Instrument swop, immobiliser issue

[desmobloke]

My Motoscpoe Mini arrived the other day, it's very cool. But now to fit it. I plan to get a replacement set of instruments (incase of blunders) for my '02 750ie, strip them down, box them up and stash the whole package wherever I can, maybe under the tank. I think I can fool the immobiliser etc and ECU this way but reinstating the idiot lights looks like a tricky proposition. I know this may not be a new thread but I gotta ask, I know someone's tried it... Any advice welcome. Cheers.

'Stew's done this, hopefully he's got pointers.

Your other choice, if you want a cleaner (also more $$$) setup is to go with an FIM ECU. These get rid of the immobilizer, so you can swap out the gauges. Although I don't know if they make an ECU for the '02 m750...

FIM don't list an ECU for my 750, maybe the 620 version can be tweaked, it's certainly expensive but it would be a far more elegant solution. (I'm not too bothered by the immobiliser, Just want to lose the instrument pod) I think a little more research is in order. Meanwhile I hooked up the Motogadget Miniscope to a battery to check out how it would look. Even better than I expected! A classy piece of kit.

Or is that Motoscope Minigadget? any way it's stiil cool.

The Mini is my favorite MotoGadget gauge -- I use them on my personal bikes in fact. (if anyone wants a black MotoScope Classic w/MotoSign -- I have one in the box for sale -- never mounted -- display purposes only!)

A couple of ways to beat the ECU.

1) FIM chip of course
2) Stuart method -- hide the board in a housing somewhere underneath the tank (POD's and toss airbox to make room)
3) MSD and put FCR's on it!
4) put an older wiring harness / ECU into it that is pre-immobolizer.

How much?

AFAIK, the FIM ECU is basically the same part for any '02 and later Monster, it's just the map that's installed that would tailor it to a specific model.
