Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Im new to this so here goes,

I picked my bike up the other day after it had been sitting for around 9 months, replaced the battery to find once i tried to start it the dash wash flashing the fi light & the code 39. The fuel pump isnt priming on start up nore is there any spark or exhaust servo. Rang bike store after bike store they hand no idea of code 39, all they could say was check all your earths, fuses & plugs. Well after 4 days i had the shits big time with it so i took it to a kawasaki dealer for them to hav a look.
They couldn't get the computer to read the ecu, they came up with an answer after bout an hour. The ecu is rat shit, im askin to see if anyone else has any ideas be for i go looking for an ecu as a new oem part is $1800 bucks.

Welcome to KSRC, sounds like big problems you got there, If a second opinion comes back with the same diagnosis I would be checking ebay in the states for a second hand one

Shit thats cheap!

Ive had a look on ebay already, its just that the other countries ecu have different item numbers to the aus version, or dont it matter.

I REALLY DONT KNOW <<<<<(Just covering myself)
I dont think there would be very much difference they all come from the same place
and theres only a few different laws between Oz and the Us
mostly emmision type regulations
Again i really dont know the absolute facts just my two bob

I'm running an American ECU and Ignition barrel on my 2006 ZX10 Tracky and it seems fine. The only problem is the US don't seem to have the immobiliser fitted so I just have a plain key, but no immobilser. That's good for a tracky but not so sure re a roady.

Good luck with it

well if any will fit ill try to get a european ecu as they run an immobilizer, i rang a heap more shops today, they all gave me the same answer bout the ecu, if the computer can't connect its dead
