Break in rev limit?

[BSR-1]

I've already searched but can't find the info.

The dealer wants me to pay 200 for the 600 miles service so they can remove the break in rev limit.

What's the trick? Can't be too hard.

trick is simple........... ride it as specified for the first 600 miles and then go get the service done, and stop being cheap ............good luck

They actually do more than just remove the limiter. As far as you removing it by your lonesome good luck with that, I have yet to see anyone accomplish that. They use the computer to "unlock" it. What is included in the $200 is

(+) Setting service-due date and countdown distance
(+) Deleting limit for running-in rpm
Deleting limit for running-in rpm (with GT1 or SSS)
Start the CIP program.
Select the series.
Switch to the "Vehicle" mode.
If necessary, click on "Start update" to acknowledge the status report, accept the measures plan and click on "Conclude" to close the final report.
Select the "Maintenance" menu.
Select the "Delete nENG max" submenu.
Run the measures plan, read through the final report and click on "Conclude" to close.
Terminate the CIP session.
Delete the limit for running-in rpm (with ISTA/P)
Delete the limit for running-in rpm as follows:
Start the session.
At the "Have control units been replaced?" prompt, click on "No".
Switch to the "Vehicle" mode.
Select the "Vehicle actions" menu.
Select the "Delete nENG max (rpm limiter)" option.
Select "Compute measures plan".
Accept the measures plan and read through the final report.
Terminate the session.

(+) Reading fault memory with BMW Motorrad diagnostic system

You actually can remove the rev limiter yourself if you have a GS-911 tool. Hard Racing on the forum sells em.

[AL BEANS]

Is just removal of the limiter or full rom refresh with the gs tool 1000?

i paided 141 plus tax for my 600mile. Included Amsoil oil change also.

The most important part of that service is adjusting the steering head nut.

I choose to spend my money wisely.
If I can do the work myself and save the money for something else that I'd rather have, I'd call that smart.
You can call it whatever you want.

The 600 mile service was $262.

The 6,000 mile service was $325, which included oil & brake fluid changed and new air filter.

Labor is $100 per hour at this shop seems a little high to me. Both repairs were done in a California BMW shop.
