Where is the port to plug in the dongle? Is it a serial port or another type of port?

I assume the subject is the techno-research scan tool?

If so, it is (I think) Serial or Blue Tooth. A serial port would be a nine pin port on the back of the computer.

If it's Blue Tooth, it's wireless, but you'll need a blue tooth device in the PC as well.

Yes, I'm talking about the techno-research tool. Where is the computer located? Does it have blue-tooth built-in? If so I'm golden because my Pocket PC has built-in bluetooth as well. I just have to figure out how to connect the PPC to the bike.

The Bike does not have BlueTooth, but that would be cool.

You need a serial connection, and the connector is tucked up behind the headlights (at least it is on a 12R)

Hm. I found some kind of connector port behind the headlights but its not serial. Is there more than one? BTW the bike is a '03 XB9R.

It is not a standard Serial port, you need their adapter to connect the serial port on a PC/PDA to the port on the bike

You need an RS232 (DP9) null modem cable to use their proprietary dongle. The port on XBR's is located behind the fairing (as is the ecm). If using a Palm, you can use the cradle or a serial hot sync cable.

Ok got it. Can you only get the adapter from them, or is there somewhere else you can get it. Does it have a designation?

You have to get the dongle from them (or from a couple of the sponsors on this board). The software can be downloaded from the TechnoResearch website.
