*DING* We have a winner! 
All CanBus bikes (05-current) require a dealer-only serivce computer to adjust/reset certain things. On the pre-iABS GS'es, ABS II can be bled by simple vacuum bleeders, and doesn't need a computer. There are 'tricks' to bleed an iABS bike without the service computer, but you still need the special service funnel to do the job correctly. The F800 is proving to be as solid and reliable as the 'old school' BMWs, excepting some trivial teething pains regarding the charcoal canister and other 'simple stuff'.
