Best + economical OBD2 h/w + s/w combo?

[Sakster]

I was wondering if their is a recommended OBD2 h/w + s/w that works especially well for the T7 for diagnosis and clearing codes.

Also the most economical combination to achieve this goal?

I use one similar to this one, along with the Torque app on my phone: 

 

OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner

Amazon.com: OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner Code Reader for Android Windows, Auto Car Diagnostic Scan Tool Odb2 OBDII Adapter for Check Engine Light for Torque Pro, OBD Fusion, DashCommand, Car Scanner App : Automotive

OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner Code Reader

 

It works on my bikes (with an adapter) as well as my cars.  The adapter I use for the bikes is:

I think for occasional use almost any OBD reader that uses the ELM327 chip or clone will be fine, which is pretty much all of them that you see. Search for 'elm327 obd' and you should be fine. Like @Hollybrook I also used Torque. You can probably use the free version just fine. Car Scanner is another one. Generally you start paying premiums when you want always-present hardware or software that does more than just read and clear codes.

 

And tangent, how's the riding around Yucatan? We're in Belize now and will be heading up that way in a month or so.

Thanks! Sadly, I haven't ridden around the Yucatan yet, waiting for the bike to show up. Will know in the next couple of months as i begin exploring. HAppy to report once I do it

Thats a 6 pin adapter, best I recall the T7 has a 4 pin adapter, am i misunderstanding something?

[Hollybrook]

My US (i.e. made in Japan) 2022 Euro5 has a 6-pin OBD2 port.  I think the earlier Euro4 bikes may have a 4-pin version.
