Yesterday played very little with the maps and changed my RPM limit to 2700RPM. Just to check that it really work! Didn't try like that but now can say that I run it to the limiter in my carage  . Anyway after looking the maps for my friend B-model ('03) I was looking the ignition maps and as said there is a different map for first gear and other gears. But is that difference really to lower performance because it is an advance of timing compared to other gears? Is it because that way it ignites early and will burn better and make less pollution (to get easier trough EPA)? So question is those that have removed the first gear only map (or made it same as the orher gears): did it help with power or loose it? It also seems like the A1 model has a little bit conservative ignition map as the other gears in B-model. And also there are also quite high numbers in the middle of a A-model map - are these also to lower pollution? Have anyone tried to lower them some and maybe advance the whole map a little elsewhere?

copy the second gear map and paste it into the first gear map and the first gear lower power will be fixed.

The first gear ignition map is there to restrict power so people don't grab a fist full of throttle and flip the bike over on top of themselves. People who have tried said it makes a noticeable difference, not necessarily in a good way.
BTW Congrats to you guys for bringing a freeware option of the ZX-12.

so what do i have to get all to do this? for my friend todd who i hacked a ecu for him to get his revs higher. are the new freeware defs in the rar file that you can download for all bikes or do i have to change numbers for mem locations from ridges deffs.?

Psyche has the definitions for his program for download...
But I run in to a problem (or atleast I think so):
I'm going to raise the RPM limiter to 12000RPM and also remove the retard in the uppermost column of ignition tables to the same as every other column before that. But I can't do it. It seems like the straight copy paste dosen't work because it can't write the same. Also the arrows for fine and coarse tuning don't do anything. I think that it is because of the scaling or does somebody have any other ideas why it won't let me write the right numbers. For example in Coil 1 Map A in 100% throttle 12000 RPM reads 32,5 and I would like to change it to 33,6 like the one over it. The arrows don't do anything and if I use the Set function it seems like it only works for integers: 34-> 33,9; 33->32,9. If I try 33,6 or anything in between it's always 32,9. Any ideas?

After playing a little noticed that it happens in the other maps too that have partial part on the map. I think that it's because here in Finland we use , as a separator and not . as in US. When changed the definition to read plain bytes (0-254) the adjustments work fine. Has somebody any ideas or maybe I'll just change the definition files to the "bytemode"...

Fixed it! It in deed had something to do with the local setting as I changed my windows localization to English(USA) everything worked! So if somebody over here in Europe runs in to the same problem that is the solution!

There may be some differences but this seems like I have Ebay #360267067466. Before You start change the LPT port to Normal/One directional or SPP. Look trough the files before You erase them. There was some problems with some computers... The schema that psychegr send on TLforum side (there is link couple page back) also works and is really easy to do.

ok there is a problem with that one for me. we do not have old parallel ports. most went to usb. guess a usb to parallel adapter is needed.

i found some on ebay cheep. i bet 10 bucks for usb adapter at the most.
so can you explane the program used for flashing and which program it is
(give every one a link to the flashing program that uses the cable) and the pin out for the cable to the ecu wireing in one post to make it easy to find.

Don´t buy those usb to paraller adapters. Because they are probably just printer adapters and don´t offer real Paraller port. At least the ones I´ve seen when I was looking for a one couple years ago. You need a real paraller port

I have to agree with tuusinii. You need a real parallel port with an address 0x378h. I designed the program to work just like motorola stated but i am working on a USB version of it. When i will have it ready you will surely know.

Link to a .rar program:

Pinout comes with the adapter and the pinout for the ECU can be found here:

But check the pinout at the adapter!

so people need a pcmcia to parallel adapter currently?
it looks like they are about 25 shipped in the usa on ebay. not real bad i guess .
only two of the parallel bdm cables showed up on ebay. it may get hectic for getting one
later on.
i want to get set up to do this to give to the guy i hacked his ecu for more rpms.
thanks for doing this for everyone else.

Send the beer to me and i will see what i can do!!! I am also waiting for news from a Hayabusa beta tester! It is time to give those 16bit ECUs more attention than before.!!!!!

Hola from Costa del Sol!
I remember RR finding out that the later 04- ZX12 used the 32 bit version like busas and can be written without using the BDM port. Of course You'll need the actual data before You can write it back and that can be done only trough the BDM. Then it still needs to be deassebled to know what is where... RR had started the project but as 12 is getting older and older maybe there wasn't big enough interest in it. Also as it uses different ECU the code is much different to the Denso ECU so You have to start everything from the scratch. Allthough the Busa thing could be much of help... Maybe RR could give ansver has he done anything to the project?

i think he got a 04 or 05 to take apart for science. i think it is on his list of things to do.

Well I got the wego 3 hooked up to the 12 but I am not getting ANY rpm signal, I hooked up to the light blue wire just out side the instrument cluster, top left wire when looking at the back of the cluster. I am at a loss, I thaught maybe I wasnt getting a good connection but after redoing it, still nothing? What am I doing wrong?

I would like to say that special thanks for RR setting up this topic and motivating us to go throught both the pain and pleasure for getting into ecu tuning. Last week was special moment, first brain transfer to a kawi was completed - the video should tell more than words, but do note that on this bike no add on boxes: all mapping, quick shifter and nitrous controller are all done by using a stock ecu which was borrowed from a stock k8 buza. Still have some issues, bug gradually getting there.
