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.
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).

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.
4.2 – Icons Thanks to the wide number of icons available on its display, the dash-logger shows a good amount of information. Here follows explanation of their meaning and working mode.

In the upper part of the dash logger are 10 LED customizable shift lights (1): when all lights are on it is suggested to shift gear. Please note: to set the shift lights you need AiM Race Studio 3 software (from Race Studio 3.29.47 onwards) you can freely download from www.aim-sportline.com.

And finally, for each of the layouts there is a “Night” mode (black background) and a “Day” mode (White background) for improving the visibility in any light condition. Analog Track layout in Day mode Digital Track layout in Day mode For setting the layout preferences you have the menu.
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.
In Menu page navigate through the icons with “UP” and ”DOWN” buttons, 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.
Page 22
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.
6 – On track application If you are going to use your bike on a track, for track days or competition and wish to take the maximum advantage 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.

When MXK10 is connected it is shown on the left bottom part of the page as said before. Clicking on it all the tracks it contains are shown in the right column of the page. Tracks created by the user are labelled “User” and if the track stored in MXK10 logger is different from the one stored in AiM database this is notified as shown here above.
Page 32
Delete All: delete all tracks stored in the device memory Save all: save all the tracks stored in the connected device; it creates a zip file that can be loaded to another AiM device Load Saved: load the tracks previously saved in the device memory Since the software is constantly updated, may be other information or features will be available soon.
7 – Data recall At the end of the test sampled data can be recalled pressing “LAP”. First is “Today” page. Press “LAP” Second is “Summary” page that shows all the last tests with date and place. Select the day you see and press “SEL”. Third is “Day Summary”...
8 – Data download and analysis Once the test session is over it is possible to download data sampled on a PC. Connect MXK10 dash logger to a PC and click on it bottom left of the software page. Once reached the device page activate “Download”. layer It shows all the information concerning the file stored in the logger: number of laps, best lap, date/time, file dimensions.
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.
Page 36
This mode is complex and implies an external access point (AP) but it is also more flexible and powerful because 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.
9.1 – Configuring 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 completely accessible by anyone. Please set an access password as soon as possible.
Page 38
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”...
9.2 – Adding MXK10 loggers to an existing network 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.
Page 40
To complete this procedure use Race Studio 3 software as here explained. Here above is shown a device “MXK10 ID 74000105” 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.
Page 41
To obtain connectivity on the device the PC has to be authenticated to the same network as shown here below. 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. 41 ...
9.3 – Wi-Fi network settings In this chapter is a short description of how to configure a WLAN including AiM devices and a PC. Here below is an example of configuration. For better network performances we suggest the use of a network device equipped with a DHCP server and using 3x3 MIMO technology like, for example a Linksys AS3200.
192.168.0.1 – 6 9.4 – The Internet connectivity For an optimal speed of AiM device(s) it is recommended not to allow the Internet on the same network and to set the WLAN in the same way. The Internet access can of course be allowed on the network but this would degrade the communication.
Page 44
9.6 – Working on Mac with virtualized Windows Race Studio 3 only works on Windows operative systems; Mac users can use a virtualized Windows machine. The main problem is that the host OS (Mac) must share its Wi-Fi interface with the virtualized operative system (Windows) as Ethernet interface and not as Wi-Fi interface.
Page 45
To ensure that the communication works select “Open Network preferences…” menu. Verify that the status in the window that shows up is “Connected” and that the IP address associated is, for example, 10.0.0.10 (could be 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.12, or generically 10.0.0.x). To enable Race Studio 3 correctly working on a Mac with virtualized Windows ...
This is why we always suggest using an Wi-Fi (WLAN) router. This router work as an Access Point allowing more external devices to connect to its network. MXK10 logger Wi-Fi configuration is to be set on Existing Network as explained before.
10 – New firmware upgrade Our technicians and engineers are constantly working to improve both the firmware (the application that manages the device) and the software (the application installed on the PC). Each time a new firmware and/or software version is available the icon here above appears with an arrow indicating that something is available for download (otherwise the icon only shows the cloud).
