Good question, I can't tell from the online docs on it.
For those that aren't aware of how the BMW can bus works (if youre on a BMW motorcycle forum, you probably do, but just in case!)
"Single Wire System and CAN bus
The BMW Motorrad Single Wire System (SWS) is an innovative, electronic vehicle wiring system for motorcycles. The data exchange is affected by means of CAN bus technology (Controller Area Network) via a single connection (thus the term Single Wire System), although in practice it is designed as a dual channel system. This vehicle electrical system offers a considerably larger range of functions compared to conventional systems in motorcycles, providing a significant reduction in wiring. Other advantages of this intelligent motorcycle electrical system are weight reduction in the wiring harness, increased functional reliability and full diagnosis capacity."
