Manually
Reading your error codes can be done *manually* in the following way:

* Find your Data Link (ECMSpy) plug.

XB R - under LH side lower fairing spar
XB S/SS/SX/STT - Under seat to right of the ECM
XB X/XT - LH opening of the seat subframe (no need to remove the seat - although it is easier to do so)
X1/S3 - RH side of the headstock up to MY 2000. Under the seat, LH subframe rail on MY 2001 On an XB R this is under LH side lower fairing spar

* Pull out the rubber bung and look at the plug with the latch at the top. The top right pin is pin 1, then going clockwise 2, 3 and 4
* Short pins 1 and 2 (light green/red and black - two to the right) together and turn on the ignition
* Turn the ignition ON and wait eight seconds for the check engine lamp to start flashing
* You should see 6 rapid flashes (3 per second), then a 2 second pause with the CEL off
* The next flashes define the code. Count the next stream of flashes (on 1 sec, off 1 sec), that is the first digit of the code
* Wait for the 2 sec pause
* Count the next stream of flashes (on 1 sec, off 1 sec), that is the second digit of the code. e.g. 6 rapid flashes, pause, 1x1 second flash, 2 second pause, 3x 1 second flashes, pause, 6 rapid flashes = code 13 = lambda sensor.
* The above repeats, starting with the 6 quick flashes. If more than one trouble code has been logged, you will see a second pair of digits sent after the six flashes, and if three, a third set of digits
* Write down each code until you have them all.
* If you just get 6 rapid flashes, followed by a pause, followed by another 6 rapid flashes, then no codes are present
