 Welcome to Woolich Racing |
Welcome and thank you for your interest in Woolich Racing products!
We sell products that allow you to reflash your motorcycle's ECU, so that you can tune your bike to the limit and achieve the best possible performance. Woolich Racing also offers a selection of 'Race Tools' to further increase the capabilities of your motorcycle, these including Quickshifter/Autoblipper for clutchless gear changing, Launch Control and more. To tune your bike with the Woolich Racing Software, you (or your tuner) will need to purchase: - An interface (USB or Log Box)
- Harness (either on-bike, or bench) (Some models also need an extension harness)
- Bin File (the standard binary file flashed to your ECU, and Key (licence) to tune 1 bike)
You will also need a PC to install the software and connect the interface to. This allows you to tune your bike an unlimited number of times. The hardware, and software we provide allows the maps in the ECU, to be changed by you or your Tuner. Changing the maps allows the adjustment of the air-fuel ratio to a safer mixture when changing the exhaust on a stock bike, as well as changing the ignition timing, and a host of other maps and settings. A skilled tuner is required to get the correct mixture at all RPM's, and throttle positions. A Tuning shop will normally put the bike on a dyno, and monitor the air-fuel ratio while running the bike through the RPM's. They then make changes to the fuel maps based on the results, and 'tune' your bike. For some models this can be done with the basic USB Package without removing the ECU from the bike. Other models require the ECU to be pulled out of the bike to be flashed using a bench harness. For most customers, they will prefer to take their bike to a dyno tuner to tune their motorcycle, but if you are willing to spend the time to learn how to tune your bike, and to spend the time iterating the tune to achieve a desired result, buying your own kit could be a great investment.

| I have bought a second-hand Interface (USB or Log Box) - How Can I Use It? |
The Woolich Racing Tuned software can be used to tune your bike and get the best performance out of it. This article describes the steps needed to transfer ownership of second-hand Woolich Racing products to your account so you can use them to tune your bike.
To tune your bike with the Woolich Racing Software, you will need the following: - A communication interface (USB or Log Box)
- Harness (either on-bike, or bench)
- Bin File (the standard binary file to write to your ECU and the associated key (licence) to tune 1 bike)
The components listed above are available to purchase as packages for all supported motorcycle models on our Products page. These packages include everything needed to get started on tuning your bike.
If you have purchased some Woolich Racing products second-hand, either by themselves or installed onto a bike, there are certain steps that you will need to compete in order to be able to use them.
The communication interfaces used to 'talk' to an ECU (e.g. USB or Log Box) are registered to the account of their owner; these cannot be used with other accounts. In order to use a second-hand communication interface (e.g. USB or Log Box), you will need to transfer the ownership of the device(s) from the seller to your own Woolich Racing account.
Please note: We do not transfer devices between accounts just so you can temporarily loan it to a friend.
There are a few steps that both the seller and buyer need to go through to successfully transfer ownership.
Transferring ownership of Woolich Racing equipment to a new owner.
Seller instructions - Please email support@woolichracing.com and let us know the following
- Confirm that you have sold the hardware, and inform us exactly what hardware is being sold.
- Tell us who the buyer is (Name and email required)
- Confirm that you give your permission to transfer of the device to the Buyer.
Buyer instructions- Create a new Woolich Racing Customer account
- Important: Fill out the registration/new account form completely, do not leave any blank fields as this will delay us being able to verify and activate the new account.
- Create a Support Ticket in our online portal and include the following information
- Your Woolich Racing account username (email address)
- Let us know that you have purchased second-hand Woolich Racing products
- Include a list of all parts included
- Include photos of the items included
- Include the Serial Number(s) of any Race Tools products
- Tell us who the seller is (Name and email required)
Once your Woolich Racing account is verified, you will be able to download the Woolich Racing Tuned software and install it on your PC.
If the Buyer is taking the whole package including a bike, then after the interface transfer is done, we will send further instructions for transferring the Key/License for the Woolich-flashed ECU.
The key in the ECU may or may not be eligible for a transfer as bin file keys may only be transferred once. If your key has exceeded this limit, it would be ineligible for transfer.
To determine this you will need to purchase a bin file key so that you can read the ECU and submit the key transfer request. If it is found to be eligible for a key transfer we will refund or replace the bin file key. If it is not eligible for transfer then you can continue to use the purchased key on this ECU.
If you are only buying the Woolich Hardware without a bike, then you will also need to purchase any required harnesses to fit your bike, as well as a Key/License to flash your ECU.

| Kawasaki Bench Harness 22 and 23 - Which one Do I Need? |
This article specifically relates to ECUs and harnesses for several Kawasaki models from 2020 onwards. These models use bench harnesses for ECU flashing and cause some confusion when trying to select the correct harness to use to connect the Woolich Racing Communication Interface (Log Box or USB) to the ECU as there are 2 different versions of the ECU plugs.
The bikes affected by this all use the Kawasaki Bench Harness 22 or 23 and are listed below. The information below helps to identify which version you have and then to understand which harness you will need to flash the ECU. The Kawasaki Bench Harness Type 22 is normally for the full power models, and both ECU plugs are the same size. The Kawasaki Bench Harness Type 23 is normally used for the restricted models, the ECU has a larger plug, so it requires a different Bench harness. This is not related to the options in the Woolich Racing Tuned software, only the physical size of the ECU plug. 
2020+ Models which are currently affected include (but are not limited to): - Ninja 400 / EX400
- Ninja 650 / EX650
- Versys 650
- Vulcan S 650
- Z400
- Z650
- Z900
- Z900 RS
- ZX6R (636)

| Harley Davidson Sportster 2006-2013 - Bench Harnesses |
Harley Davidson Sportsters manufactured between 2006 and 2013 have one of two different ECUs which have different pin layouts of the ECU connectors.
This does not affect on-bike flashing of these models as the harness used for reading/writing (Harley Davidson Harness Type 1) is connected to the 4-pin Harley Davidson Diagnostic plug. Bench flashing of these ECUs does require a direct connection to the ECU and so Woolich Racing offers two different bench harnesses for flashing these ECUs. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct bench harness for your particular ECU is chosen.
The images of the ECUs shown below can be used to compare with your ECU to ensure that the correct bench harness is chosen.
The image below shows an ECU that is compatible with the Harley Davidson Bench Harness Type 1. These ECUs have 36-pin connectors with 2 rows of 18 pins. If your ECU looks like this then it is compatible with the Harley Davidson Bench Harness Type 1.
Sportster ECU - Compatible with Harley Davidson Bench Harness Type 1
The image below shows an ECU that is compatible with the Harley Davidson Bench Harness Type 3. These ECUs have 73-pin connectors. The connector has 2 rows of 16 pins, another 2 rows of 20 pins as well as a large single pin. If your ECU looks like this then it is compatible with the Harley Davidson Bench Harness Type 3.
