 Bin File Key Types |
Bin File Keys are the licenses that are purchased and used to write an ECU. A bin file key grants you access to write an ECU from one particular bin file definition. This article only refers to bin file keys, and not Race Tools keys.
We have a few different pricing types for keys. For information on bulk key purchasing and allocations, please refer to this article on bulk keys.
Standard Bin File Keys In most cases, we have a standard bin file key which you can use to flash one ECU an unlimited number of times. You will need to purchase a key for each ECU you wish to write.
Free Bin File Keys Some earlier models have bin file keys which are free and readily available on any activated account. You can write as many different ECU's for free models that you would like. Free bin file keys do not need to be purchased or allocated.
Unlimited Bin File Keys Some earlier models have unlimited write access. This means that you just need to buy ONE bin file key under a particular bin file definition, then you have access to writing an unlimited number of ECU's that fall under that bin file definition. Once you have paid for ONE bin file key for an unlimited bin file, you do not need to purchase or allocate any more keys to write more ECUs.
Race Kit ECU Keys These key cost twice as much as a standard bin file key and cannot be allocated from the bulk keys page on your account, and can must be purchased directly on the website. Race Kit ECU's are the ones with model titles including 'EM-Pro' (Suzuki), 'HRC' (Honda). 'KRT Race Kit' (Kawasaki), or 'YEC' (Yamaha).
You can also use the software to check what type of bin file key a particular bin file definition has:

| How to Send a Bin File to Woolich Racing for Analysis |
Most of the time ECU flashing works without a problem but there is always the small chance that something could go wrong. ECUs from different manufacturers all have their unique characteristics as well as potential problems too.
This article describes how to read the bin file from your ECU and send it to the Woolich Racing technical support team so that they can resolve potential problems that you are having. This will typically be requested by the Woolich Racing team in a Support Ticket. Many technical support issues require that you read out the bin file from your ECU and send it to Woolich Racing so that it can be analysed in order to resolve problems and provide technical advice. If you have been asked to send your bin file to Woolich Racing, please follow the steps below. If you have a partial write failure and the ECU is non-responsive, the bike doesn't start or the fuel pump does not prime, you can go ahead and follow these instructions and create a ticket in advance, to save on Support time. **PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ THROUGH EACH STEP BELOW** NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT WRITE OVER THE ECU UNTIL THE STEPS BELOW HAVE BEEN COMPLETED! - Ensure that the computer running the Woolich Racing Tuned software is connected to the internet.
- Connect the harness to the ECU
- On-bike harness needs to be installed as per the User Guides
- Bench harness needs to be connected to ECU and powered using a 12V power supply
- Connect the communication interface (eg. Log Box or USB) to the ECU using the appropriate harness
- Connect the communication interface to the computer using the provided USB cable
- Turn on the 12V power to the ECU
- Switch on the ignition if using an on-bike harness
- Turn on 12V power supply if using a bench harness
- Start the Woolich Racing Tuned software and click on the 'New' button
- Select the Manufacturer (1), Model (2), Year (3) and ECU Part Number (4) for the ECU you wish to read as per the screenshot below. Click on 'New' (5) to open the bin file
Read the ECU as per normal by clicking on the 'Read ECU' button and following the prompts as shown below. If this does not work please attach a screen shot of any errors you receive in the software attempting to READ the ECU. Please position the error window so that the make/model/part number is visible on the main WRT window.
- Once read out, DO NOT SAVE THE FILE! If the file is saved then this transfer request will be invalid and this process must be repeated from Step 1 above.
You can always read the ECU again, and save the file after it has been sent.
- Click on the 'Tools' drop-down menu in the software and select, 'Send Bin File to Woolich Racing' as shown below.
