That's why I'm very reluctant to give in to the option of changing the ECM cos its blardy expensive. Its gonna cost me SGD900+ or about USD500+ I'm gonna start with the cheaper options, self diagnose the bike myself before I consider on the change of the knock sensor.

Alright. During rides, if the RPM exceeds 2.5k for about 10 seconds, the FI light will appear and stay lit. After I stop and put the bike on side stand with the engine running. The FI will blink for 2 long blinks, and 5 fast blinks. Indicating error 25 on the service manual. Which is the knock sensor problem. The mech did checks for me, he checked for loose or poor connections on the knock sensor, its OK. He checked for continuity from the ECM grey connector blue wire to the knock sensor, its OK. The knock sensor wasn't replaced with a new one to test again. That's where he determined the ECM was faulty. Heard from many BB owners locally they said 99 FI model have this infamous problem with the ECM. It tends to go about 4 yrs from the date it was rolled out from the production line. I wonder how true can that be, thought such things are made to last? I'll be doing a self diagnosis or maybe a "self diagnosis reset" Any of you guys done it before? Is there any pros and cons for doing that? I'll be following what the manual teach.

Any luck in getting a ECM for a 1999 manufactured blackbird? First batch of FI model. Mine's fooked. Dealer told me it gonna cost me about SGD $900 for a new one, which works out to about $500USD. Also new ignition and keys had to be used if ECM change.

Thanks all for the valuable infomation. I'll have it check by the local mechanics this weekend.

It runs about approximately 5 mins before the light appears. Thanks for the advise

Hi all I'm from singapore, currently on a 99 FI Recently the FI light appears and stays lit while I was on the move, when I stop, I turn off the ignition, turned it back on, the FI light works normally(lit up for 2 seconds before going off). But when I ride again, the FI light appears again and stays lit. I checked the manual but it does not states clearly what is the possible cause. DOes any fellow riders here have any advise? Thank you Regards
