How to locate the Diagnostic connector on your BMW motorcycle

This page shows some pictures of where to find the diagnostic connector on some motorcycle models

If your model is not featured here, and you would like to contribute, then please email us an image, and we will include it here.

 

What to look for? A round 10-pin connector , usually covered with a cap. In later(2016+) EURO4 compliant bikes, the connector will be the rectangular 16 pin OBD2 compatible form factor.
