1250RS Software Version Thread

[Grumpy Goat]

If it helps, mine was in for service a couple of weeks ago and I had them upgrade to the latest firmware (023_011_060 from the _141 version). It starts up *much* faster but I haven't found any other differences.

I dropped by the dealer one day recently after doing my 60k mile service and bumped into their master technician at the parts counter. He offered to check the level of my clutch fluid and top me up if needed saving me the trouble of buying a bottle of mineral oil just to do that. While outside he also offered to check my bike to see if there are any firmware updates. Must have been a slow day. He then came back and said that there were some and that there was a chance that it could be updated in 5 minutes or several hours, but that once started it shouldn't be aborted and they were an hour away from closing. I gave him the go-ahead and went on to test a pre-owned Triumph Tiger 1200 while I waited (it drove like a bus). Anyway, when I came back, he said the update was done and that I was good to go. All of this for no charge! He must have been bored and slow on work but then when I asked him what all the bikes were doing on one half of the yard, he said they were all there for service. So, I figured he must be overwhelmed with the work and mine was a nice and easy fix! 

Bike didn't start or feel any different. It was already running like a top and with the winter gas it was starting easily / immediately and on the first try ... unlike on the summer blend. The colder the better with my RS.
