What is this scan tool you speak of? :D

Honestly, I'm not aware of any. It's frustrating we have an ECU but no modern method to troubleshoot it.
A couple years back I was troubleshooting a fuel injection on FJR and asked dealership what diagnostic tools they used to monitor the ECU. Nothing :eek:

I think newer year Teneres ('17+) are OBDII compliant so you can use a generic auto scan tool along with an adapter harness to read malfunction codes. Earlier models have diagnostics built into the instrument panel. I would not say there no modern method to troubleshoot them.

This is what you are looking for:

Yamaha Diagnostic tool: PN 90890-03262-00

I think they are like 600 bucks. I thought about getting one but I believe it will only work on Windows based computers. I have Mac IOS and don't want to change.

Thanks everyone for the info.

I'm not having any issues with the bike, but if affordable, it would be nice to have one with me on trips...just in case.

Snap on just came out with their motorcycle scanner system. No price listed on the site, but I would wager $2000-$3000. Their stuff is really good. Sometimes with patience can get used for a good price. I've got 3 good modern scanners for cars, but they really can't be used on a motorcycle because motorcycles don't use the 16 pin connector among other things.

I see those adapters are only sold in Europe. Here in USA they are listed on ebay, but all come from UK sellers. I would buy the adapter, but if one does buy, how would you set up your scanner? All my scanners ask for make, model, year, engine, ect or auto detect, but they won't auto detect a motorcycle. So you set in some car and see if it works?

Do the newer scanner have the 'back door' Global like the older ones did? I haven't paid attention with our Modis. But I have seen at least one motorcycle listed on the Modis.

The OBD scanner I have just scans for the protocol the car is using that it's connected to. No need to enter manufacturer, model, etc. I also have a wifi ELM 327 dongel that works with my phone but it does ask for that information, or at least the app on my phone does.

I saw the new scanner today and it does have 6 or 7 different motorcycles listed to date, you can list the make or go Global I was told! Snap on does make good scanners but the updates are costly. Ive got big bucks in mine .Still waiting on the $ but it would be nice to have .

I hope the snap on is somewhat affordable. They don't list any prices. The previous cable for Harley Davidson was over $600.00 just for the cable to adapt Harley to the scanners.

I'll try my snap -on scanner just to see if it works ...Thanks
Please do and let us know how it works for you. Thanks in advance.
I know the workaround is not for the technically challenged and I'm sure Snap-on will appreciate your $:p

Hello everibody
I need OBD CAN BUS tool for yamaha. Yamaha since 2017 no longer uses the DIAG mode. I need to adjust TPMS, CO, adjust idle speed ... etc for Yamahas 2017 2020. YDT tool v.3 is extremely expensive, dealer code is needed for its full operation. Generic tools like Torque CarScanner with ELM cannot make adjustments, it is only possible to clear alarms and read sensor data. Multi-brand professional tools to make precise TPMS adjustments for example are extremely expensive, this does not interest an individual who uses a single motorcycle. I have news that Healtech is preparing a tool for Yamaha, I have good experience with Healtech OBD for Suzuki, good price 250 $ / €, this tool was connected to the diagnostic port of the motorcycle and to a PC with microsoft, I could adjust the ISC valve idle speed , adjust positions ... etc. Anyone have information if finally Healteach will release this year an OBD tool for new yamaha that do not have the old DIAG mode ?. I have news that the new advanced professional tool that Healtech has prepared for Yamaha will use the ANDROID platform. Has anyone news?

you can only check and erase the error codes with a generic diag tool. The Yamaha DT is the only tool you can use to change the co, throtle and fuel injection parameters

There are very expensive $ 5000 tools for multi-brand professionals such as AUTEL Diagnostic Tool with which it is possible to change and modify these parameters in these YAMAHA's as CO, TPMS values ... In any case, HEALTECH will soon launch a tool at a good price (maybe 300$ or less) such as another OBD tools of Healtech has for Honda Suzuki and Kawasaky. I have had a good experience with this type of professional tools specially with obd healtech suzuki, with them it is possible to adjust all possible settings. At the moment I am waiting for its launch.

It is the reason why I was asking in the forum, If anyone has news for what date Healtech will launch this tool.
