1. Unlike cars, where the standard for the diagnostic connection is unified under the OBDII connectors the motorcycles, snowmobiles and water scooters use a variety of connectors. The connection to the on board diagnostic connectors of these vehicles can be established in the following steps:

• Determining the location of the diagnostic connectors.

In the majority of cases the diagnostics connectors are located under the seat of the vehicle.

• Determining the type of connectors required for the specific vehicle.

Once the type of connector that is required for the vehicle in question is discovered the users can proceed to the next step.

• “Translating” the signal from the On board diagnostic connector to the AVDI.

2. In the photos below you can see various connector locations, types and connection cable pin outs.

• Suzuki motorcycles, quads, snowmobiles and water scooters most commonly have their 6 pin connector under the seat:

In the photo above you can see it in white, it has a rubber waterproof cap which needs to be removed in order for the connector to be exposed.

The standard Suzuki six pin connector is depicted below:

The pin out for the 6 pin connector is as shown here:

Here you can see the two connected on the vehicle:

The connection from the Suzuki vehicles to your AVDI is established by connecting the 6 pin connector to a DB9 connector and then to a DB25 connector in order for the signal to enter the DB25 connector on the AVDI via the following table:

• BMW motorcycles use a 10 pin diagnostic connector. The connection to the OBD II is depicted:

Location of the OBD for some of the most popular BMW models

S1000RR- under the rear seat cover

R1200GS Adventure- under the rear portion of the seat

R1200GS- under the seat

R1200RT- under seat

R1200C- under the left chrome cover

HP2 Enduro- under the front of the seat, close to the tank

K1200GT- under the rear of the seat

K1200S- under the rear of the seat

K1200LT- under the seat

R1150 GS / Adventure- under the seat

R1150RT- between rear light and seat

G650X Challenge/Country/Moto- behind right front panel

C1-200- behind the backrest of the seat

• Harley-Davidson motorcycles use a 4(old models) or 6 pin diagnostic connector. The connection to the OBD II is depicted:

Note: Older Harley-Davidson bikes that use a 4-PIN connector may need to communicate through the SAE J1850 protocols. This may require an Abrites J1850 adapter.

• Aprilia motorcycles 6 pin to OBDII connection depicted below:

• Kawasaki vehicles, in most cases, have the diagnostic pin under the seat.

• PINOUTS

For the following connections you will need to connect the modules using a DB9 connector. What you will need to remember is that the DB9 connector is structured in the following way:

PIN1 – GND

PIN4 – K-line

PIN9 - +12V
