1 – MXK10 in a few words
MXK10 is an AiM dash-logger designed to be installed on Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R produced in the years 2016-2019 also if connected to
Kawasaki Racing kit.
It is a full Plug and Play dash, completely compatible with the original connector and with the fixing points of the original bracket of your
bike.
It features:
CAN connection for getting all the data coming from the stock ECU
6 alarm LEDs
10 RGB LEDs to help you shifting the gear.
The dash-logger has an internal memory to record sampled data and comes with AiM GPS Module for Kawasaki that automatically gets
lap times and a lot of important information you will find very useful if using your bike on the track.

Ninja stock dash and install MXK10 dash-logger is available.
4 – MXK10 Main features
First of all, we have to say that MXK10 has two different working modes: Road Mode and Track Mode. You may swap between the two
modes entering “Display” option of “Preferences” Menu (paragraph 5.2.1).
Track Mode is intended to be used when you are riding on a track. The GPS Module is enabled, in order to automatically get Lap Times;
data are automatically recorded, TFT page is swapped in Track Mode and Lap pushbutton may be disabled in order to avoid confusion
between the GPS Signal and the pushbutton one.
In Road Mode TFT page is swapped in Road Mode, the data are by default not recorded, GPS Module is disabled and Lap Pushbutton is
enabled.
The dash offers different pages, freely selectable through the bike keyboard entering “Preferences” menu.


6
Images here below show some examples of possible pages layout.
Road usage.
Track usage
In road pages ECT or Engine Coolant Temperature (Water Temperature) and IAT or intake air temperature (Air Temperature) are shown
while in track pages also Lap Time and Lap number are shown.


7
4.1 – Lap Times
MXK10 calculates and shows lap times. This can be made in two ways:
manually pushing “Lap” on the bike left keyboard
automatically using GPS Module you find in the kit; the
Module includes most of the world tracks.
When you switch the bike on near a track the Module
automatically recognizes it, loads the start/finish coordinates
and calculates lap times when these coordinates are crossed.
If your track is not in the database you may always create and
load it in the database using Race Studio 3 software, freely
downloadable from AiM website at:
https://www.aim-sportline.com/en/sw-fw-download.htm
As said MXK10 features two working modes: road and track. In track mode the lap pushbutton can be disabled (see paragraphs 5.2.1 and
5.2.3) to avoid confusion between GPS signal and Lap button one while in road mode Lap button is always enabled and GPS Module is
always disabled.

5.2.3 – Lap switch
As said this option is only available if riding mode is “Track” while if riding mode is “Road” the pushbutton is always enabled.
To avoid undesired lap signals a 5 seconds time period is needed between one push and the following of “Lap” pushbutton.
To use it in “Track” riding mode “Lap switch” needs to be set “Enabled”. Please note: also with GPS Module connected and enabled there
is no override between the two signals.
5.2.4 – Brightness
MXK10 has two levels of brightness for day and night usage. A light sensor (shown below on the right) in the lower left side of the dash
logger may help setting the desired brightness and the current display brightness is shown bottom of the page.
Available options are: Auto and Manual.
In Auto Mode you may:
set the Day Level; at the desired threshold the dash logger commutes the display brightness and the display background colour
set the Night Level: when the Light Sensor reads a brightness level higher than the threshold, the display is enlightened at the level
defined in this parameter and the display background colour switches to white.
set the Day to night threshold: at the desired threshold the dash logger commutes the display brightness and the display
background colour switches to black;
set the Night to day threshold: at the desired threshold the dash logger commutes the display brightness and the display
background colour switches to white
“Night to day threshold” is to be always higher than “Day to Night threshold”.
In Manual Mode you simply set one level of brightness and this level is maintained independently from the external light conditions. This
mode allows to set night/day display colour too.
