That does sound good, doesn't it? Nice growl.

Now to win Lotto...

It's been a difficult time, but have made the decision to sell my ST1300 as I have lost too much riding confidence, and have found the older I get the heavier the bike has become.
And arthritis hasn't helped either.

Hi Peter, sorry to hear that, but can sympathise with you as I am considering the same but am got to do one last Border Run first. We can always string along to meets in our cars!

The knock sensor’s location and proximity to exhaust headers make them prone to heat damage, check condition of connector, continuity to ground and ecm. Maybe try replacing the knock sensor first. Best luck.
Cheers.

Is this just an expensive experiment?

Who knows, like Steve said, time will tell...

I did read elsewhere that they have had a couple of issues...one truck didn't make it back to the depot and had to be towed apparently due to a particularly hot day which could be an issue down the track what with global warming and all...

Anyhow, hopefully it's more successful than Janus Electric's trial where they lost 2 out of 6 trucks to fire...

are you sure it's the ECU? Make sure everything else is absolutely mickey duck before throwing hard earnt at an ECU.
See if you can borrow one and test first......just sayin'
I wish I'd grabbed a dollar from each person that went for the ECU .......
