I just put a race ECM in my 04 XB12 and noticed that the fan seems to cycle on and off when cool and that the check engine light illuminated on the highway while I was doing about 75 MPH. Other than that, it seems to work great...Im running the Buell race muffler as well.

Has anybody else had this happen?

Does the engine light come on each time you get up to 75, or was this a one time thing?
Check all the connections going to the ECM, making sure they're nice and snug.

I double checked the connections. The light @ 75 mph came on after a 5 or 10 min push down the interstate. I was thinking that the bike may have thought that it was overheating.

Mine did the same when the stator and regulator took a crap. CEL and skip spark mode above 75MPH.

I'd check the battery, stator and regulator.

The CEL timing may be coincidental to the installation of the ECM.

Timing, when it happened, coincidence

That might be what my obese Scottish friend is eluding to.

The timing of the occurrence of the Check Engine Light.

Sorry for the confusion.

LOL, So the common thought here is that I may have elec. issues independent of the new ECM. Good deal. Ill have the Dealer check it out when they install a new motormount (under warranty of course).

Thanks abunch.
