The OBDSTAR M011 is the adapter cable for the 8-pin diagnostic port on Kawasaki motorcycles. It converts that manufacturer-specific connector to the 16-pin OBD2 socket (J1962) on your OBDSTAR diagnostic equipment, allowing a motorcycle with this port to connect to a device with a standard OBD2 connector.
Kawasaki retained this 8-pin connector on a large proportion of its models for many years rather than adopting the automotive OBD2 connector. The pin configuration of the cable is matched to the communication lines used by the manufacturer, including the K-line, ensuring that diagnostic signals reach the diagnostic reader unaltered. The cable unlocks access to the engine system; it does nothing more. What you extract from it is determined by your own device's software — the cable adds no additional coverage.
KEY BENEFITS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Applications and functionality
Via the 8-pin connector, you access the engine management system of the motorcycle.
Control modules you can reach
- Engine system: The control unit from which fault codes and vehicle data are retrieved.
- Other systems: Whether additional modules are accessible varies by model and depends on your device's coverage.
What you can do
- Read fault codes: Retrieve diagnostic codes from the engine system to identify a fault.
- Clear fault codes: Remove stored error codes after diagnosis and repair from the connected device.
- Request live data: Monitor parameters such as engine speed, temperatures and sensor readings during diagnosis.
- Read vehicle data: Retrieve identification data available via the diagnostic connector.
- Note: What is actually available varies by model and by OBDSTAR device.
Compatible vehicles and applications
The 8-pin connector is the determining factor, not the model or year of manufacture. The Kawasaki models listed below are equipped with this connector. Overlapping years do occur: during a model change, the manufacturer may have switched to the 16-pin OBD2 connector, so if in doubt, check the connector on the motorcycle itself first.
