The reset procedure that PB was so gracious to detail above was (effectively) done on my ECU when they swapped it to the other bike. The values were all reset before trying my unit on the other bike. So, for good or bad, I'm getting the new ECU.
Also, they misquoted the cost on Saturday. They are charging me a little over $500 for the new ECU and no additional labor to install it. I don't know exactly, but I think they're charging me a couple hours of labor for the diagnostics including the test swap. I suppose that they could have just done the PeterBaron test and skipped the swap out, but I'm ok with their process as it's pretty rare to have the ECU fail and they wanted to isolate the problem to the ECU.
So 1 new ECU and 2 new tires and a repair cost approximately equal to 25% of the bike's value. I must really love my CB1100. LOL
Hey Matt!
Glad you got tour bike back on the road. Never easy to dump money on unanticipated repair costs. Early this year I had to replace a rear tire on my Goldwing due to a screw in the sidewall...right after the PA rally. Tire had less than 2,000 less miles...about 10,000 sooner that normal.
Two things to remember:
(1) “There are no pockets in a casket”.
And
(2) “ I never saw a hearse pulling a U-haul”
Move on and enjoy the next ride!
