The OBDSTAR M008 is an adapter cable for the 6-pin diagnostic port on Kawasaki motorcycles. It converts that proprietary connector to a standard 16-pin OBD2 connector (J1962), allowing a motorcycle with this port to be connected to a diagnostic device with a standard OBD2 input.

Kawasaki equipped some of its models with a proprietary 6-pin diagnostic port instead of the automotive connector. The cable provides physical and electrical compatibility between both connector standards and passes the motorcycle's diagnostic protocols unchanged to the connected device. The cable enables the connection; it does not determine which models are supported. The source explicitly states that not all Kawasaki models and model years are compatible and refers to the OBDSTAR vehicle list.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Direct connection to the 6-pin port — the proprietary connector fits precisely onto the original diagnostic port, without intermediate adapters.
✔Secure coupling — the connector sits firmly on the factory socket, maintaining the connection throughout the diagnostic session.
✔Compact in the kit — the cable takes up minimal space within an OBDSTAR motorcycle diagnostic set.
✔Broad model coverage — the verified list ranges from the ZX-6R from 2009 to models still in production.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕Not every model and model year is verified — the source explicitly warns of this; check the OBDSTAR vehicle list before you begin work.
✕6-pin version only — motorcycles with a 4-pin, 4+4-pin or 8-pin connector require a different cable from the range.
✕OBDSTAR equipment only — the cable does not work with diagnostic devices from other manufacturers.
✕Does not add vehicle coverage — which functions are available depends on the software of your own device.

Applications and functionality

Via the 6-pin port you access the engine management systems of the Kawasaki.

Control units you can reach

  • Engine management system: The control unit from which fault codes and sensor readings are retrieved.
  • Motorcycle control systems: Which of these respond varies by model and depends on your device's coverage.

What you can do

  • Read fault codes: Retrieve diagnostic trouble codes from the engine management systems via the 6-pin diagnostic port.
  • Clear fault codes: Remove stored codes following diagnosis and repair.
  • Read live data: Monitor current sensor readings and system parameters during inspection and fault diagnosis.
  • Perform system diagnostics: Check engine management and control systems for faults and deviations.
  • Please note: Not all models and production years are confirmed; consult the OBDSTAR vehicle compatibility list.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The 6-pin diagnostic port is the determining factor, not the model or production year. The Kawasaki models listed below are included in the product data as compatible. The source adds that the official OBDSTAR compatibility list is authoritative for the most current support.

💡
Useful to know: The 6-pin diagnostic port is typically located beneath the seat or behind a cover panel; consult the workshop manual for your specific model to determine the exact location. Before ordering, verify that your motorcycle has six pins and that the model is listed in the OBDSTAR vehicle compatibility database.
