This is a step-by-step guide to installing the HEX ezCAN Yari for Yamaha.
The following Yamaha motorcycles are supported: (partial support)
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ezCAN YARI DOES NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORT 2025-ONWARD YAMAHA TÉNÉRÉ MODELS. This message will be updated as more information becomes available.
Due to CAN-bus and wiring harness limitations on Ténéré 700 models, the following functions are not available:
This is a good time to:
Locate the diagnostic connector and battery
Depending on year model, two different diagnostic connector types are used on ezCAN Yari-compatible Yamaha Ténéré models.
The Euro 4-type (4-pin) diagnostic connector used on earlier models looks like this:
The Euro 5-type (6-pin) diagnostic connector used on later models looks like this:
To access the diagnostic connector and battery on all Ténéré models:
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the ezCAN’s CAN-bus connector to any part of the motorcycle other than the diagnostic connector. If you do, the ezCAN will not function.
If the motorcycle has a Euro 5 (red 6-pin) diagnostic connector, connect the ezCAN’s white connector to the JWPF-to-Euro 5 CAN-bus adaptor in the ezCAN installation kit (below).
4. Connect the ezCAN CAN-bus adaptor’s male Euro 4 plug or male Euro 5 plug to the motorcycle’s diagnostic connector.
Route both ezCAN power supply cables from the main body location to the battery.
Ensure that all wiring is routed safely and securely, in a way that does not allow it to chafe or pinch. Where needed, secure all wiring to frame tubes or other components using the cable ties supplied with the ezCAN installation kit.
WARNING: For safety reasons, always disconnect the negative battery terminal first, and re-connect it last.
Note: The HEX ezCAN’s status LED should be solid green for approximately a minute after connection to the battery. After this time, the ezCAN enters Sleep Mode, and there will be no LED activity until the bike’s ignition is switched ON.
The CAN-bus on Yamaha Ténéré models does not include a horn trigger signal. To be able to activate an accessory horn when the horn button is pressed, a separate horn trigger input to the ezCAN is provided (red wire with black female connector, below).
IMPORTANT: Even if you do not want to install an auxiliary horn on a Ténéré, the green horn trigger wire included in the ezCAN installation kit must be installed if you will be configuring front auxiliary lights to strobe on horn activation.
Enabling accessory horn triggering
5. Remove the spade terminal with the pink wire from the factory horn (below).
6. Connect the ezCAN horn trigger lead’s male+female spade terminal to the exposed male terminal on the horn (below).
7. Connect the factory female spade terminal with the pink wire to the exposed male terminal on the ezCAN horn trigger lead (below).
Testing the horn connection
If the factory horn and/or the accessory horn do not work when the bike’s horn button is pressed, diagnose the horn circuit by doing the steps that follow:
5. Read the Horn Input Voltage value (below, right). If the ezCAN horn trigger circuit is working correctly, the value should be at or near 0V when the horn is inactive, and approximately 12V when the horn is active.
The CAN-bus on Yamaha Ténéré models does not include a high-beam trigger signal. To be able to increase or decrease the brightness of auxiliary front lights when the high-beam switch is set to high beam or the flash-to-pass button is used, a separate high-beam trigger input to the ezCAN is provided (red wire with black female connector, below).
Installation of the high-beam trigger wire is only needed if you want to increase or decrease the brightness of auxiliary front lights when the high-beam switch is set to high beam.
Two different high-beam trigger leads with blue wire are supplied as part of the ezCAN installation kit:
Single male terminal-to-4-pin-male-and-4-pin female (below). This trigger lead is used on Yamaha Ténéré models equipped with colour TFT information displays.
Single male terminal-to-6-pin-male-and-6-pin female (below). This trigger lead is used on Yamaha Ténéré models equipped with monochrome grey information displays.
Enabling high-beam triggering
The ezCAN installation kit includes four two-wire stub connectors with male connection terminals, orange power wires and black ground wires.
The following parts are also included:
If the accessory to be connected to a power circuit has three wires, convert a two-wire stub connector to a three-wire connector as shown in the Connecting 3-wire LED lights section of the HEX ezCAN User Manual (downloadable from here).
If the accessory to be connected to a power circuit has two wires, seal the stub connector’s empty terminal cavity as shown in the Connecting 2-wire accessories section of the HEX ezCAN User Manual.
If any of the ezCAN’s power circuits will not be used, we recommend that you connect a blanking plug to the output plug of each unused circuit.
2-wire applications: insert a blanking seal.
3-wire applications: insert a PWM terminal wire.
Connect the male terminal of each stub connector to the relevant female ezCAN power circuit connector (below).
Connecting a 2-wire accessory to an ezCAN stub connector:
Connecting a 3-wire accessory to an ezCAN stub connector:
Connecting low-power smart accessories to a power circuit:
If you are installing ‘smart’ accessories (that is, low-power accessories capable of intelligent input and control through the ezCAN’s LIN bus), note the following:
Read the Hex ezBUS and Configuring Hex ezBUS functionality sections of the ezCAN user manual (downloadable from here) for detailed information on how to use ezBUS functionality.
IMPORTANT: If the accessory stub connectors included in your ezCAN installation kit do not have orange power wires, but instead have colours that match the colouring of the ezCAN power circuits (as seen below), always connect like-to-like (red stub connector to red power circuit, blue stub connector to blue power circuit, and so on.)
The HEX ezCAN Extension Kit contains everything you need to connect front auxiliary lights, rear accessory lights and a horn to the ezCAN. It also includes additional connectors that allow you to connect other accessories.
WARNING: Test and check your installations and accessories in a safe, controlled environment before first use. Caution is advised at all times. Extra vigilance is needed when testing new features or accessories. You do so at your own risk.
DISCLAIMER: Hex Innovate is not liable for any injury or damage, howsoever caused, and all products and services are used at your own risk.
Before finalizing the ezCAN installation, or re-installing any components you may have removed, it is important that you test all newly installed accessories for satisfactory fitment and correct operation.
Many ezCAN-powered accessories can be tested by switching the ignition ON and operating the relevant controls. Exceptions include:
