Thanks everybody for the sympathy towards affected riders, Doc, i would conservatively estimate around 30 and counting down.
Peterbarron, well put about updating software, if anyone has seen what software looks like, its a bit like this;
------3c cf 1g bc 3d 5f----- and goes for pages, get one of these instructions wrong and you get a very expensive paperweight, and add to that the hiss system honda incorporates which made honda motorbikes theft drop to near zero and you get a better more realistic picture of the complexity and risk management of ecm control, what would you say to someone that has his ecm reflashed, installed it into his bike and now does not even cycle on startup?
another safer approach is to buy an ecm on ebay, send it over to get updated and then swap it with the original, that cost $502. for the ecu ( have a look ) but is likely not going to work because of the hiss ( i now know hiss is not applicable in the us thanks to another member but still ).
One thing that i would like to find an answer to is; the bike ran fine for a while with the current software, WHAT CHANGED ?
Compare all this to replacing a tps ( which may be the culprit in the first place, let's find out ) and the choice becomes obvious, be very careful what you advise and make responsible suggestions.
It seems a long process but a lot of factors get in the way, we have only one guy, Dave to work with and he does a stellar job at the moment, i would really like to have more participants, but apart from john ( repaired ) and pdedse ( solved by selling the bike ) none have come forward, which slows the process down.
it may be we don't find a solution but i think we will and it feels closer than ever, the trick is to just stay calm and take careful steps forward.
i really like the phrase from doc ; At this point, a conclusion requires test results.
