 I have made a purchase but I can't login |
After you have created a Woolich Racing account and made a purchase on our website, your account will be automatically verified assuming that the same email address is used for both the account as well as the purchases.
This is done when your Order is process and packed, your account will be checked and verified.
This means you will get access to the software, and you can watch the video guides before your Package arrives. This is also the perfect time to complete the Woolich Foundations Training Course (free) which will guide you in the basics of how to lookup ECU part numbers, check harnesses, how to find answers to common questions and general guidelines for using the Woolich Racing equipment and software.
If you have ordered over the weekend, then your order will be processed and shipped on Monday.
If your account has failed automatic verification, it is usually because some details on your Woolich Racing account, or PayPal address, or your geolocation details, do not match up, and your account will require manual verification. If this has happened, or if your account has not been verified by the time you have received your package, then please Open a Support Ticket.

| Do You Support ECU Flashing for Harley Davidson? |
Woolich Racing does support flashing of ECUs for several Harley Davidson ranges including Dyna, Softail, Sportster, Street, Touring, V-Rod and Pan America amongst others.The technical skill level required to flash these ECUs is a little higher than for many of the other manufacturers so access to these products is currently limited to professional tuners. If you are a professional tuner and would like to know more or if you would like us to connect you with a Woolich Racing-Harley Davidson tuner in your area, please open a support ticket and let us know how we can help.

| Why Can't I Download the Free WRT Software? |
Woolich Racing provides the Woolich Racing Tuned software completely free of charge for all verified Woolich Racing customers to use. This means that anyone who has purchased all of the components required to start using the Woolich Racing Tuned software to write to their ECU will be provided access and will be able to download the free software.
A 'verified' customer is someone who has fulfilled the following requirements: - Has a current active Woolich Racing Account
- Has purchased one of our Tuning Packages required to start using the software (i.e. a tuning package including harness and communication interface)
The normal process is that a customer would make a purchase from our website, and after paying with PayPal, create a new Woolich Racing account under the same PayPal verified email address and mailing address. This then automatically assigns those products to, and verifies your WR account (i.e. account belongs to a real person with a real email and physical address).
This is an automatic process but it only works if the same email address is used for the account as well as the purchase. If a different PayPal email address is used, the automatic verification will fail and your account will need to be manually verified. If the email addresses for your Woolich Racing account and PayPal account are different please open a Support Ticket and let us know which accounts you are using and what equipment you have purchased - this will help us manually verify you account.
After your account is verified you will be able to login - Woolich Racing Customer Login - and download the free Woolich Racing Tuned software. Any future purchases that you make using your PayPal email will also be automatically credited to your Woolich Racing account.
Once your account is verified you will have access to:
- Woolich Racing Account (used to log into the website and the Woolich Racing Tuned software)
- Download and install the free Woolich Racing Tuned software on up to 3x Windows PC's
- User Guides and Installation Manuals which are relevant to your purchases
- Customer submitted MapShare Files.
- 24hr / 5days a week support through our Online Ticketing Support System handled by our Australian, UK, EU, and USA support staff, around the clock.
Unfortunately, we do not give access to the free software without a customer having the means to flash an ECU. (i.e. a Woolich Racing interface, Harness and a Bin File Definition/Key.)

