Figured I'd start a thread dedicated to sharing resources and findings associated to the Gen5 Kit ECU and harness. Let's keep this DEDICATED TO KIT ECU ONLY. I don't want this thread getting cluttered up with questions about how you can map the Kit ECU values to your woolich system. It doesn't work like that.
For now I'll start it off with sharing the v1.00, v1.10 software, service manual and calibration manual pdf's:
Cool tidbit, Gen5 KIT harness has two connectors, which can be used to connect to the kit ECU. One at the front and one at the tail. Both are also a source of switched power if you want to power a device. AiM Solo DL lap timer has an option of connecting to the kit harness (one of these two plugs) to log data--and at the same time, it gets power. Very clean. Gen4 kit harness only had one connector at the front and it didn't have power. So thanks Kawasaki!
Lanister, do you know of a source for a shorter Solo DL cable so I can tap into the front connector without having to wrap/hide a bunch of cable? Thanks

Solo DL comes with shorter cable and just open wires at the other end. I looked up and bought plug and crimped it myself. It's only 4 wires. All cost me $8.
I have heard about an upcoming "update" back at the end of 2017. From the conversation, it seemed like it might be more than just software update but might even include a kit-ecu factory flash. This was entirely hear-say kind of information so I wouldn't be surprised that it is nothing more than Fi Software version update you've mentioned. Current version being 1.10, also referred to as "Advanced." Advanced is a bit of a misnomer since it's not so much about being able to do more advanced things but rather certain controls are better. Such as quick shifting and engine braking. The values are the same as older version (1.0) but what they mean at the ECU level is very different.
Very much looking forward to hearing what 1.3 is about and what else it might entail.
From what Bryan was explaining, the v1.3 update “fixed all the problems” with the older versions. I cannot comment on any of this because I’ve yet to invest in the kit ECU.
Trust me, once my R1 sells I will be getting the whole system and start out with the v1.1 to get a baseline, then move up.

Wonder what those "all problems" are. Glad to hear that Kawi is continuing to support the technology. Much like with 1.10, it will be a purchasable item. Version 1.0 came with the kit ecu, 1.10 was about $50-60 at the dealer. Just need to know the part number. What's good is that 1.10 comes with a document, which explains the differences in the new, advanced version. I'm sure 1.3 will have something of that sort as well. Can't wait
@Lanister: Did you find that updating to v1.1 gave better results with "wheelie-control"? I'm still running v1.0 and have never been able to find a setting that didn't allow it to occasionally 12-o'clock and try to flip without killing drive off corners.
Then again, maybe I'm just no good at finding the right settings, and v1.0 is fine.
Sure it’s 1.3? Not the 1.03v? 1.03 is the version that fixed most issues before they brought out 1.1 but it was only available if you knew the right people.

The kit ECU flash will be coming soon as the 2019 FIM Superstock regulations change so that teams have to run standard ECU. So, everyone will have to switch to something similar to what BMW have been doing with the HP Calibration kits. Wouldn’t doubt the 2019 zx10 gets an updated ECU.

I know I could dive into it and figure it out. But it's cold and I'm un-motivated at the moment lol But I'm wondering, do you have to remove all of the front fairings or any of the fairings for that matter to get the headlight assembly out?
Thanks,

I recently got an 07 zx10r and I love it. About 4 days ago near the end of my ride which is about a 20 minute ride on the highway at speeds that fluctuate between 70mph to 120mph I began to get a red blinking light and the FI began to flash. There was no loss of power and it made it home no...
Hello there,
My stock rotors are about to die and I need a replacement, obviously. Having a hard time deciding which one to choose. I've run thru the forum but found mostly advertisement posts or non-gen4 topics.
The question is stupidly simple, could you please share your experience which is...
trying to do the block off plates... took out the velocity stacks and the bolt under the damper bracket... ROCK SOLID
the hoses had some play but the airbag lower half would not move a single mm. I mean rock solid. felt/looks like throttle body clamps on the underside but I cant get under to...
