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 the proper voice 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 automati-
cally 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 by the handlebar pushbutton shown here below.
Two pages are intended for road usage.
Two pages are intended for track usage
In road pages ECT or Engine Coolant Temperature (Water Temperature) and IAT or intake air temperature (Air Tempera-
ture) are shown while in track pages Lap Time and Lap number are shown.

4.1 Lap Times
CHAPTER 4
08 09
MXK10 calculates and shows lap times. This can be made
in two ways:
n Manually pushing “Lap”on the bike left keyboard
n Automatically using GPS Module you find in the kit; the
Module includes most of the world tracks.
n When you switch the bike on near a track the Module
automatically recognizes it, loads the start/finish coordi-
nates 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 paragraph X.X.X) 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.

5.2.1 Riding Mode
Your MXK10 may work in two different modes: Road and
Track. You may swap between the two modes entering
this voice of “Preferences“ menu.
As said before “Track” mode is intended to be used when
you are riding on a track; data recording is automatically
enabled and the dash logger display is swapped in Track
Mode (see paragraph 4). In this situation Lap pushbutton
can be disabled (see paragraph 5.2.2) in order to avoid
confusion between GPS signal and pushbutton signal.
In “Road”mode Lap pushbutton is always enabled and
GPS Module is disabled.
5.2.2 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 con-
nected and enabled there is no override between the
two signals.

In Menu page navigate through the icons with “UP” and ”DOWN” buttons and select the icon pushing “SEL”.
MXK10 offers five different odometers. One of them is not resettable while the others are. The first two odometers are
used to show total and partial mileage. The others are mainly used in races.
5.3 Odometers
CHAPTER 5
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 may help setting the desired
brightness.
Available options are: Auto and Manual.
5.2.3 Backlight
18 19
In Auto Mode you may:
n Set the Light Sensor Threshold. At the desired
threshold the dash commutes the display brightness.
n set the Day Brightness Level: when the Light
Sensor reads a brightness level higher than the
threshold, the display is enlightened at the level
defined in this parameter.
n set the Night brightness Level: at the desired
threshold the dash commutes the display brightness;
In Manual Mode you simply set one level of bright-
ness and this level is maintained independently from the
external light conditions.
5.2.4 Wi-Fi
MXK10 features a Wi-Fi module to communicate with the
PC. It is mainly used for race or track in order to:
n receive from the PC the configuration of the
expansion modules
n transmit data to the PC
n calibrate sensors
n download sampled data to the PC after the test
All these functionalities are explained in chapter 6.
Wi-Fi available Modes are:
n Auto: Wi-Fi is ON when the bike is stopped and
OFF when the bike is moving
n ON: Wi-Fi is always on
n OFF: Wi-Fi is always OFF
5.4 Tracks
Navigate through the icons using the pushbuttons “UP” and “DOWN”, and select the Tracks Icon pushing “SEL”.
Track Management is intended for the driver that uses his bike on a track, both for races and track days. In order to take
advantage from Track management, you have to install the GPS08 module, included in the kit. This is used for:
n Lap time calculation
n Speed calculation
n Predictive lap time calculation
To calculate these data the system needs to know the start/finish line coordinates of the racetrack you are racing on:
MXK10 comes with a long list of the world main tracks, constantly updated by our technicians and automatically loa-
ded to your PC when you run Race Studio 3 software and a Wi-Fi connection is available.
MXK10 provides two track selection modes:
n automatic
n manual
Automatic:
MXK10 automatically recognizes the track you are run-
ning on, loads the start/finish line and the possible splits
coordinates and calculates lap and split times.
This is the best mode in most cases.
Manual:
In this mode you may select the track from the internal
database. This mode is to prefer when multiple track
configurations are available nearby. In this case MXK10
would anyway recognize the track but would need at
least one complete track lap.
You can scroll the list of available tracks choosing among
these options:
n nearest: shows only tracks in a 10 km distance
n all: shows all tracks stored in the system in alphabetical
order
n custom: shows only the tracks you have previously
created (learning mode)

This page shows serial number as well as firmware and
booter version of your MXK10.
CHAPTER 5-6
5.5 System Info
20 21
If you are going to use your bike on a track, for track days
or competition and wish to take the maximum advanta-
ge from MXK10, you will probably need to install a few
sensors (suspension potentiometers, brake pressure..) and
connect them to AiM Channel Expansion (shown here
below), a small module that you will connect to the EXP
Port in the back of the device.
The steps to follow are:
n install Channel Expansion
n connect MXK10 to your PC via Wi-Fi or through the USB
port with an optional USB cable
(part number V02563030)
n configure MXK10 according to the sensors you have
installed
n calibrate the sensors
n run your test
n download the data, in order to analyse them
You may in any case have a quick review of your data on
the display, without downloading them (Data Recall)

