May 5, 201412 yr I sent a message to Lewissport about the cables, but have not gotten a response for price or avaliability. If they give the software with it, then that is great! Mark
May 5, 201412 yr I got a reply from BTwice that the dealer does give you the software with the cables, interest level is now back up, just need to find out the price, hopefully not too silly

July 13, 201412 yr Keep an eye on the Lewisport page for a new, reasonably priced option. I head that hopefully in 2-3 weeks. When I get it, I'll post up full details. Mark
August 20, 201610 yr I'm having some difficulties with my 2012 Ossa 280i and would appreciate being able to 'look inside' with the K-Scan that is mentioned in my Workshop Manual. Does anyone know if K-Scan is still available? Does is it work? Adrian at Lewisport suggested sending in my ECU. This is my only option at this point. I would rather be riding. Please help. Phildirt
August 20, 201610 yr Yes it works, and in my opinion is essential for keeping these bikes running tip top
August 21, 201610 yr Certainly the software is avaliable, getting the cables is more difficult right now it seems. I got some from Trials and Tribulations that wokrs great. What is your location?
August 24, 201610 yr Adrian at Lewisport has told me the the earlier versions of ECU need to be re-flashed by a company in Spain in order to be able to upload the newer software version (2012 falls into this catagory). He now has a few of those re-flashed ECU's so the newest maps can be loaded into them, it may be a matter of sending the old one to get a re-flashed one (core exchange). As to the B-twice cables he has/had a few but refuses to sell them due to issues, said that 2 out of 5 caused the connected computer to crash so didn't want to be responsible for problems that came about due to their use. Not sure what he personally uses to link up but he did my 2012 about 1 1/2 months ago with no issues, just a quick TPS check/set and everything was all better.
August 24, 201610 yr Adrian probably uses the official ossa version as a dealer/importer for the brand he would have been supplied with them
August 30, 20169 yr Does anyone know if any riders at SactoPits have the SW and cable? I am wondering if I went to an event I could get a quick check and then compete in an event ;-) LS can be difficult to get to as they are Mon-Thu I think
August 30, 20169 yr I'm in Michigan USA. The ambient temperature has cooled and it's really running quite well now (except for the lack of bottom end which I'm used to). That may indicate my air temp sensor is not quite right. Adrian suggested I send in for the re-flash. I think since it's ridable now, I'll wait and do that when there's snow on the ground. If it was affordable and reliable though, I sure would like to be able to 'self diagnose' as I can all my autos. Phildirt
August 31, 20169 yr I agree. I will never buy another bike that requires proprietary SW and HW just to set the idle... I just got mine set, but took it to the mountains and doesn't run good.
September 2, 20169 yr On adjusting the idle, I heard both "you can" and "you can't". I called up Adrian and he said you can adjust it w/o the SW or changing the TPS. Maybe only minor adjustment? Don't know. I did mine today and seemed to work fine. I am bringing it to the mountains and am hopeful that it will run good! --- To adjust it, you use a 7mm wrench to loosen the nut on the throttle anchor stop (right side). With the nut loose, you use needle nose pliers to move out the threaded bolt to adjust the "stop" in/out...so that the throttle really just doesn't close. Very mechanical ;-)

I am wondering if I went to an event I could get a quick check and then compete in an event ;-) LS can be difficult to get to as they are Mon-Thu I think Adrian is organizing the next trial at Bear Valley. Contact him and ask him to bring the PC to reset your bike. He did mine at the last trial. 5 minutes tops.
