Scan Tools for Bikes

[Steve Bass]

So for cars, it's pretty easy to buy an OBD2 scanner to read or even control vehicle functions across numerous makes and models.

So is there anything comparable for bikes or are they truly marque specific and nailed down like a nuns knickers??

There's a few marque experts here (KTM/BMW etc) so what do you use? I know of the GS 911 for BMW but what about Ducati/KTM/Honda?

If you have an OBD2 scanner for a car get a £10 adapter cable and MotoScan software for the BMW.

I'm really looking for something universal like OBD2 in the car world.
But the deeper I dig the more it seems each manufacturer has a unique software package. There's a few free s/w that get access, like GuzziDiag for Aprilia and Guzzi's or TuneBoy for Triumph but Ducati, KTM , Beta etc seem out on their own... ho hum
