I am looking for a recommendation on a good, but not too complex, code reader. I know Harley has one, and that you can look at codes through your speedometer, but I want something that is simple and effective.

I am not really interested in having one that needs to connect to a laptop either.

Recommendations on where I should focus my search? Thanks!

Thanks, but I am looking for something that can be used on multiple bikes. Can you use a tuner on different bikes or does it only hold one ecm reading at a time?

the powervision tuner can only be used to flash one ecm. however, it can be used to read codes, clear codes, monitor gauges, etc. on multiple bikes
