Hi guys, I recently got a 2006 XB9SX so this is my first post. I work on a tool called DashDAQ and I've got it reading from the Buell diagnostic connector. I thought you might want to see some pics. Right now it will display and log data, read and clear trouble codes. I was testing communication so it's sitting on the air cleaner with a windshield suction cup mount. The back of the DashDAQ uses an AMPS mount so I was thinking about a bracketron motorcycle mount (http://www.bracketron.com/?catid=2&pid=12). Any other ideas for how I should mount it?    | ||

Looks great :-) Some graphics available too? Regards, Gunter | ||

Of course I should say.... Thanks to ECMSpy for helping me to understand the Buell datastream! This should be a lot cleaner and easier than trying to record data with a laptop or a PDA. I grabbed some screenshots from my work-in-progress. Signal list, used to assign a signal to a gauge:  Displaying 6 numeric signals: Vehicle speed, engine speed, O2 sensor voltage, battery voltage, throttle position, AFV:  Round gauge showing engine RPM, sliders for engine temperature and air temperature:  Read and clear trouble codes:  | ||

Damn you, I am a gadget wh0re. I see you got a link to the site for this in your profile, do you make these things? A ram mount would be the best option, as many people use them and they can even be used in a car. Also, is it weather resistant? I don't mind my $200 Veypor VR2 getting soaked and shorting out, but this sure looks like it costs more.  | ||

Yes, I'm a programmer at that company. Most people use them on racecars (as a digital dashboard) but the size makes it useful to record data from my bike. I'll keep you guys posted as I make progress. It's not weather resistant; there are holes for the USB ports, speaker, memory card slot, and connectors. Between the weather and the risk of theft I thoughtI would find some way to disconnect and carry it with me. Although you have a good point and I should rig something to protect it from the rain while I ride. You never know when you'll get caught in a downpour. | ||

That thing is freakin sweet!!!! Do you guys make a headless (non-LCD) version .. that would be awesome and could be plugged into an after market DVD/NAV head Unit and displayed right in the dash of you vehicle. | ||

It takes me about 15 minutes to disconnect everything on my bike. I don't give a crap anymore, i leave it all on there. The Zumo has a password and the rest is so hard wired that they will need to buy a new one to get it too work. If they can figure out how to start it and ride it they can keep it |
