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.

Hello everyone. I have joined the forums because My technical knowledge is not very great at this time. So let me start. I bought a gen 2 just last week. or rather 2 weeks ago. I test rode it before I bought it felt Great had no issues. After all the registration nonsense and work work work. I...
Here's my logic:
RED = Stop or engine trouble. Does it want me to shift or did I just loose oil pressure
YELLOW = Floor it before it turns red.
WHITE = ?
Green = Go, or neutral
Blue = High beam
Ordered up a Raptor Performance and the color thing started a fairly good debate in the shop. Now I...
I had a 14 and sold it with maybe 700miles on it. It was a great bike but the exhaust I put on was obnoxiously loud I felt like every single cop in 10miles dropped their donuts, and stuck their heads out the car to look around. It was geared to do an indicated 160 in 3rd gear after the archer...
Ok new member thanks for membership 👍
Looking at getting a new sport bike after many many years. Had a 1975 Kawasaki 900. 1013 cc kit, cam, ported heads, stripped down, glass RR tank, glass seat, Kerker exhaust, full race fairing ran about 165 mph. Not to bad way back then. Had 1987 FZR 1000...
I have a KIT ECU fitted to my bike a few days ago, but ran into a few problems while trying to adjust the stock (actually empty) fuel maps to have some not-that-weird AFR curves.
A good friend of mine is running a local DynoJet tuning shop, so he has some knowledge about tuning bikes like this...
