Steve, you’re awesome. You take these these somewhat confusing topics and make them understandable for a simple guy like me. I have a 2020 Honda Africa Twin. I am really excited about getting a CANbus. Thank you!!!! I’m devoted to your channel and your sponsorship of these products. I’ll be on the look out for the Hex

@steveaustin1820 2 года назад

Good stuff Steve...it's been your reviews that made me go with a lot of the mods on my 2021 GSA Rallye...having more offroad country here in British Columbia crashing and cosmetic mods speak for themselves...functionality which you address...thinking of new rotors this winter...stock don't clean themselves when really dirty.

@wadeblake3451 2 года назад

Certainly appreciate your expertise. Best explanation for old riders like me who know nothing about electrical connections but ride new can bus based bikes.

@rsolomon1962 2 года назад

Steve, great video. Very informative! I subscribed. Just a comment. I installed the Denali Sound-bomb (1 pc unit) on my KTM 1290 SA-T using their mounting kit. Denali’s kit utilizes the stock horn button on the KTM and bypasses the OEM horn. 🤷🏽‍♂️. BTW…KTM has NO room under the seat for a PDM or anything else. This install required a “canister delete mod” (Rottweiler). And now there is plenty of space for additional wiring, fuse blocks or a PDM. Thanks again👍🏼👨🏽‍🚒

@MotorbikeHamster 3 года назад

Hi Steve. The cansmart system has been great allowing the fitting of all Manor of things and the list is growing. I also have the Denali Powerhub 2 fitted. I like this due to the screw terminals. But think a version with the bluetooth function of the Amplink would be cool.

Just want to add a small note to let "the inmates" aware of the ezcan,had a gen2, bought from nippy normans ,(not bought from your good sel)fitted on my bike for just over 2 years-worked flawlessly up until a week ago when it went completely dead when I was out on it,no power light,not able to communicate with laptop to reset/re install software, and very little help from the reseller,took to the "great God Google to research this problem and it seems like its quite a regular occurrence with the units and low and behold if you are past your two year warranty,tough luck, you'll have to buy a new one.......if I'd have known two years ago that there is the possibility of failure when out,and left at the side of the road with no sat nav/heated gear/lights and no backup other than to buy a new unit I wouldn't have wasted my hard earned money,I know I'm going to get replys about the age of my unit,but it's a current gen 2 model with up to date software,kept in a dry environment bike on battery tender all the time ,so should I have to fork out a few hundred pounds every few years ????.....anyway make your own minds up but beware !!!!!!

@tvmothiba6180 3 года назад

Great video! I hv an ezCan fitted on my gs1250, 7months now and works like a charm! With the bluetooth functionality, do u think we could have functions like opening my garage door or remote gate to my house using the wonder wheel on the bike? Ps Proud of Stephan for flying our flag high!

@Davfon23 2 года назад

Very cool news. Very glad for you. Do you know if with the can smart you can make you main headlight low beam stay off. I have a Chinese after market led headlight with C-shapped DRL on my F700GS and it would be very cool to be able to program somehow the low beam to stay off during tbe day and just keep the DRL plus auxiliary lights on, just for the looks. Thanks!

@notnowfrank 3 года назад

That clears that up then.. Thanks. I'd like done installs on my gsa, can I book it in and get an overnight nearby if necessary?

@bulletcom 3 года назад

My 0.02 on app features Steve is profiles. Summer/Winter mode as an example - so in Winter mode an output configured to control heated gear using the heated grips switch. In Summer mode this output not likely to be used, so could be wired for something else like a 12v output for an air pump for inflating camp beds as an example, controlled by the ignition. I have mine set this way and have to plug in twice a year to change the output configuration. Might be useful especially here in blighty where summer can be cold to have the option to switch the output config over 'on the fly' with the app. Hope this makes sense!

@allanapplin250 3 года назад

Awesome news!! And another good informative video. I bought some Denali gear from you a while back to fit on my Honda Africa Twin 2020 model. Was thinking about adding an Amplink ... but now will wait for the ezCAN. Are these new ones going to be Version 3 with Bluetooth already built in? PS I have SW motech geear including Pro magnetic tank bags ... seems we have similar taste with bike accessories! :)

@ABIKETHING 3 года назад

No mention of a gen3 version.

