I was just wondering if the ECU culd give you engine hours (1100 kwaka)? I have a rough idea on what the engine has done since its powertec rebuild, but wondered if the ECU helped at all.

Don't think so, never seen anything like that in the bike owners manual, but perhaps you need the Bike shop manual?

i made my own run timer for my sr3 based on a DC hours run meter /timer and an oli pressure switch which would run the timer when the oil pressure went over 50 psi

works nicely and you would be suprised just how much you over estimate you have run the engine for.

Great idea Dario. Do you have more details on the DC hours run meter and how it's all wired up?

this is the hours run timer
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hours-Run-Meter-10-80VDC-Rou...

i will have to get the details of the oil pressure switch.

basically what i did is tood a feed of a fused circuit take the posative supply to one side of the meter then use the oil switch to interrupt the negative supply via the oil switch.

ther ie a "T" inside the engine bay next to the oil tank which you can fit the switch to. i set the switch to close (run the meter) when the oil pressure was @ pr over 50 psi. ok it catches the cold run time (high oil pressure) but as soon as the engine is warm at idle it drops to well below the 50 psi set point. so at tickover no run time is registered on the meter.
