;Parts
* [http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/FTDI/TTL-232R-RPI/ USB to TTL cable] with 5V (red), ground (black), TX (green) and RX (white) wires.

;Steps
# Cut the connectors off the end of the green, white and black wires to expose bare wires.
# Solder the wires to the pins on the OBDII connector as follows:
#* Black wire (ground) to pin 5
#* White wire (RX) to pin 8
#* Green wire (TX) to pin 9
#* Red wire is not connected (+5V)
# Plug cable in to laptop computer; device should be recognized and driver installed successfully.
# Note the COM port or device used.
# Connect cable to the [[OBD-II Port_Location|OBD port on the bike]].
# Key the bike on.
# Connect via laptop.
# Configure the Baud rate:
#* [[Gen1]] (pre-2013): 9600 ([http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=8386.msg71180#msg71180 2011 Zero DS reported 9600N1])
#* [[Gen2]]: 38400
#* [[Gen3]] (SRF): 115200
#;Windows
#: Open Putty terminal program (freeware) and use Serial connection to connect to COM port (eg COM4) and set baud rate.
#;Mac
#: Open CoolTerm (freeware, unsigned) and connect to the bluetooth serial modem and set baud rate.
#;Linux/Unix-like
#: Open minicom/etc. and connect to the USB (likely /dev/ttyUSB0) or bluetooth serial modem and set baud rate.
# Open connection and the [[MBB Console|MBB prompt]] should be displayed (hit enter key if not)
