Biketune
Motorrad diagnostic scanner
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Biketune turns a supported ELM327 / OBD-II adapter into a motorcycle diagnostic scanner you can carry in your pocket. Connect over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, read your bike's stored fault codes, watch live engine data, and reset the service reminder — without booking a dealer slot.
WHO IT'S FOR
Riders who want to understand what their bike is doing before, during, and after a ride. DIY mechanics who'd rather diagnose a fault on their workbench than guess at it. Owners of older bikes whose dealer no longer wants to look at them.
WHAT IT DOES
• Read & clear trouble codes (DTCs) across every reachable ECU — engine, ABS, instrument cluster, body controller.
• Live engine data — RPM, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, throttle position, battery voltage, intake-air temperature, run time, gear.
• Trip recording — capture sensor values at 1 Hz during a ride, replay the chart later from the bike's detail screen.
• Service reminder reset — write the next-service km, date, and bike clock back to the cluster, the way the dealer does.
• Tire-pressure monitoring — read live TPMS status, calibrate or trigger individual wheel sensors.
• ABS, chassis, and adaptation reads for power-users.
• Programming info — VIN, ECU name, calibration ID, BMW chassis code and part numbers.
• Freeze-frame snapshot — see exactly what the engine was doing when a stored DTC was set.
• DID Explorer + Raw Console — for the ones who want to write their own diagnostic queries.
• Demo mode — try every screen without owning an adapter, and use it offline anywhere.
• Liquid Glass UI built natively for iOS 26.
COMPATIBILITY
• Generic OBD-II — works with any motorcycle or car that speaks SAE J1979 over CAN (most post-2008 vehicles), regardless of make.
• BMW® motorcycles — the deepest support, with model-specific reads for the S 1000 RR / R / XR, R 1200 / 1250 / 1300 GS family, R 1200 / 1250 RT, K 1600, F 750 / 800 / 850 / 900, R nineT, R 12, the K-brick four-cylinders, and the R 18. Pre-CAN K-line bikes (oilheads, Funduros, K 1100 / K 1200 RS / LT) get a dedicated legacy profile.
ADAPTER SUPPORT
Works with common ELM327-class Bluetooth + Wi-Fi adapters (vGate iCar, Veepeak, OBDLink, BAFX, plus most clones). Cheaper clones often skip CAN extended-addressing; without it the BMW UDS features (Service Reset, Adaptations, Coding, Actuator tests) won't work. The Adapter screen surfaces the connection's compatibility tier (Full / Partial / Not supported) the first time you pair, and Settings → Adapter → Run compatibility check probes every feature against your specific bike + adapter combo before you rely on it.
WHAT MIGHT NOT WORK
Diagnostic depth depends on your bike + adapter combination, and Biketune is honest about it. Generic OBD-II reads (DTCs, live engine data, freeze frame, programming info) work on any post-2008 motorcycle or car that speaks SAE J1979 over CAN, with most ELM327-class adapters. BMW-specific writes (Service Reset, ABS bleed, TPMS calibrate, Adaptations, Coding, Chassis I/O) need a BMW K-family bike *and* an adapter with proper UDS support — every bike model has its own quirks, and not every cheap clone responds correctly. **Try Demo mode first** to see every screen the app ships, then run the in-app compatibility check on your real bike before paying for Pro. If something a feature you expected isn't surfacing, send a compatibility report from Settings → Adapter and I'll extend the support matrix.
PRIVACY + SYNC
Your garage, sessions, and trip recordings live on your device. Sign in with Apple to unlock optional iCloud sync for your bike list and adapter pairings — that data round-trips through your private iCloud key-value store, not our servers. We don't run an analytics backend; we never see your VIN.
NOT AFFILIATED WITH BMW MOTORRAD
Biketune is an independent diagnostic tool. Model and chassis names appear in the app and this description only to describe vehicle compatibility. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
Ratings & Reviews
Version 1.3 — your bike just got a lot more talkative
This is our biggest update yet. We taught Biketune to read your motorcycle's brain — and to explain what it finds in plain English.
LIVE ENGINE DATA, FOR REAL
Watch your BMW's vitals as you ride: RPM, coolant, intake and oil temperature, lean angle, twist-grip and more — in metric or imperial, your call. No more guessing what the bike is feeling.
A WHOLE BMW WORKSHOP IN YOUR POCKET
Friendly model names, fault-code descriptions, sensor lists and coding options for hundreds of models. It all works offline — so you're covered in the garage, in the Alps, or in the middle of nowhere.
CODING WITHOUT THE CRYPTIC HEX
Flip cluster and accessory settings using plain-language options instead of mystery codes. Set your tyre-pressure warnings in bar or psi, like a human being.
FASTER, SMARTER SCANNING
Biketune now knows exactly which control units your bike should have and checks only those — one clean pass instead of hammering every address.
ADAPTERS THAT BEHAVE
We'll spot a sketchy clone adapter and tell you what's up, let you switch adapters mid-connect, and quietly recover when one locks up instead of leaving you stranded.
MORE BIKES WELCOME
Say hello to the M 1000 R, S 1000 XR and the R 1300 family — plus tidier year ranges across the board.
SPOT SOMETHING OFF?
This release digs deeper into your bike than ever — so if a sensor reads wrong, a code won't clear, or your adapter sulks, please tell us. Tap "Share compatibility report" in Settings (it bundles exactly what we need to debug — no VIN, plate or location), or email support@biketune.app. A real human reads every report, and fixes ship fast, over the air.
Want them first? Flip on "Get beta updates" in Settings → About.
Ride safe — and let us know what you dig up under the hood.
