Good point Dave and thanks Nachodaddy for your patience and perseverence ( very important ingredients ) and the offer of the ecu.
Unless I'm wrong it is not a case of extracting the software out of the unit, ( who can read and understand it anyway? )normally that is protected/not available from the manufacturer, you typically overwrite the software with a new version.
That leaves two options; swap it with a working ecu with identical part numbers and see what happens or ask a cooperative ( overseas ) dealer to update the software.
That would provide a user willing to spend the money and go through the exercise with a replacement unit etc.
By the way i'm still a bit unclear if the ecu reset had an effect on the bike apart from the new ecu behaving as we all expect from Honda.
