Sure.
I am sure that there are many ways to achieve this, but this is mine...
Starting from the bike end, you will need an ICOM-D cable to connect to the diagnostic connector. [For no particular reason I chose this one]
You then need a way to connect that to a laptop. You need a K-LINE cable to connect ODBII to an USB port on your laptop.(cheap and readily available. More obscure... an RS232 (serial port to ODBII connection would be just as good, if not better but the cables are not as common. You can easily make your own one if you want. There are loads of K-LINE / K+DCAN cables about. You can find them on ebay. The RJ45 ones do not work with F800GS, btw.
Now, you are physically connected. You will need the software. This is where the things get tricky and you need to do a fair bit of reading. There are, of course, licensing issues with some of the proprietary software and you'll need to work out for yourself where the research/professional curiosity ends and commercial interests start. You can search further for ISTA, Rheingold and such like, if you wish...
For some instant pointers you can start on the last thread I picked up /provided some info here
That thread has further links to URLs I stumbled upon (in Italian but google translates well enough) which are remarkably useful or t'internet here:
Finally, the computer-end is important. [While I can't quite work out exactly why,] I managed to make it work on Win7 and not on Win10. Admittedly those were two different laptops, so may well be down to hardware. I was going to put together a VM with all the stuff together but I got bored and left it alone... for now at least.
That should get you started. Let us know how you get on...
