Take the seat off our bkes and we see the MoDiTeC terminal. As part of a dealer service they are supposed to interrogate the fault code memory.
As someone who has a budget where they prefer to service the bike myself, I find I can do all parts of the service apart from check for stored fault codes.
Is there a way for the home mechanic to interrogate the fault store like we can on many other bikes and cars?

I hoped that the minimal charge would be nowt.
And be able to be performed at home in my garage.
perhaps someone has already looked into this already.
Further to my R1150R, is it true that the new bikes like the R1200ST have a system wher a light pops up when a service is due and the only way to turn it off is to take it to the BMW dealer?

I found the mentioned code reading procedure. It's for R1100 engines with Motronic 2.2 , prolly not too unlike our version 2.4 Motronic. It's explained in detail on page 71 of this Maintenance manual: http://www.ibmwr.org/r-tech/oilheads/R1 ... -25-02.pdf
They explain how to make the pretty cool and very simple MoDiTec LED code reader, without it's necessary enclosure project "box", shown in the pic below:
