As I'm dismantling the bike to fit a new exhaust system I thought I'd remove the exhaust valve cable that's been dangling redundantly for the last 6 years. How about the unit itself, and the wiring to it :?: Can I remove all that as well, or do the wires also do other important stuff :?:

You can take the wires off too but if you don't disable the error checking in the ECM the broken engine light will come on.

I would say so cos you can junk the motor and use the space for marmalade sandwiches.

EcmSpy Cable for PC/Laptop
The Connection between the PC and the Buell ECM happens via a special cable and dongle. A direct connection is not possible due to the nature of the socket on the Buell ECM, which is different from a serial-type PC connector, and also because both systems have different voltage requirements which are not directly compatible.
As the USB ports seems to be used far more widely nowadays than the traditional serial ports (RS232), it was decided to stop the development of the RS232-ECM connector and concentrate on the USB solution instead. One of the biggest suppliers of USB-IC's is a company called FTDI. They also offer a USB-to-Serial converter which works with the ECM. All sealed into the USB connector. Once installed, the driver software 'presents' a virtual serial port to the application.
To connect to the ECM's diagnostics port only one additional connector is required. This connector can be obtained from a company called Deutsch IPD, part number "DT 06-4S". Only three of the four connections in the ECM's diagnostic port are active. Transmit (pin 3), Receive (pin 1) and Ground (pin 2). The numbers are engraved on the back of the Deutsch connector.


Aaargh :o Does anyone sell ready made cables :?: If I try to do that myself I'll probably have more problems with the cable than the software lOl

Thanks for the links Dr B :yup: I have already sourced a cable thanks :!: However, reading the blurb on the Trojan site, it says you don't need to do anything if you have the race ECM fitted, which I do lOl

Anyway, I'd still like to get to grips with the software :P
