For Honda motorcycle diagnostic cables, you need to choose between a 4-pin or 6-pin adapter depending on your bike’s model year. The 4-pin connector is standard for models from 2017–2020 using a K-Line or early CAN Bus system, while the 6-pin (Euro 5) connector is used for most models from 2020 onwards.
Which Connector Do You Need?
4-Pin to 16-Pin Adapter: Fits models like the CBR1000RR (2017+), Africa Twin (2017-2019), CB1100, and NC750. It typically uses a square connector and supports reading/resetting fault codes and live data.
6-Pin to 16-Pin Adapter: Required for Euro 5 compliant bikes, including the CB350 (2020+), Africa Twin (2020+), and CBR1000RR (2020+). These are often red and specifically designed for the newer CAN Bus diagnostic standard.
3-in-1 Combination Cables: If you have multiple bikes or work on different brands, Oriwhiz and other retailers like Metabee offer cables with 3-pin, 4-pin, and 6-pin heads to cover Yamaha, Honda, and KTM.
Key Considerations
Scanner Compatibility: These are passive adapters. You will still need a compatible OBD2 scanner (like an ELM327 for basic use or a professional motorcycle scanner for advanced features) to actually read the data.
Plug and Play: All versions are designed for straightforward connection to the bike’s diagnostic socket, usually located under the seat.
Verification: Always check your bike’s diagnostic port physically before buying, as some transition-year models may vary.
