My Gen 1 1290 SDGT has thrown a "Preload Adjuster Failure" code again.
I got it reset at the dealers and it worked 2 or 3 times before doing it again. I've convinced myself that it's because the threads on the shock are gummed up / corroded, so I've bought myself the "European" version of the ODBPROG Moto 100 scan / reset tool. On paper it covers pretty much all the KTM range - My bike is definately in the model list.
I've yet to try it on the bike, but thought I'd post a few details here as I go through the process
Model - OBDDIAG Moto 100
Cost £400 - (from Ebay seller EUTool18)
Coverage - KTM Ducati BMW Yamaha Honda Suzuki etc
It arrived in about 5 days, Looks to be well made, no carry case - but a decent box & foam packing. Theres the unit, charger / power supply and a decent library of brand specific connectors with it.
Got it out & switched on. It's basically an android tablet, touch screen, rechargeable battery powered.
First job it to get it connected to WiFi (simple enough) and then set up registration / log in with the manufacturer (China - looks fairly professional, but I would not be re-using my "bank" password here !).
Next up, an operating system update (1 button, "accept" and a small / quick file download - 3 mins total, easy)
Then a look around the menus. Mild panic, no lists of bike makers / models as shown in the manual / blurb. 5 mins to work out that that's another update process, so found the menu, clicked "All" (as in all models possible) and set it off. This is a much bigger job - 850mb / 32 files and took about 3 hours (my wifi is very fast - I suspect their server not so). I flapped it bit because there's not much to show its working, but one of those times when patience is the best option.
So, at this stage that's where I am. Unit charged, Software Loaded, Hundreds of bike models showing in the menus (including my '17 1290 SDGT and '22 690SMCR) and I'm ready to try it on the 1290 in anger. Watch this space.