@robertbradford377 2 года назад

Some additional functionality for the Bluetooth link... it would be great to disable the sound bomb horn. For roadways... it’s great. But doing a friendly greeting - would be nice to have the option to tone it down a little. The other thing I would consider is a “parade mode”. Let the lights flash, blink, strobe, etc to show off a bit while traveling at low speed.

@TheFbiFilesRepeat 5 дней назад

You are not supposed to greet people with the horn so thats an awful idea.

@sejtam 2 года назад

What would be nice is some form of general BT controller that can be added to the handbar and send BT commands to the controller to implement custom functions of functions that the standard controllers can not trigger. (one does not want to necc have to use the phone for this. Further to that, a function to integrate Android's TASKER app to the BT controller so that Tasker can reacht tp feedback from the EXcan and trigger EXCAN functions

@grantbuchanan8001 2 года назад

Hi Steve. Can smart is great and gives amazing options. It would be nice to have an option that allows the auxiliary lights (D4s in my case)to strobe continuously say when you activate the bright light switch on my 1200 Gsa. Three flashes gives you 3 strobes which in my opinion isn’t enough. Thanks

@safdarlodi 2 года назад

If u disconnect the horn then with horn switch u get continuous strobe but then no horn 😔

@user-kf8rd2fu4p 7 месяцев назад

Steve, regarding the Bluetooth dongle. It would be great if the phone app would have two or three “favourites” options. That is to say when you set up your configuration for all your accessories you can save to favourites. You could then set up an alternative configuration and save to favourites (2). Would be very handy and quick to open the app and select a favourite configuration. Why? Well maybe different set ups for night and day, sunny or overcast, winter or summer. Cheers.

Hi Steve, I have a Denali Cansmart and a HexEZcan fitted to my 1250 gs, to operate my D4’s D2’s, sound bomb and aux brake light, brilliant right? Unfortunately, I cannot make any sense of how to operate the fitted kit. I’ve connected the laptop multiple times only to end in frustration. The bike is second hand from Pidcocks and the system was already fitted. It was Wayne at Pidcocks who suggested I message you to ask for some advice. Cheers 👍

Great news! Any way to control the factory driving lights on the GSA other than ON or OFF? Maybe an option in the app? Would love a way to dim or adjust them for day and night riding!

@ABIKETHING 3 года назад

Hi, you’re asking for something which is not connected to the ezcan to be controlled by it. That’s not how this works. The ezcan reads the canbus so when you put your lights on the ezcan knows and can then power up auxiliary lights. I’m not saying it’s not possible to control the factory lights but this would require cutting your factory bmw plugs off so we can utilise the wires entering the back of the factory lights and connect the ezcan up to them.

@keithc9765 3 года назад

I notice a PDM60 circuit programmed to have switched power actually “bleeds” 6 volts of power when the bike is off. This caused some problems with the switched power connection to my alarms. So, I used an available ezCAN accessory circuit programmed to switched. That solved that problem. However, using the D7 harness with the cansmart, I’m seeing some flickering on the right light which is programmed only for high beams. I’m wondering whether this is a voltage bleed issue? Lastly, for the amplink, do you still have to disconnect the battery to program as with the pdm60, or does the Bluetooth program while live?

@ABIKETHING 3 года назад

Flickering, squirt wd40 down all the connections. This is becoming a common issue where the slightest of moisture is forming within the plugs causing the flickering. Wd40 is proving to be the saviour. Bluetooth on AmpLink is activated on initial start up of bike. If you access it then itll stay on if you don’t access itll switch off after a set time.

With Hex if two heated jackets are used, each has three temp settings (low,med,high) so can these two jackets be controlled via the wonder wheel? Thanks

@DakarBlues 2 года назад

Wouldn't the 2 jackets share those settings? Anyway it depends on how its configured. I myself configured a warm safe heated liner to map the settings of the heated grips, saving on the purchase of a $140 dual controller. For the gloves though, I plugged a Y-splitter to the battery, they are KEIS, with their own button/controller. I have to plug two leads instead of one, but it heats up good.
