Using the CHIGEE OBD Module: Requirements & Supported Bikes

Using the CHIGEE OBD Module: Requirements & Supported Bikes

Your motorcycle ECU outputs data on the OBD port. The CHIGEE OBD module reads that data and sends it to the CHIGEE Display for live RPM, speed, temps, MAP, etc.
Connection rule (non-negotiable): Direct plug-in only. No splitters, no parallel devices, no daisy-chain. If it isn’t a straight connection to the bike’s OBD socket, expect “No Data” or unstable comms.

Quick Compatibility Logic

  1. Protocol: Bike must speak ISO 15765-4 (CAN).
  2. Connector:
    • Euro-5 6-pin → plug-and-play.
    • Other OEM plugs → use CG OBD Adapter Cable(type varies by brand/model). Please check the adapter options on the product page and verify your bike’s OBD port type before purchase.
  3. Not recommended: ISO 9141/K-Line (too slow for real-time).
  4. BMW: Use CGRC LIN instead of OBD for best results.
Available data always depends on the manufacturer’s ECU (some expose fewer PIDs). That’s normal and not a CHIGEE defect.

Brand/Year Heuristics (guidance, not a guarantee)

If your motorcycle is not listed below, we cannot guarantee compatibility. Purchasing for unsupported models is at your own discretion, with the understanding that incompatibility is possible.
  • Often OK (verify on your unit):
    • 2019+: Suzuki, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, CFMOTO, KTM, Ducati, Indian, Husqvarna, Aprilia(excluding joint venture brands such as Indian Suzuki).
    • 2022+: Benelli
    • 2024+: Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda Wing/DreamWing(excluding joint venture brands such as Sundiro Honda and Wuyang Honda)
  • BMW (all) → prefer CGRC LIN (not work with Chigee OBD Module).
