Re: ECU Swap Information http://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=28896.0
Sumo, Good post and useful info. My DL in at the two wheeled centre Mansfiled Woodhouse for the wiring recall, before I go early April I will check the ECU Number. Is the advice if it is J00, J01 get rid for a J02 regardless ?
Thanks JS
Jacksnipe not regardless, otherwise this wouldn't stay a warranty issue. According to Suzuki only 3 out of 10 bikes were effected. But if your dealer is 'capable' I would want to upgrade to a J02. Regardless if my bike is running good or poor
One approach, especially in warranty, is to have You & Your Dealer
test the 'J02' ECU on your bike. Let them test drive with crappy behavior and then swap the ECU. If the bike runs way better the technician should notice it as well and make it a warranty case.
Make it a group meeting and go together with other 'sick running' DL1000A bikes to one dealer. If weather is still bad one dealer might grab the opportunity to get this 'warranty' work. If part is out of stock, check the show room DL1000A for a 'J02'
Find a rider with a 'J02' and visit a dealer. Have them acknowledge the sick behavior as well as the fix after the ECU swap. You can celebrate the ECU donor later throughout the web.
Last but not least - Five Ways of Hull (Suzuki UK Dealer award winner) seem to have done a few ECU changes and their service and communications seems to be excellent. Get them involved to explain other dealers what to look for and (sorry to say) how to do the warranty process. BTW did Five Ways of Hull receive the
Official Suzuki Notice about the RPM problems sent on August 4th 2015?
