A friend of mine and I just installed the Brake Modulator LED (BVBLM-LED) on my 2010 R1200GS and I have some tips I'd like to share with you all.
  • The tail light wire is gray/red
  • The brake light wire is gray/black
  • Initially we wired it up to run modes, 2,3, or 4 and all seemed to work OK until we'd buttoned everything up and I was headed off. At this point I saw the yellow triangle "fault" indicator on the instrument panel and the panel also indicated that the rear tail light was out. So we went back into the wiring and rewired it according to the instructions for mode 1. The fault light and message disappeared.

    Lesson learned: The 2010 R1200GS cannot be wired to run in mode 2,3, & 4 without it triggering a fault code in the canbus.

    BikeVis, you might want to note that in your installation instructions for the GS and this model of modulator.

Hi

Many thanks for the info, I've passed this onto our modulator guru at SMiDSY for his thoughts on the install.

Stay tuned
