IMPORTANT !! Update on my first real use of the App and adapter on the bike. I can so far do the following:- Read/Reset error codes on ECU, Dash and ABS unit. Perform Control functions of various electronic Ecu controlled items such as Fuel Pump, Fan, Injectors, Stepper Motor etc. Record Live data on all input and output parameters of the Ecu both when stationary and whilst on the road. At the moment I have not been able to work out how to do the Fuelling adaptation, TPS and Idle actuator resets. I have emailed the support at the software developers to find out how if possible to do it. Will keep you all posted.
These are the MOST important functions....looking forward to hearing how you go. My OBD Link should be here Monday .
Pissed off is how i would describe it...... Email back from developer says these functions are not yet available !! So until he makes it available I am back to fault diagnosis and basic resets only. Strange that on a BMW bike you can do everything, but not yet on a Husqvarna BMS-E set up.
Thats on the nose!, his web does not suggest that....poor form in my book. Did you pay him...? Has he given a time frame for completion?
The developer site indicates it does even less for the BMSE on the 650 GS/X models, R13 is the model designation for the GS Engine control unit BMSE R13 ID Read error codes Delete error codes They dont list Service Functions for any of the BMSE equipped models, Service Functions are the device test routines
Further info from the developer when I asked if and when it would be available... We are constantly updating the software. My mistake was when I checked the functionality on the website prior to buying, I read 'Actuators Control' and assumed it to mean I could at least do the TPS and Idle Actuator, but it does not. It means I can control Fan, Fuel Pump, Injectors etc. Still, being able to diagnose faults if i am out on a longer ride without my Laptop is a positive. At least I can get to fix things if needed.
Actuators is important but "adaptions" is vital and this is where Motoscan is missleading us for now and hope in the short term they get included see below. https://www.motoscan.de/motorsteuerung-kwp/ Engine control unit BMS-EID Read error codes Delete error codes Real-time data Actuators control https://www.motoscan.de/ (the info below has not displayed well, best you click the link) FREELitefree ID Yes Read error codes 1** Delete error codes No Show parameters 2 ** Actuators act 2 ** adaptations No Service intervals Show only*** Service functions No Coding ECUs Show only*** DOWNLOADENTHUSIASTbasic14,99 EUR * ID Yes Read error codes Yes Delete error codes Yes Show real-time data Yes Actuators act 2 ** adaptations No Service intervals Show only*** Service functions No Coding ECUs Show only*** DOWNLOADSCREWDRIVERSprofessional29,99 EUR * ID Yes Read error codes Yes Delete error codes Yes Show real-time data Yes Actuators act Yes adaptations Yes Service intervals Yes Service functions No Coding ECUs Show only*** DOWNLOADPREMIUMUltimate49,99 EUR * ID Yes Read error codes Yes Delete error codes Yes Show real-time data Yes Actuators act Yes adaptations Yes Service intervals Yes Service functions Yes Coding ECUs Yes
So I got by OBDLink LX and plugged it into Motoscan "lite" and here are some screen shots and yes you can do f*rk all, but it did identify my bike which was good.
I asked Motoscan when adaption reset and idle actuator calibration will be available and got quick reply: Yes, it will be added, but at the moment I can not say when. Best Regards -- Dipl.-Ing.

I'm going to point out to Motoscan their web is miss leading as it stands and they should amend or cough up...
This is really, really interesting. Kudos to Mark_H for taking the plunge and the others following on his trail. I'll probably wait until the Ultimate version becomes veritable. Before that, can anyone confirm that the motoscan can show the AFR from the lambda in real time?
Im pretty sure the bike does not have obd2 so you need the icom d cable to go from the bike to the obd2 scanner
Correct, the bike does not have a standard OBD2 connector, it has a BMW ICOM D instead, although the protocols are the same. Cable is indeed needed to go from round Female Icom D to square(ish) female OBD2 connector.
Hey Mark, thanks for your help, hope soon I can get the hole rig to do the motoscan on my Strada. Cheers
dont get excited, I got the gear got it connected but it does nothing, pissed me off. Has there been any change to this anyone...?
Ok when I last tried (above) I could link with bike ok, but the software is not complete and you cant do anything. I emailed the dev. and he was f'n useless...so I tossed it into the corner in disgust and have not gone back...has something changed...? I'll try mine again when I get a chance.
Mark Mark, excellent work! I do see quite a few references to doing this in some of the Amazon reviews for the BMW ICOM D cables using Motoscan. I was looking at this cable that had good reviews on Amazon. It's a short one like WGSoft offers. Question, can you reset the service minder? It's all worth if if you can do the TPS and Idle actuator resets and still pretty valuable to do the service minder reset plus read/clear error codes.
