My model year is 2023. Are all ‘17-‘23’s the same? On eBay there are some strange options for model year: 17-21, 17-19, and 17-18. Are these just generic listings that don’t know what they’re posting, or are there strange differences between ECU’s? Can anyone give me more background info on the differences from year to year and country to country? I’m in the U.S., 2023 Z900 ABS. Also, what is the smaller unit that sits on top of the ECU?
Thanks!

The 2017-19 models didn't have TC/Rider modes so avoid those ECU'S for your bike.

P.s. when i did flash of my ecu, i had an error which flasher was unable to remove, so i went straight to kawa dealer and all the mechanic told me : why do thr heck all of you trying to do a beast from a street?  Just buy a sportbike!
Deleted my error, plugged back one connector and i was free to go.

You’re saying they can’t detect if the ECU has been flashed?
You say they have better things to do than investigate for an ECU flash, but from my experience, dealerships are driven by making money. If they can get out of costly warranty repairs by FINDING out a customer potentially violated terms of the warranty, they are 100% going to do that.

They indeed make money, but out of additional services and works and materials with double price.

Thats just my 2ct, its a waste of money and time and efforts - to suspect each moto that comes for servicing 

I have been flashing all my cars and motorcycles since 2008, all was new on warranty and never ever any dealer gave-a-fouk about suspecting 🙂

But its me. Of course you can do how you feel you should.
