BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

I just installed a new Westco battery and when I turn on the ignition key the computer display goes thru its normal cycling and it displays a message "09:2011" and then displays the current odometer reading. Does anyone know what the message "09:2011" means?

Thanks for any help.

It's most likely when your next service is due.

I checked with the dealer and he verified that it is when my next service is due.
I do my own service and I never noticed the message before.

Thanks for the help.

You heard about the GS-911 diagnostic tool? It's advertised as an electric wrench and will clear your service reminder.

Actually - I'm pretty sure it's a biblical warning about the next coming (or end of ages.. or something..)

There are billboards around my area claiming the end is near - about 2 months away. Just when I get retired.. gonna be a very short retirement.

Good time to go buy that new 1600 BMW on credit!!

I have one and it works great. I have the blue tooth (communication with my smart phone) / usb cable type.

Looks like a handy tool, especially using a smart phone on road trips. Not inexpensive though. Where is the 3 pin connector on an R1200R to hook this up to?

Through the diagnostic port — it's the cylinder-shaped plastic piece underneath the seat.