| Buying Second-Hand Woolich Racing Hardware |
Woolich Racing hardware including harnesses, Race Tools and communication devices are installed and used on motorcycles all over the world so it is not uncommon that ownership sometimes changes. In order for you (the buyer) to be able to access all of the hardware capabilities it is important to transfer the ownership of these items to your account.
These hardware components are registered to a specific Woolich Racing user account and licensed for use by the owner by associating them with keys (eg. bin file definition keys, Race Tools keys) which are usually written to the motorcycle ECU. This means that the hardware components do not necessarily just work by themselves but instead require valid keys as well as the Woolich Racing Tuned software in order to make modifications to the way that these work.
This article provides an explanation of the actions needed by the buyer of second-hand Woolich Racing products in order to be able to use them as soon as possible.
Whenever Woolich Racing hardware is bought/sold there are some specific tasks that must be completed in order to transfer ownership of the physical product(s) as well as the rights to use (ie. licenses) them from the seller to the buyer. There are a few steps that both the seller and buyer need to go through to successfully transfer ownership.
Note: We only transfer Woolich Racing devices when sold (ie. changing ownership), we do not transfer devices just so you can temporarily loan them to a friend.
Changing the ownership of Woolich Racing hardware involves several different steps depending on whether you are the buyer or the seller: - Let us know about sale
- This can be done by either the buyer or seller.
- Inform Woolich Racing that hardware is being sold so ownership must be changed.
- Please include contact details for buyer/seller as well as a list of what is being sold.
- This can be done by emailing us at support@woolichracing.com or opening a new Support Ticket.
- Seller confirms sale and authorizes transfer of hardware from seller account to buyer account
- We will communicate with the seller as needed to confirm that they authorize the hardware transfer(s) as part of the sale.
Please note: If you cannot identify the seller for us then we will NOT be able to transfer the hardware into your name.
- More information about selling your Woolich Racing hardware can be found here.
- Buyer creates a new Woolich Racing account if they don't have one already
- Once we have permission to transfer the device(s), the buyer will need to create a new WR account using their email address - Create a New Woolich Racing Account
- Once your account has been created we will verify it and you will be able to download and install the Woolich Racing Tuned software.
- Buyer completes the free Woolich Foundations Training Course.
- This course will teach you the basics of the Woolich Racing 'ecosystem' and where to find help when you need it
- Buyer requests transfers of all Woolich Racing products included in sale to their account
- Communication interface (eg. Log Box or USB)
- Request device transfer via Support Ticket and Woolich Racing Tuned software.
- Instructions for transferring ownership of the communication interface can be found here.
- Bin file key
- If an ECU is included in the sale and it has a Woolich Racing bin file key associated with it, this may be eligible for a transfer from seller to buyer.
- Note that this transfer can only be done once so we need to check that there are not other prior owners
- Instructions for requesting a transfer of the bin file key to your own account can be found here.
- Race Tools hardware
- Race Tools hardware like Quickshifters etc are registered to a specific Woolich Racing account
- Please send us a photo of any Race Tools hardware that you have purchased, including the serial number
- We will make note on your account of the new Race Tools hardware so that you have access to warranty, support, etc.
- Race Tools key
- Race Tools keys are associated with a specific ECU and user account, and enable the owner to modify Race Tools options like Quickshifters etc.
- Transfer of a Race Tools key can be requested by emailing us at support@woolichracing.com or opening a new Support Ticket or responding to an existing one.
- If the Race Tools key is elegible for a transfer, it be added to your account so that you can use it in your Woolich Racing Tuned software.
- Instructions for transferring ownership of the Race Tools key can be found here.

| How to request a Bin File Key Transfer using the ECU VIN |
Bin File Definition Keys are a kind of license that allows a Woolich Racing account to communicate (read/write, etc) with a specific ECU. These keys are locked to the account that originally purchased them and then flashed the ECU.
A one-time Key Transfer is available to transfer the key to a new tuner. This is allowed so a private owner can either tune themselves or can take the bike to a professional tuner who also has a Woolich Racing account. This one-time transfer can also be used when selling an ECU (ie. as part of a complete bike) which has already has a bin file key allocated to it.
This article refers specifically to ECUs which have the VIN recorded and do not have any supported 'Read ECU' capability in the WRT software. These models have the bin file key associated with the bike's VIN when they are first written to, to request a bin file key transfer on these models you will need to read the VIN using the WRT software, Open a Support Ticket and and attach a screenshot showing the VIN as described below.
When you view the ECU part number in the Model Selector window of the WRT software you can find some information under 'Bin File Details' as shown below. In the example below we have selected a bin file for a 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1, the key type is shown as 'VIN bin file key'. This ECU cannot be read out but stilll has a bin file key recorded and associated with the bike's VIN.
If your ECU part number shows a 'Read ECU' button in the WRT software please do not use the method described below, instead please see the instructions here: How to request a Bin File Key Transfer.
- 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 the VIN from as per the screenshot below. Click on 'New' (5) to open the bin file
You will already need to have access to this bin file definition in order to open the file. If not you will need to purchase a Key for this definition, or allocate a bulk Key to unlock it in the software. The key can be returned once the transfer is completed.
(NOTE: Returning the first Key only applies to Keyed Definitions. Keys used to unlock an Unlimited Definition, can not be returned, as your account is gaining the ability to flash unlimited ECU's)
- In the WRT software select Tools > Read VIN as shown below for a 2024 Yamaha MT-09:
- The VIN will be read out from the ECU and displayed on screen as shown below.
- Please take a screenshot of the VIN readout as shown above and paste it into a new Support Ticket requesting a Bin File Key Transfer.
Hint: You can take a screenshot in Windows 10 or 11 by pressing 'Shift + Windows + S'.
Note: Do not attempt to write to the ECU until after you have received confirmation that the Transfer has been approved, or you will write over the top of the current flash, using one of your own Keys.
Please reply back to your support ticket once you have requested the transfer, and we will let you know if it is eligible to be transferred.

