My friend has bought an ex-stolen-recovered Honda CBR600F bike, and it doesn't work.
There is no ignition barrel, (four cut wires instead), and it has no spark or ignition. He is pretty good with mechanical stuff and thinks there's a problem with the ECU (pictured). I suspect it has an in-built immobiliser or something. He has found out that he can get a replacement ECU for £450 from Honda.
Does anybody know anything about these bikes, or can anybody suggest a good forum to discuss further?
Can the ECU's be recoded or anything? Does the ignition barrel do something a bit more tricky than simply act as a switch?
Please excuse the shite pictures. Camera phones really are useless.
This is what I understand to be the ECU.

The four cut-wires from where the ignition barrel would be.

VIN plate. Does this say anything useful?

This is the alarm that was on it. I presume it just detects motion/tilt, and activates the horn & lights. Doesn't look like a problem.
