Running on two cylinders...

If this is an aftermarket coil issue shouldn't the manufacturer of the coils replace the ECU? I'd get in touch with the Ebay seller and discuss options.

I called them and they will refund the coils. I explained how the lower primary coil resistance would draw more current from the ECU and he agreed. But their "policy" is to only replace their items, and nothing else that might have failed because of their items installation.

The ECU comes in tomorrow and I expect to be running again. In the end it was not too bad dollar wise. The coils were $170 which I get back, and the used ECU was around $180. Just a pain to deal with overall.

A buddy of mine loaned me his Ninja 650R for the week so my brother and I have been able to do all our riding together anyway!
 
Used ECU FZ1inNH found for me on Ebay finally came in today. Plugged it in and it started right up. Went for a 200 mile ride and all is good.

Lesson learned...don't use aftermarket coils made in China. Or at least ohm them out first to see if they are close to OEM specs...

Thanks for all the help guys!
