Hi Teo, as explained in the video, some cheaper ones wont work, the LX is the cheapest OBD reader that works I could find, hope this helps, stay safe.
can i ask, do u need to pay the app for reset and clean code ??
Hey up Johnny_623, to change anything on your bike you will need to pay for the app, the free version only lets you read certain things, follow the link in the description and you will be able to see what level is suitable for you, ride safe, Simon B 👍
@@SIMONB1 ohh i see , thx u for the tips and noted
Hi....can i use OBDLink bluetooth to reset BMW GS 1250 adv? thanks
Hi, it doesn't show on the motoscan website that the 1250 is supported at the moment ☹️
Hi, I just used it to reset my 1250 GSA
Where is the link to where you purchased it
Hey up Reg, all in the description below, all the links are there 👍, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Hi sir nice one you have. Is this software able to read my bmw r18 2020
Hey up Erlan, looking at the website I'd doesn't show it supports the R18, if you mail then they will get back to you with an answer, safe riding, Simon B 👍
Hi just seen this is this the same setup for a 2012 gs ?
Hi Malcolm, just looked on the motoscan site, it doesn't show that a 2012 bike is supported, I believe it's only for the LC model and above
@@SIMONB1 thank you very much for quick response
Malcolm after some digging, the motoscan software does support the 2012 model of the oil head 👍
@@SIMONB1 thank you very much for doing that 👍
Very informative thank you. Just bought a 2017 R1200GS, very happy with it. Checked out the OBD Link LX, but it's not compatible with iphone! That's a bummer, as a lot of BMW bikers use Apple. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Mark, Amsterdam.
Hi mark, get a cheap android phone or borrow one, or come over to the dark side and bin the IPhone 😏😯, stay safe 👍
It may work with a laptop
Get the MX+ version. It’s more expensive but works with iPhone
But the motoscan app only works with android 🤔 ?
@@SIMONB1 well that’s not good
Can it change the computer from mph to km
Hey up Matthew, what bike and year are you wanting to change ?
Hi Simon have you managed to calibrate the ESA with motoscan?
Hey up Mark, I've not needed to as I haven't had a problem with it, but it's possible to this, connect to the ZFE control unit and go into service functions, hope this helps, hope you've subscribed ,stay safe, Simon B 👍
Simon, a very helpful post ...one question, does this unit permit an ABS brake bleed function? Thanks
Hi there gunga din, I believe the pro/ top version does, I think I read it on their website, stay safe 👍
Will this work with a Microsoft Tablet?
Hey up Dan, only if it runs on a Android operating system 😁, ride safe, Simon B 👍
can you remove with moto-scan the speed indication limiter of 299km/h from s1000rr too?
For that sort of info, you would need to email motoscan, they are very helpful and will be able to answer , ride safe , Simon B 👍
Can you convert km/h to mph or the other way around with MOTOSCAn ?
Hey up. What bike would that be for ?
Bmw s1000rr
@@Mirekn2413 TFT screen ? If so you can do that in the settings on the bike 👍
@@SIMONB1 And for a GSA from 2014? Actually I read a lot of forum posts and searched the internet for a solution but nothing so far...
@tametix the easiest way is to have the sat nav 5/6 on its mount and change that over to kmh , it's the only way due to the analogue speed guage 😎, ride safe Simon B 😎
Hi Simon, love your vids.. Keep em coming. Can you advise what you had to purchase as well as the OBD LX and lead... For some reason I cannot reset my service light with the app... Cheers Mark
Hi Mark you need to buy the motoscan software/ app, and get at least the pro version that's 30 euro 👍
Hi,can u change the miles to km also with this obd? Thx
On what bike ?
@@SIMONB1 gs 1200 2015
The clock is analog isn't it ?, You won't have a TFT ?, You can change it on the nav, so you heads hu display would be in KPH, if you have a TFT, you do that in settings 😁, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍
@@SIMONB1 analog yes,lcd screen,can’t change from there,i have no sat nav yet. I read somewhere is big job to change and mostly dealer can do it 🤷♂️ i live in Ireland but my bike from UK. Here have km/h.
Just had a look at the motoscan, nothing available on the pro version,it may be available on the premium version, email motoscan, they will be able to tell you more 😁
Hi budy,do you have experience with instalation motoscan app on another phone?I did it,and it is not posible do coding on the new phone..any ideas?🙄
Hey up , not had a problem I've just changed my phone again and running on xaiomi hyper OS system, I've had no problems, have you got the full version ?, I'd message Moto scan and ask them, hope you get sorted, ride safe Simon B 😎
Thanks for the video. Just the information I was looking for as I just purchased the OBDlink MX+. I am totally intrigued by the seat cover on your GS. Would you tell me about it?
