The Modern Dashboard: Use Live Data with the OBD M1 Scanner on KTM EXC F 450 & 1290 Super Adventure R

Forget basic dashboards – your KTM can do more. Much more.

If you ride a KTM EXC F 450 (2017 or newer) or a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S (2018+), the OBD M1 Scanner opens up a whole new way to view your bike's performance – in real time.

Live RPM, engine temperature, battery voltage, throttle position and more – all streamed directly to your smartphone or navigation tablet. And if you're running a DMD-T665 or DMD-T865X, you can even replace your analog dash completely.


From Off-Road to On-Screen: Your Bike’s Brain in Real Time

Especially for EXC riders who have ditched the OEM speedometer or never had one in the first place, the OBD M1 Scanner in combination with a DMD device is a game-changer.

  • 📲 Display RPM, speed, coolant temp, voltage & more

  • 📟 Use your DMD-T665 or DMD-T865X as a full digital cockpit

  • ⚙️ Customize which data you want to see while riding

  • 🚀 Ideal for long off-road adventures and performance tracking

It’s not just about maintenance anymore – it’s about riding smarter, with better data.


Which Cable Do You Need?

To connect the OBD M1 Scanner to your motorcycle, you'll need the correct adapter cable – and here’s the good news: there’s one for nearly every setup.

🔌 Whether you're riding a Euro 5-compliant bike or a model with a brand-specific OBD port, we’ve got compatible cables that make the connection plug & play.

🧩 KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, Honda, Yamaha, and more – each may require a different adapter, so it’s important to check your bike’s connector type before ordering.

For the Tech-Savvy Adventurer

On the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, the OBD M1 Scanner also adds value by displaying detailed performance stats, especially useful during tuning or touring. But the real revolution is on the EXC F 450 – where it becomes your dashboard.

Say goodbye to guessing engine temps or RPMs. Say hello to real-time control and situational awareness.
