Hi Garry,Can bus? Errrrrrrrrmmm? What's that? 😕Cheers,Mike
In classic wiring systems, power is delivered to separate components by wires, switches, relays, and (sometimes) timers. The intelligence of the system is largely contained in the way that the wiring connects the relatively simple components.The Controller Area Network (CAN) is an automotive standard and is not BMW-specific but BMW started using it their bikes from around 2005. I think the first was the 1200GS. It’s basically a pair of wires that provide a data network between modules. The data pathways (physical wiring, generally) used by the CAN are sometimes also referred to as the CAN-bus. The control modules (like ZFE, BMS-K, and I-Cluster, plus ABS and DWA, if present) use the CAN-bus to communicate with each other.Now I just sound like a geek - basically if you bike is older than late 2004 you won’t have a Can bus system.
