Online VFR Salvage Yard??? Need ECU!

I have a 6th generation VFR and the ECU died on a road trip.

Does anyone now of any good online salvage yards where I might be able to find an ECU?

Thanks!

 

For 7th GEN.................Are you kidding me? Your best bet is looking on fleebay or online store

 

Opps, I think had type O! 6th generation, 2004 VFR.

 

Type O! It's a 6 gen.

 

Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

I have been looking on ebay, but no luck. I owe you a beer or maybe I will destroy a sand castle in your honor.:smile:

 

Glad thing work out for you..........Another sucess story on VFRW

 

Just wondering if that will work for a 2004? Part numbers are different.

 

Not sure if this is also relevant by when I exported my 2007 UK VFR800 to France I had to swap out the ECU - as the power output exceeded the maximum BHP allowed for French registration. I recall the process was made more expensive as I had to get new keys coded to match the new immobiliser settings in the new ECU.

 

Tink also accepts oatmeal creme pies as payment....:lol:

 

The different numbers may have to do with the different programming of the ECU. The map is different for the 2006 and newer bikes; the VTEC engagement point was lowered to 6600 RPM instead of the previous 7000 RPM. I don't know and am too lazy to look it up to see if the plugs are different...

 

I'll probably pick it up. It's kind of crazy why the 2 different ecu's cost is so different.
2006 New $462
2004 New $661
At cycle parts warehouse

He has got a 30 day return policy.

 

Another thing the Honda dealership diagnosed the issued by pulling an ecu from a new VFR and putting it in mine. So maybe it will work.

 

Honda dealership did not recommend using the 06 ecu. So, if anyone knows any good online salvage yards. I have been looking and nothing on ebay yet.

 

I think he was a little scared cuz his kid was building a sandcastle off in the distance, and I told him I owed you one castle destroyed!:chaingun:

He said it's a completely different part and that I would most likely end up with some technical issues. Miss firing or worse.

Kind of funny that the parts prices vary so much. Makes me think something is different about each part.

I suspect the different ECU was how Honda implemented the changed vtec cut-in thresholds which applied from 2006 onwards models. I don't know whether there were any mechanical changes implemented at the same time which could cause other issues, but I noticed that the ABS sensor ring on the later models seemed different from earlier ones so I guess the breakers may have good grounds for being wary about suggesting you fit a part from a later model.