CHAPTER 9
30 31
Two possible Wi-Fi connection modes are available.
1 – As an access point (AP – default)
This is the ideal configuration for one only device and
one only computer. In this situation MXK10 creates a Wi-
Fi network and works as an Access Point the PC can be
connected to.
9. Wi-Fi conguration
2 – Existing network (to connect to an exi-
sting Wi-Fi network – WLAN)
This mode is complex and implies an external access
point (AP) but it is also more flexible and powerful be-
cause allows the communication among more than
one device and more than one computer in the same
network. MXK10 and the PC must connect to an existing
Wi-Fi network made by a device that works as an external
access point.
When working in WLAN mode MXK10 has two available
security levels:
n network authentication: network password
n device authentication: MXK10 password
Both levels allow you the use of different strategies. A PC
in WLAN, for example, can see several AiM devices but can
communicate only with those he knows the password of.
Forgetting the password Wi-Fi configuration can be reset
from MXK10 menu as explained in paragraph 5.2.4.
9.1 Conguring MXK10 dash logger
as an access point (AP)
This is MXK10 default configuration and is the easiest and
most direct connection mode, ideal to communicate with
one MXK10 logger using one PC. It is free and so comple-
tely accessible by anyone. Please set an access password
as soon as possible.
To establish a Wi-Fi connection:
n ensure that the Wi-Fi is enabled (set on Auto or on ON)
n read MXK10 Name (7400107 in the image below)
n run Race Studio 3
n click Wi-Fi icon and select your device
n in a few seconds the connection is established

CHAPTER 9
32 33
To set other parameters create a unique password to protect the device/ network. With a password the communication
is safe and encrypted using WPA2-PSK standard.
Characters allowed in the password are all letters, also capital, all digits and these characters: ‘+-_()[]
{}$£!?^#@*\\\”=~.:;/%”
“Space” type can be used if it is not the first one because this could cause incomprehension in some WindowsTM ver-
sions.
This AP or SSID name is unique for the device.
An example of name is:” AiM-MXK10-7400107” where:
n “AiM” is the prefix of all AiM devices
n “MXK10” is the device identifier
n “0107” is device serial number assigned by the factory.
To make a device more recognizable a name can be added to the SSID. With the limit of eight characters. Allowed cha-
racters are all letters, capital too, all digits and these characters: ‘+ - _ () [] {}!.
“Space” type can be used provided that it is not the first one because it can cause incomprehension in some Win-
dowsTM versions.
Adding, for example, the driver’s name, Tom Wolf, the network name (SSID) becomes:
”AiM-MXK10-0107-TomWolf”
Once all parameters set click “Transmit”. MXK10 logger reboots and is configured with the new parameters. If MXK10
logger is protected by a password, as recommended, Race Studio 3 will ask that password to authenticate.
Please Note: the same Wi-Fi connection can be created with the operative system tool.
Once the device has been authenticated in the Wi-Fi network it can communicate using Race Studio 3.

CHAPTER 9
To obtain connectivity on the device the PC has to be authenticated to the same network as shown here below.
34 35
This situation is ideal for a team with multiple drivers and staff members and is desired to communicate with one or
more AiM devices using the same PC network. Each MXK10 logger can have its password that adds another security
and privacy level to the network.
Race Studio 3 will show all MXK10 loggers connected to the same network under “Connected devices”label, bottom
left of the software page: click the device.
Enter “Wi-Fi and properties” tab and set it on “Existing Network”; fill in network name, network password and device
password.
Transmit the network settings to the device clicking “Transmit”: it reboots and joins that network.
Please note: the only admitted password are those following WPA2-PSK standard.
9.2 Adding MXK10 loggers to an existing network
To complete this procedure use Race Studio 3 software as here explained.
Here above is shown a device “MXK10 ID 74000107” that switched from AP to WLAN mode (Existing Network).
Network name is “network_2” and does not work with free access because is protected by a password.
When the PC is authenticated to the network called “network_2” it can see all devices you configured to access the
same network. In the image below three AiM devices are connected to the same “network_2”WLAN.
