This is most impressive RR and if it should hit a wall you have gone way farther on the ECU than anybody I know. 
I am 99.99999% sure the mileage is stored on the board of the gauge cluster.
Actually make that 99.999999999999999.

Like Tuusinii said. I ahd the high alltitude ecu installed on my bike also, and the mileage did not reset.

The mileage is definately in the cluster because RAC4IT hooked a frequency generator to it and maxed out the odometer...

you know who he is, don't you?
You can thank him for removing the speedlimiter on all of these bikes. He's the one who cracked it way back in 01. (I believe)... If anyone can do it... he';s the guy.

hey RR, i'm sure i don't ahve to tell you great work!
it's been a long time since i worked on that type of project, but i could probably jog the old memory regarding a project using an MC68HC11 (i think) that probably works similarly, so if there is anything i may be able to help with, please let me know.

if you need any help, might be able to get some. We hack the GM ones regularly. I never could get any 12 ones for free back in 2000.

Hey Ridge - do the ECU's have some kind of pre-boxed output/programming interface? I'm wondering how one actually downloads and uploads changes to the ECU once an interface (I'm assuming RS-232?) is established?

More good news. CPU pin 70 VFPE2 is connected to one of the 'unused' pins, number 29 of the main external connectors.!!!
The cpu runs at 5V. In order to put the on chip Flash into a programmable mode the chip requires 12V be applied to two special pins VFPE2 and VFPE1 (Voltage, Flash, Program, Enable) The fact that they are externalized to the main connectors is very strong evidence that the ecu can be reprogrammed.
Also the fact that the silk screen next to the connector pin reads VFP validates, in my mind that the CPU identification and the purpose of the 'unused' pin.
On the downside this means you will not be able to program the ECU on the bike via the diagnostic plug as I had hoped. The ecu will have to be unplugged from the wiring harness to be reprogrammed.
Has anyone ever tracked down a source for ECU wire harness plugs? Because these pins are 'unused' there are no wires connected to them on the bike plugs that you could use to tap in a programming plug.
Ok, I really need to put this down now and do some real paying work. My wife is begining to feel like the wife in Brokeopen ECU Mountain; "I can't quit you ECU" :P
BTW I could still use a copy of the ECU pinout for a 2002 model. I'm using the pinout of an A2 ECU.

the ECU connectors are from S&H... I have been working for sometime(on and off) to get some samples. not very hard now. But if you need a set I will put the sample search back in full gear and see if one of my vendors can get me a few....

Mike might try K@L supply as well for connectors. I know you can get "some" of the oem style connectors from them. Might be worth a call and see if they can source others...

Most Motorola MCUs have boot code in them that allows you to read/write/erase memory from a standard 9600 baud serial port. The signals are 5v so you will need a simple 232 to TTL converter chip. I haven't had time to read through the manual on the chip yet for the details
The plan is to be able to pulg it into any PC/Laptop via an inexpensive 232 to TTL converter box.
These are just the first baby steps. There is a long road ahead. All I am doing now is verifying that it is physically possible to reprogram the ecu.
We still need to:
Figure out how to read the memory of the CPU
Build an interface
Read out the code.
Disassemble the code, figure out where the map is and how it works.
Obtain a working ecu
build a bike emulator, an electronic psuedo bike to plug the ecu into to make it think its on a bike so we can experiment with the code
write User friendly PC software to interface with the ECU
Find a volunteer willing to street or dyno test modified code on a real zx-12r
Develop and document a simple build it yourself hardware interface.
We're months away from members programming their ECUs.

Kawasaki shop manual that covers 2002 bike. Maybe one of you with a dealer friend can get a copy off their cd.
I'm looking for a diagram of which pins have which numbers that reads Terminal Numbers of ECU connectors (B1Model) and a table that says Terminal Names and has a list like
1 - Stick Coil #1 output Signal
2 - Stick Coil #2 output Signal
etc etc.
Its in chapter 2 DFI in my A2 manual

Supra just gave a cool idea. If we can find both the male and female ends of the plugs we could make a short ECU extension cord with a programming plug in the middle.
MadMike, if you could get a sample of the Female plugs that would be really helpful. Or even a part number and a weblink where to buy them.

I didn't think I had it with me but I do. I have the 2002 shop manual with the DFI diagram. I will see if I can get the appropriate pages scanned and then e-mail them to you.

Actually I just need to know if the A2 and the B1 are the same. If you look at these pages and see that they are exactly the same don't bother sending them, just let me know.

100% the mileage is stored in the cluster. I've done it.
It will NOT reset at 199,999 miles either, it simply stops at 199,999. It does not reset to zero. Again, been there, tested that, on the bench. I have photos. Do a thread search, this info was posted last year when I did it.

I checked and the A2 and the B1 have the same terminal layout. I have a question. what do the gear position position signal do to the engine?

Thanks for verifying that for me.
As for the gear position question. The short answer is it effects your mixture.
If you look in the service manual DFI Problem chart matrix of things to check for a given problem you find some interesting items under gear posistion.
Problem: Afterfire (not backfire) Descirbed as an explosion of gasses accumulated in a muffler caused by incomplete combustion in the cylinder head, wrong plug gap, burned electrode, or richer air fuel mixture; also caused by delayed ignition timing during starting and decelerating
Check;
1 Camshaft sensor
2 gear position switch
3 Inlet air sensor
4 Water Temp sensor
Problem: Backfire...lean mixture....incomplete combustion....
Check
1 Fuel Pump
2 Fuel Pressure
3 Camshaft sensor
4 Throttle Sensor
5 Gear position Switch
Problem: Stumble; when the bike is about to accelerate the engine speed cannot increase in responce to throttle opening, increases with a lag.
Check
1 Injectors
2. Fuel Pressure
3 Throttle sensor
4. Gear position switch
Its also item 6 in Hesitation, and 9th in Poor Acceleration.
It obviously does something but what exactly I won't know till I get the code hacked
I think it has to do with the pistons acceleration (not speed) The time needed for the engine to accelerate from say 5000 rpm to 6000 rpm in first gear is substantially different than it is in 6th. Same goes for deacceleration.
