MOTO HACK: Visualize with OBD (Diagnostic Monitor)! ADV150 Drivetrain Tuning Based on Data!

Customized Motorcycle

Introducing the custom motorcycle that has been submitted to the Webike Community "MOTO HACK Custom Motorcycle Contest" campaign!

Meet the custom motorcycle of 'NPT', who is riding on his ADV150!

 

Vehicles and self-introduction

[Self-introduction]
I've ridden about 25 motorcycles in 45 years.

[Motorcycle]

I'm almost 62 years old and I chose ADV150 as my last motorcycle.

Customization of the particulars

[Directionality]
I aim to improve the usability of our products.

[Points that I think are cool]
The red ADV150 is cool but the brown one is super austere. I think the wing mark which was added later looks good.

[Points of change in performance]
Various data including engine RPM is displayed on the smartphone. Using this data as a reference, the drivetrain settings were made to achieve sharp acceleration.

Custom Points

It displays various data on your smartphone using the OBD2 diagnostic equipment machine. You can also measure acceleration data and check the effect of drivetrain settings with numbers. You will need to install a diagnostic monitoring system, a connection coupler (about 6000 yen for both), and an app (free for a trial period, 860 yen) on your smartphone.

Using the above functions, the drivetrain has been set up. The best current settings are the weight roller (from 20 to 17g) and the pulley boss (length -0.3mm). When accelerating at full throttle, the rpm is about 500 rpm higher and the acceleration data shows that the motorcycle is 0-60 km faster by about 0.4 seconds. I think the fuel consumption will be a little worse, but I will check it from now on.

Brand: Amtake

OBD Adapter(Connecting coupler 764-9000100)
Brand: Kitaco

There is a connector for data extraction next to the battery. If your motorcycle is Euro 4 compatible, it should have diagnostic equipment. On ADV150, it is energized when key is ON, but some motorcycles are always energized.

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (Application *for iPhone)
Brand: Microsoft
 
You can check various data. The dashboard is an always-on screen.
You can communicate with your phone via wifi or Bluetooth, but the iPhone only has a wifi connection.


Three types of data can be displayed on the dashboard at any time. The type and size of the meter can be set quite finely. There are more than 40 kinds of data that can be displayed.


This is the confirmation screen of acceleration data.


DWR Weight Roller(Weight roller 17g)
Brand: Daytona

DLC Pulley Boss(Pulley Boss)
Brand: Kitaco

Wing mark (badge R product 86211-MJK-N20)/Badge L Product 86212-MJK-N20)
Brand: Honda genuine products

This is the wing mark that is attached to recent Honda motorcycles. I put black sponge on the circumference of the wing mark to cover the gap.

Long windscreen
Brand: Endurance

There are a few tweaks, such as some distortions and a narrower top, but the price blows it all away. I have added an extra piece of braid to the end of the top half, and I think it eliminates the vortex that occurs at the end and prevents the wind direction from turning downward.

Anchor removal and low rebound + gel processing
Brand: Yama-chan's motorcycle Seat Workshop

My footing went from toe tapping to thumb tapping, and I was able to paddle my feet. Even on the Normal, my butt didn't hurt right away, but I was able to ride all day long.

Customization that I want to do in the future

I would like to change the brake levers, especially the rear brake (left), to adjustable levers as they are too far away.

Thanks for participating in our custom motorcycle contest, NPT! You will receive 500 points to use at Webike!
