KLX 300 ECM connector
I tried it but it doesn't work. Healtech, maker of gear indiator says the wire connects to either "tacho signal" wire, crankshaft sensor (or pickup coil or ignition pulse generator) or ignition coil signal wire. ?

You will have to do some looking, but.... the orange wire from the ECM "may be" the tach signal. Best candidate is my guess.
This bike uses a CDI ignition, the ECU provides a high voltage pulse to the coil to fire the plug, that would not be suitable for an RPM pickup. All circuitry is internal to the ECU
You could try to locate the crank sensor pickup, but that may be a weak signal and I don't know if tapping it would have an adverse impact on the signal strength to the ECU. May be worth a try.
The diagnostic connector has three pins, 12v, ground, and a data bus, non are going to give a direct analog rpm signal.
Healtech looks like a good company, I have never tried any of their stuff.

Thanks for the information. I have a Healtech gear indicator on my BMW, and Healtech was able to give me the colorcode of the wire to use on the ECU plug. Works great. However, they didn't know about the KLX 300. First they gave me wrong part number for harness. Another customer gave them the correct harness number of theres and location (behind headlight), but didn't give them the wire, code or location for the finial connection. I have tried numerous wires but know luck. I guess I'll try the orange one and maybe I'll get lucky. There is a "youtube" video of a guy who did hook up the Healtech on his KLX 300, but he doesn't tell which wire. I have checked with some Kaw dealers and no luck there, they won't say. I'm not about to give up yet, but its a bit of a bear, lol. Thanks for your help!
Sorry to hear that. They used that diagnostic plug to get the tachometer readings for their computer when they dyno tested my bike.
Any pictures of this? Struggling through the healtech install as well.
Did this die on the vine?
It's hard to belive we are still locked out of this ECU with so many out there!
I have a 2024 and I am going to log AFR while stock . I have a 351 kit to install and see what I can do to manage fueling.
Mostly worried about cold start, open loop full throttle, I think the stock ecu with the O2 sensor will do okay in most situations.
Can EJK make a piggyback that trims fuel down from stock for full throttle?

Best Dual Sport bikes seems to have found a way to modify the ECU for fueling and ignition timing on EFI KLX's. I'm guessing he didn't figure it out himself and more than likely bought the pricey software/hardware combo from a larger aftermarket tuning supplier. These bikes run a pretty standard Keihin based EFI setup used by a ton of other bikes out there.
I've never used an EJK but it doesn't seem to offer the same fueling options that the inexpensive Indonesian fuel controller that user TSC sells via his PlanetKLX2 site. https://yt--planetklx2.netlify.app/d...uel-controller
