How does one cancel the Service Warning Light? I just had all the oils done and the light stays on. It wasn't done at a dealer.
The only way to reset the service indicator is to have the dealer do it or purchase a GS911 tuner or a Motoscan app (Android Only) for your phone with an OBDII bluetooth adaptor and reset it yourself.

"I bought one of these to reset my MX light: https://www.cgsulitstore.com/produc...-tool-motorrad-obd2-scanner-cgsulit-sc530-pro

Relatively cheap ($139), easy to use, doesn’t require Bluetooth or internet. Plug it in to the OBD port and the bike battery powers the unit. No licenses to buy. Does everything a garage mechanic could want. Reads codes, resets codes, etc. No limit to the number of times you can use it per VIN. It also didn’t interfere with my Bren Tune. I looked at the GS911 about a year ago and it seemed ridiculously cumbersome to set up and use and expensive for what it is. The Motoscan solution seemed equally cumbersome. Because of the cost and the hassle I’ve just been riding the bike with the idiot light on. When I discovered this unit I figured it was worth $139 to give it a try. So far so good. This CGSULIT unit I bought was a 1/3 the price and much simpler to use. Just plug it in to use it. Highly recommend. It is a BMW specific reader. Won’t work on other bikes but they have models specific to other brands."

That does look really handy ... no phone and /or tablet needed ... can it do additional things like enable/disable cruising lights ... enable/disable additional driving lights ... maintenance reset ... speed limiter/rev limiter? ... just curious, I own a GS-911 and am very happy with it ... but a hand held unit would be nice to keep in the bags on trips ...
