Hey all,
New here and to riding in general. Just purchased my first ebike ever! 05 zx600rr! Went through all the motions of to start on a 600 or not, ended up with a 600 nd I couldn't be happier! That said... One thing that could make me happier is solving this issue I'm having.. I've read about others with an 05 having problems with the bike cutting off and I seem to be in decent company. I at first thought it was a temp cut off. However the reading I've done has led me to believe it is an ecu overheating issue. My question is this: should I buy a new or used ecu from an 06 as I've heard they do not suffer from this malady? Or should I just try and beef up the heat protection around the egg (wherever the hell that thing is)? I guess I'm asking if the ecu is already damaged? Any input would be awesome. The bike rides great for a while then I pick up on what feels like a flutter that turns into a complete engine cut off with the oil light on once the engine dies. By this point I'm coasting and pissed off so ill pull over. I can start the bike after this point but I have to keep on the throttle to stop the bike from dying. Once it sits for a while it returns to normal and all is well again for some time. Again let me know if I can add more info or take some other measures before I make a semi expensive purchase like another ecu.
