No worries man - do you know where the diagnostic port is? Should be listed in the book - maybe a 3 or 4-pin plug.
https://www.amazon.com/SuperOBD-Adap...motive&sr=1-18 <-- that one is for a 4-pin plug...
https://www.amazon.com/Diagnostic-Ad...pcontext&psc=1 <-- this one is the 3-pin plug.
https://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Bluet...625076&sr=8-10 <-- that's just a generic OBDII scan interface - the ELM327 is just a chip that handles the information being relayed from the ECU to a readable printout. One of those cables would go to the bikes 3-4pin harness, then the blue scanner into the big D-type connectors 16pin port - then bluetooth to the phone. Could leave it hooked up hidden under the seat or something for easier access to scanning. Or use another phone or other device for a dashboard layout!
I use an app called Car Scanner ELM OBD2 - little blue icon with a white engine on it, Android - I did pay the .99 cents to have the full app, but there is a free option. Torque is another free app you can get, also has a 'premium' option. Though I have
not used one of these on any bike yet - should be able to get a reading. I would select the generic OBD scan and see what it can find. These won't mess anything up; the ELM327 doesn't have capability to write over any ROM chips either; just read / monitor. The Tactrix unit is a device that goes from OBDII to USB / serial and then connects to COMM protocols and IS able to read, also able to write information as well. These are the most common option for 'cheap' tuning solutions. That with a laptop paired with ECUFlash or the other ECU hack program Lukas specified - you can do some good stuff, but you also take a very high risk of bricking your ECU and damaging it permanently. Not sure how much those little EFI EEPROMs are, but one for a car is around two grand!.. I took a pretty high risk flashing my brand new GT86 to stage 2 lol but I wanted to run E85+ for more power!
Even if you don't use the device that often, it's always a very useful tool to have on hand. Can even use it on any of your vehicles too.
Lukas - you may need to jump in on the links to specify which adapter; either 3 or 4-pin to the 16-pin OBDII port lol I've seen bike plugs before, but they're allllllllll different!
Charles - Not gonna put anyone down, I'm all about helping. Sorry for anything that went a little overhead, not my intention - I kind of assumed you had some knowledge beforehand lol my fault.
So, once we get squared away with the interfacing lol you'll be able to connect real time to your bike and take a data log of what's goin' on. The apps do have some good tutorials on it, but always here to help. The biggest thing would just be taking a code scan - if there are any DTS's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), they'll be displayed - some scanners even give hints to what needs to be replaced / fixed. I've got one of the little blue OBD scanners myself - have had no issue with it at all for about 5 years. Actually used to leave it plugged up to run a monitor off a tablet to see all my engine stats - little to no battery drain. Now I just have my VP16 - that can take dyno's, activate PWM (pulse width modulation) controls like No2 tank valves, HHO or oxyhydrogen dipoles, all kinds of shtuff lol I just have it monitoring my main stats like HP and A/F ratio's. It does claim it's able to change ECU values like a piggy-back for eco or power boosts.. I'm sold on it, my Corolla is hitting almost 43MPG after using it!
But - if the TPS is acting up, the ECU should have recorded the event and stored in memory. Are there any check engine lights or anything that would indicate 'hey something's wrong'? I'm not sure what to look for myself either - I know on cars it's the little orange engine light. But, this is a bit different. You may not even need to look at the TPS with a multi-meter with this either, you can see throttle position from the OBD reader to check it in the app. I'm always a geek with this kind of stuff - engineering was my major lol the need to mod is real.
