From: Champ on 24 Sep 2009 16:56 I've run in a little complication with my intention to fit my race ZX10R engine in my road bike. The race motor really needs the race ECU. The race ECU only works with the race loom (it plugs into the road one, but just doesn't work). The race loom doesn't have any connectors for lights, indicators, horn, etc. The only solution I can think of is to splice the road stuff into the race loom. Modern bike wiring looms are fearsome things, and it's a job that is definitely way beyond me. So, can anyone recommend an auto electrician who'd be up for such a job? -- Champ ZX10R (road), ZX10R (race; breaking), GPz750 turbo (classic) Hayabusa (touring) To email me, neal at my domain should work.

Have you got a schematic diagram of the loom for either ECU type bike? I'll bet you'll find they are very similar indeed with only minor mods, or maybe pins etc. I can help you easily if you have a diagram. Lights & things like indicators usually use relay logic to operate & dont have much to do with the engine ECU. As i say, if you have some diagrams i can probably sort the loom, but it will be more like sensors or pinouts that are different. You have my number. -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue

Just not by me... heh. Stuff like this is easy. Compare both diagrams to start with, there will be something very obvious. Or, it could be something as simple as a sensor not in the loom, or maybe it needs a shunt etc. feel free to ring to avoid costs :) -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue

He has both wiring diagrams, so highlighting the differences in in the ECU wiring on the loom shouldn't be that hard ... Paul. |
