I looked and didn't see this information posted so thought I would share. I have done some testing and discovered that you can scan the vehicle diagnostics using a standard automotive scan tool. So far I've used an inexpensive bluetooth scan tool to connect and it appears to work fine, I can see basic information like throttle position, temps, etc. I dont have a check engine light on so I don't know if we can clear codes but we can connect and read information. I have a more sophisticated SnapOn scan tool but I Haven't tested using it yet because i've loaned it out to a friend, once I get it back I will do some testing with it. This is good news for us owners that aren't close to a dealer.
I was very surprised to see Norton as using a standard 16 pin j1962 connector like a car, my other motorcycles use proprietary connectors for scanning and even when I jump the pins the protocol is proprietary. When I get a chance to do more testing I will update.
Just wanted to share, if you get a check engine light try an automotive scan tool to see if you can diagnose the problem, should be cheaper and easier than taking it to the dealer.
