the Christmas tree working automatically as the lights self activate as light levels lower. Maybe BMW can make that change, or maybe that's not possible... hmmmm. Anyway see you next Thursday... cheers.
Ah ha! I know who you are now
A BIKE THING haha brilliant. BTW mentioned you in my latest upload and linked to your website. Cheers.
A BIKE THING ohhh thinking about stuff can you get the Denali lights to work on a 2019 Harley? An interesting challenge.
Hi Steve 👍
I do not claim to know anything about electronics or the inner workings of a Can-Smart, I see in this video that you have daisy-chained the Can-Smarts together but this affects the adjustment of your lights because they share the same address.
Just a thought & curious 🤔🤔🤔 Would the system work if you put a Y splitter in & out of the two Can-Smart’s, I know it’s a lot more wiring as you will need 2 Y splitters, One from the bikes harness into the 2
Can-Smart’s and one from the Can-Smarts into the tyre pressure monitor, Like I said I know nothing about electronics it was just a thought 🤪🤪🤪
What ur suggesting is wiring in parallel as opposed to series. The answer is I don’t know but I’d image the Y splitters would be expensive . I don’t see why it wouldn’t work but there would be no change in how they operate
@@ABIKETHING So you think they would still fight against each other because they are sharing the same address 👍
Hi Steve how is going begin bars, I just received the new bundle of INNOVV 3K and the Hex ezcan with thie extension cables
I would love you to assist me , I have already installed the denali canmart II generation the bundle I got it was through a friend of my Mitzo sold by you
Thanks so much in advance
Luis
Great video. One question for you: My recollection was there was not much room when I ran just the wires for my D4s and Soundbomb under the tank. were you able to find room to fit the wiring for all three of those sets of Denali lights under the tank? Thanks!
What do you mean? There's loads of room! If you take the tank off and lay them down you'll be fine
How did you connect two cansmarts into the bikes single canbus port? Or does your BMW come with two canbus ports? Trying to do do this on my Ducati, but there’s only one canbus port
Daisy chain them together. On the Ducati you use the ezcan splitter which we sell on our website
What light can I put on my R1150Gs with thanks
Ah ha! Good talking on phone today!
Why not use one for the left then one on right then the bike controls will work
i realize this is like swearing in church but wonder if there are such systems for other brand and type of motorcycles?
Of course there are. Clearwater Lights come to mind. I believe they offer plenty of light options and their own canbus system. However, much, much more expensive (which hardly seems possible considering how much this Denali stuff costs!).
The main brands are BMW, Harley and KTM with Honda AT's on the way.
Steve food for thought, I have gen 1 brake light sound bomb d4 and INNOVV of it but really like the idea of adding a gen 2 and the additional indicators and having additional circuits for future upgrades. Plus I could put the d4 onto the gen 2 for more configurations. Can you email me a price for the indicator lights you have done brackets and a gen 2. Ta
Hi Richard, good job you use your name as your UA-cam handle. I recognise the name. I’ll be in touch soon with quote.
Can this work for a versus 1000 SE, 2022 model
Hey Steve, would it be possible to daisy chain 3 units? Great video, and thanks for all the great info
Yes, absolutely
@@ABIKETHINGhow do you daisy chain them?
When you’re daisy chaining two cansmarts are you still connecting the second cansmart directly to the battery?
Yes
im about to install rigid pro DSS lights on my 1250 GS. what alternative do you rec instead of the denali can smart? like a hex EZcan? is there a generic brand? are they a fuse box thats smart?
Ezcan is the main one. We sell these too. Ezcan make the cansmart for Denali.
Can you daisy chain 3 Cansmarts?
Hi! Is it possible to connect 2 denali cansmart on a 2018 ktm 1290 Super Adventure S?
Yes it is
Steve, Is it possible to have three levels set for the Denali reader light. 10% for running, 40% for fog and 80% for stop lights for instance?
Not currently
A similar option could option could apply to the D4 as when you turn on the fog lights to flood the ground you could choose to turn off the D4s because of the high beam element. I have proposed both these as a possible software upgrade to Denali.
By the way you followed me into Wollaston the other week.
Alan
Since you are on top of the hex products, maybe you can clear up an issue I have with my EZcan II. I installed on my Africa twin 21’ base the hex and direct plugged a soundbomb compact and when linked to my lap top I got the warning ⚠️ indicator. Clicked on it and it shows peak amperage for my sound bomb at 49 amps and during operation of the horn it measures 20-21 amps. Have you experienced this?
Clarification, the soundbomb is plugged into the 20 amp circuit.
This is normal. Max the amps on the circuit. 25amps but it’ll still peak at 45+
@@ABIKETHING thanks mate. Great videos. Thanks for getting back to me.
Who does installs in the US.?
Maybe reach out to Twisted Throttle in US
I send already a message in other video, but what about 1 cansmart + 1 hex ezcan? Can be daisy chain?
Im about to try this, but do you think is the same as you did here?
Hi, can I run a d4 and a s4 on circuit 2 on the cansmart gen 2
Hi... please! I got all my lights CANsmart but can’t find the software for me to download
The New Guy J.F.E. There’s a link to the software in the description of this video.
Hi great videos you have. May you can help me. I had d7’s on my r1250gs. It always turns off whenever i put it on 100%. And my right light turns off at 10% while my left light still on. Thanks
sounds like you haven;t paired them up properly and haven't got the fuse setting adjusted correctly
A BIKE THING got the fused adjusted and resolved the turning off issue. How do i pair them up correctly?
Great video how much for that configuration gsa 1200 adv lc
I need to put that bundle together don’t I? It’s basically a D7/D4 bundle for a gsa and then with another cansmart and D2’s with amber lenses added on. I’ll get on it shortly and post another short (I promise it’ll be short) video

How do you connect two cansmarts?
Just daisy chain them together.
@@ABIKETHINGmaybe I’m not being clear with what I’m asking… Do they just click in together (plug n play) or do I need to splice to put them together?
