I get a lot of emails from people about modifying their ECUs so they can be remapped. The '..Hey would you modify my ecu for me if I paid you?" emails out number the "...hey I'm going to modify my own ecu can you give me some help.." emails 10 to 1. I didn't start out this project to make money...

OFF BIKE PROGRAMMING To program an ECU that has been removed from the bike in addition to connecting to a BDM port adapter you will need to provide power and programming voltage. The CPU inside the ECU is powered by a 5V power supply built into the ECU and operates off the ECU power input which can range an...

However, while the BDM uses a 10 pin dual row header the ECU is an 8 pin single row header. To connect the two you will need an adapter cable. BDM Description ECU 1 DS 2 BERR 3 GND 8...

Hi guys, I've ported a version of the GSXR 16bit checksum utility to the ZX-12R. This is a good tool for ensuring that the code section of your binary isn't being corrupted by an xml error or editor software bug. You can find a copy of the program and instructions here: https://sites.google.com/...

I'm looking at getting an edition of Kawasaki's Ninja motorcycle line from the years 2013-2015. I was curious as to which bike category, and bike specifically, would be good to learn on for a first bike? My Dad informed me that a Kawasaki Ninja would be a good bike to start on (he's had 7 bikes over the yea...

I finally got around to opening up the ECU I got off of eBay (Kawi Part# 21175-0038). As I suspected it is a first generation 32bit with a 7052 cpu. What that means is that it is the same type as the 02-07 Hayabusa. It can be flashed through the wire harness connectors. You do not need to cut any holes in the EC...

Hello! Has anybody looked the code enough to now how to get rid of the fuel cut of while letting of the throttle? I've used psychegr:s program to get the bike otherwice good/smooth/powerfull but the abrupt on-off-on character is still there. Does anyone have any ideas to get rid of that trough ECU?

Hi guys, I'm about 90% into my upgrades working back towards the ECU and I need some info from you. So.. we know that the Speed Senor receives it's 9 ~ 11vDC from the Gauge Meter Clock.

Hello Ridgeracer, I run my ZX12R on a free programmable ECU for reasons like traction control etc. While programming it I found your maps for fuel and ignition and have it running with them. Are you able to support me with other maps like: injection timing, temp. compensation etc. That would be really...

Didn't know where to post this but I wanted to say thanks to Ridgeracer - I've been scouring the net for some solutions to a sand rail /zx12R motor ecu problem I've been having and I got the answers via email from Marlin in less then hours. I really appreciate it man. Thanks.

In order to download and/or reprogram the map of a ZX-12 ECU you will need to 'notch' the back of the ECU in order to expose the BDM connector CN3 on the back of the board.
