davebike 943 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I cannot see any mention so hopping not to be repeating I just been playing you can get a Honda bike OBD port plug to standard (AS car and Triumph ) lead added a OBD2 bluetooth adapter £5 on the bay of fleas ! and Torque pro and vola lots of real time data I was interested in voltage and engine temperature Works with most modern Android phones and of course access to fault codes 2 Link to post
Defender 3,838 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 That's an interesting question, I have a ScangaugeII OBDII reader in my cars, I know they are able to decode the information from different manufacturers, I've used them on BMW, Ford, Honda (Cars) and Land Rover, but would it'd convert the Honda motorcycle code? I would need an adaptor lead to convert the four pin motorcycle OBD2 connector to the more common sixteen pin ODBII connector. Link to post
jeremyr62 2,605 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I wonder if motorcycles are using a standard OBDII connector then. I have one somewhere for my FJR, Will have to find the plug on the NC. Edited July 27, 2020 by jeremyr62 Link to post

All the other makers try to tie you to their service network which is why Dave has posted this. It seems, if I understand correctly, that he’s found a cable that can link the a Honda service port to the OBDII one. Link to post
fred_jb 10,269 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The BMW GS used to have a non-standard round connector which needed an adaptor cable, but changed to the standard type on the latest model. Maybe that was mandated by the Euro 5 standard, and if so then I expect that is the case for most new bikes now. Link to post
Andy m 23,764 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The full OBD2 is just too bulky a connector for bikes. Few bike parts have enough volume to support anything that special code wise and the manufacturers tend to base them on car parts which US legislation requires to have OBD. The bike connectors are a free for all so some try to lock them out while others just land on weird plugs accidentally. Just a case of getting the pins in the right place. Is the phone app a freebie or pay once? Andy Link to post
Wedgepilot 727 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) If it helps, I've used the Torque app on my android phone with a cheapie blue tooth OBD connector, it works well on both my cars. It's fascinating seeing all the real time data. The torque app is a one time payment and it wasn't that expensive. Edited July 28, 2020 by Wedgepilot Link to post
davebike 943 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I should have said the adaptor Honda 4 pin to OBD2 was from that auction site an cost more than Torque! but will get used at work as well ! Link to post
