    I think the ecu was set up differently for the changes they made on the engine for the 6&7

    Ah ok thanks guys, will pass on it then to be sure.. It was from the US where there is no HISS to avoid the key / ECU issue..

    If your getting an ecu from the states I would double check it's a full power version because some states like California are possibly restricted due to emissions

    cost sps only reason, people want big money for the ecu and matching keys, ecu from the us are about 100 including shippng costs, 200 + for uk ecu's and keys

    As mentioned the US ECU is not the Full FAT power EU version so maybe worth spending the extra oner IMHO and get a UK/EU one

    On the subject of ecu if you did buy a USA version do you know anyone that could reflash it with eu data if that's possible?

    Hmm not sure SP.. I was planning on using a Power commander with custom map anyway due to the custom exhaust perhaps that can work around any "US issues"

    I thought the main difference on US ECU was the lack of hiss security features? With the exception of the Californian bikes due to extra smog stuff being fitted!
    The missing hiss stuff is the reason a lot of track bikes converted to the US ECU from the European versions!


    ......................never mind me I read further back in the thread, that's what I get for reading newest posts first!:mad:
