We recommend that you attach an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) device to your motorcycle. ETC is a system that collects tolls without stopping your motorcycle without cash in Japan. There are two types of lanes, purple and green, at the toll booths of Japanese Expressways. The purple lane is for ETC and can be passed without stopping at the toll booth. If your motorcycle does not have an ETC device attached, go through the green lanes. On the green lane, there is a clerk who collects tolls.

There are two types of ETC for motorcycles in Japan, a separate type and an integrated type. The photo on the left is an example of installing a separate type ETC for motorcycle.

The ETC antenna and LED are attached to the base of the clutch lever. The antenna and LED are mounted on a small table.

The body of the separate ETC for motorcycles is stored under the seat. Since the ETC body is fixed with hook and loop tape, it can be easily removed.

The image on the left shows a motorcycle ETC with the lid open. In this state, the ETC card can be inserted and removed.

You can open the lid without removing the ETC body from the motorcycle. However, be careful when inserting the card.

The LED flashes red while identifying the card. If the ETC body recognizes the ETC card normally, the LED will change from red to green. If the ETC card is not inserted properly, the LED will not turn green.
