Unlocking the Code: Adapting to Euro 4 Emission Standards in BMW Motorcycles Since 2017
Since January 1, 2017, the European Union has enforced stringent Euro 4 emission standards for all new vehicles and motorcycles. As part of this regulation, BMW motorcycles manufactured since 2017 have seen a significant change with the adoption of the J1962 (OBD-II) type diagnostic connector. This transition has left many BMW motorcycle owners with older diagnostic tools in a dilemma, as the existing 10-pin round diagnostic connector is no longer compatible.
​
In this comprehensive guide, we'll dive into the details of this transition, provide a list of BMW motorcycle models affected, and offer solutions to ensure your diagnostic tools remain effective with these newer EU4-compliant BMW motorcycles.

Understanding Euro 4 Emission Standards
Before we delve into the diagnostic connector change, let's briefly understand why Euro 4 emission standards were introduced. Euro 4 standards aim to reduce harmful exhaust emissions, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) from vehicles. This move is in line with the global effort to combat air pollution and improve overall air quality.

To meet Euro 4 standards, BMW, like other motorcycle manufacturers, made several changes to their models, including the adoption of the J1962 (OBD-II) diagnostic connector.

The Transition to J1962 (OBD-II)
The J1962 (OBD-II) diagnostic connector is a universal standard used in the automotive industry. It simplifies diagnostics and allows for easier troubleshooting of engine and emission-related issues. BMW made this transition to align with global automotive standards and improve the diagnostic capabilities of their motorcycles.

BMW Motorcycles Affected