Hey up Dan, the covers on the seats are a copy of "cool covers" these enable air flow to keep your rear end cool, these were off eBay about £15, they do work, hope that helps, thanks for dropping a comment, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Great video !!! Would resetting the service light have any bearing on the manufacturer warranty?
Hi Reli Tal, if your bike was still in warranty I wouldn't recommend this, as said at the beginning of the video, my bike is out of warranty 👍, stay safe
Good afternoon. I'm here in Brazil and I like your channel. I have the elm327 scanner. does motoscam final version sera wue run on it?
Hey up Henry, nice place to live 😁, looking at it the software would , but the scanner might not communicate with the bike, take a look at the motoscan website, it has a page on recommend obd scanners, hope this helps, ride safe, Simon B
thanks. good winds. and parabens for the channel
I cannot get my OBD LX to talk to my bike.
Hey up bager, have you got the bike turned on ?
hi simon will this work on 2017 s1000r
Hi Brian, according to the website, it will 👍
@@SIMONB1 thank you have now reset just to say my bike is a 2017 and the obd link plugs straight into my bike no need for the adaptor
@@brianjohnson6846 that's great, glad I could of helped.
Legend!!
Me or you 😁, thanks for dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe Simon B 👍
Looks like MotoScan is not available on Apple phones. If it is I'm missing something.
Hey up Jim S, no motoscan is only available for Android, apple users have bought a cheap android phone to run the app on, ride safe, Simon B 👍
@@SIMONB1 Okay, thanks
Cheers very helpful
Hi Ed, thanks for the positive feedback 👍
I'm back again after a year, I set the service notification again today, and what a twat it was, It took ages to connect and then when it did it after I clicked on the service option it said that I only had the lite version of the motoscan app so I went in the house and looked in the upgrade section and it said that I had the professional version already purchased so I went out and had another go and it worked, but one thing to know is that it told me to go onto BT1 on the connection options instead of automatic.
It can be very temperamental can the Bluetooth and motoscan, just do what you did try again 👍, thanks for dropping a comment, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Are you near Manchester mine needs doing ?
Lake District, south Cumbria 👍
halo great video. i just want to check with you how purchase license from motorscan software?
Hey up Augustine, there is a link in the description, this takes you to motoscan, you can download it from there 👍, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍
good one thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
Has doing this ever damaged your bike? I want to change my own oil.
This will never damage your bike, it's a obd app, that also does diagnosis , ride safe Simon B 😎
Can you use this system to change from miles to km ??
Hey up NATE Ryan, which bike are we talking about ?
@@SIMONB1 sorry about that I got so caught up in watching the video I forgot to mention the BMW r1200gs 2017 model with the old style clocks ?
Hey up NATE, I don't believe you can as it's got analogue clocks, if you have a nav 5/6 you can change it on there, and use it as a heads up display, that's what I do when over in Europe, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Thanks
Hey up Raphael, glad to be of help, guessing you have a GS and service yourself ?
Can you use an iphone or must it be an android? Like to do this but only have iPhone! Thanks
At the moment the motoscan software is only available on Android ☹️
@@SIMONB1 Many thanks. Bought a second hand Samsung, the kit you suggested and followed your film! Apart from the odd hiccup have now reset the service light! Thank you!!
@@helensmith9863 awesome, gald I could of been of help, stay safe 👍
Hi mate. I wondering about ULTIMATE license for 49.99 euro, and how long it lasts? Thanks
Hey up bounty Hunter, it is a lifetime license, also it can be used in different bikes 👍
@@SIMONB1 Thank you for fast respons mate. Regards from sweden.
My dealer reset mine for free while it was in for recall work.
Hey up Martin, that's nice of them, not like a main dealer to do something for nothing 😲, ride safe Simon B 😎
My dealer is great. But I have bought 3 bikes from them and now I'm almost a poor divorcee.. Cheers Simon.
Again, but without the obnoxious into music...
Hey up gosolobox, bit more detail please as I'm lost 👍
@@SIMONB1 even my 7yo son was yelling “turn it off!” Lol. You should remove it from the end also…
@@gosolobox this video was made 2 years ago, things have changed you should have a look at them they are even worse 😉
@@SIMONB1 LOL. It's a great video otherwise! Ride safe..
There was a compliment in there, thanks for watching, ride safe , Simon B 👍
moto scan funcioniert nicht
Hey up, you'd be surprised that motoscan does work, ride safe Simon B 😎
£85 now. NO THANKS
Hey up Robert, you could always buy the GS 911 scan tool for £250 😲, the obdlx are available second hand on eBay, or get a couple of mates and invest in one, a dealer would charge £60 to get rid of a service light, just a note the motoscan does more than the service light 😉, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Please tell the BRAND of motorcycle. Everyone is not a motorhead.
Hey up Edwin, which motorcycle are you wanting the brand of ?
