I am a red seal journeyman motorcycle mechanic with 15+ years experience as a Harley-Davidson® technician and instructor. I got one of these motorscan tools from KS2 technologies who distribute them in Canada.
These tools work very well, especially given the small size of the interface unit. Using the tool really is as simple as it sounds, plug the module into the data port, turn the bike on and ignition switch to run, and open the app on your phone or tablet. You will have access to trouble code info as well as live data from the modules on the motorcycle, ecm, bcm, lhcm, rhcm, abs, speedo, etc. Motorscan offers two versions of their diagnostic tool, 4 pin for j1850 models and 6 pin for HD LAN models. Both use Bluetooth to connect to a tablet or smartphone running the app.
This tool is quite small and portable, and while not having all the features of the Digital Technician laptop, (not available outside the Harley-Davidson® dealer network) it does offer the motorcycle owner or independent technician the opportunity to get diagnostic information from the motorcycle in an affordable package.
I left 4 stars, because the app has a few things that could be a bit better. The names of some modules seem to have been translated from something else, the terms used are not what most techs in North America are used to, but still possible to figure out what is meant. There could be a few more features, possibly abs bleed procedure or other items. Overall a great tool considering the cost and size of the module.