| How do I purchase Bin File Definitions for use within the WRT software? |
Every ECU has information that is used to control the vehicle, this information is saved in a binary or 'bin' file. In order to read or write to an ECU we need to know how the information is stored and this information is contained in a Bin File Definition. Bin File Definitions are made available by Woolich Racing for all supported models.
The video below and the information provided in this page provides an overview of the Bin File Definition purchase and download process.
There are a few different ways that you can purchase Bin File Definitions for use within the WRT software: - Purchase as part of a package with an USB Interface/Log Box, Harness and USB Cable from within the Products Page.
- Purchase Bin File Definitions as a single item from within the Products Page.
- Purchase a set of Bulk Keys a discounted rate, which you can allocate to a bin file definition later.
To access the Bin File Definitions through the first two methods, please click on the make and model of the bike you’re interested in. The package (1) should be at the top of the list of products, while the Bin File Definition (2) as a single item is listed further down the page. To purchase simply click the ‘Buy Now’ button and continue through the check-out process.
For the third method, please refer to our article on how to Purchase Bulk Bin File Definition Keys. If you purchase the Definition/Key using the same email as your account, your products will automatically apply to your account and will be available straight away. If you have purchased under a different email, you will need to contact us to have it allocated to the correct account manually.
We are regularly adding support for new bike models in the Woolich Racing Tuned software. To be notified when these products are listed, please subscribe to our email updates to be notified when this occurs.

| Why do I need to buy a Bin File Definition? I already own the Bin File in my ECU. |
The 'Bin File' and the 'Bin File Definition' are two very different types of files and the terms are sometimes misused which can lead to some confusion about what they are and how they are used.
A Bin File (or binary file) is written to every ECU and contains all of the information needed to control the specific vehicle that the ECU was manufactured for. The bin file contains maps for eg. fueling, ignition timing etc and the location of these maps and other information is usually different for ECUs from different manufacturer/model/years but can also be different for ECUs from the same model of bike. The Bin File Definition is a file which details where all of the specific information for the ECU is stored. The Bin File Definition then contains all the information about the location of specific maps, limiters, etc and makes it possible to write to a specific ECU correctly. It is not possible to write to an ECU without having the corresponding Bin File Definition available also. When you make a purchase for your specific model of motorcycle you are not actually purchasing the Bin File, you are purchasing the Bin File Definition. The Bin File Definition is used within the Woolich Racing Tuned software, and it provides access for maps and settings allowing you to easily edit the Bin File within the Woolich Racing Tuned software. Without the Bin File Definition, you are not able to edit the bin file or make any changes to the ECU in your bike.

| If I purchase a Bin File Definition from you, can I on-sell it once I’m done with it? |
Bin File Definitions are not transferable and ownership will remain registered to your account. The Bin File Definitions are essentially attached to the hardware (ECU, Race Tools, etc) and cannot be separated.
The details of this restriction are set out in the Woolich Racing Tuned Software License Agreement. We do however allow a one-off key transfer to another tuning account, for instructions on this please follow the link to the Key transfer process. If you have sold your bike and Woolich hardware to someone else, or purchased a second-hand Woolich hardware yourself, please advise us by Opening a new Support Ticket. In this case it may be possible to transfer ownership of the hardware and associated licence(s) (Bin File Definition Key, Race Tools key) to the new owner.

| What Bin File Definitions are free with the WRT software? |
Bin File Definition Keys, or more commonly just called ‘keys’ are the licenses that are purchased and used to flash an ECU. A license used on an ECU grants unlimited flashing to that specific individual ECU. Unlike some other flashing companies, we have a large amount of ECUs that are either free and allow for unlimited flashing or they are able to be purchased once and then are free and unlimited after that.
100% Free to flash forever (included with purchase): - 2002-2020 Suzuki GSX-1300R (Hayabusa)
- 2007-2011 Suzuki GSXR 1000
- 2008-2020 Suzuki GSXR 750
- 2008-2020 Suzuki GSXR 600
- 2007-2012 Suzuki GSX-1300BK (B-King)
One-time purchase, then unlimited flashing: - 2005-2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000
- 2006-2007 Suzuki GSXR 750
- 2004-2005 Suzuki GSXR 750
- 2006-2007 Suzuki GSXR 600
- 2004-2005 Suzuki GSXR 600
- 2005-2008 Suzuki SV 1000
- 2012-2014 Yamaha R1
- 2009-2011 Yamaha R1
- 2007-2008 Yamaha R1
- 2012-2016 Yamaha R6
- 2008-2011 Yamaha R6
- 2006-2007 Yamaha R6
Anything not shown in the above list requires one key for each individual ECU flashed. These keys are what let you flash an individual ECU as many times as you want. Typically, how shops approach this is they charge a flat fee for ECU tuning to cover their cost of the key as well as what they feel their work is worth. This would be in addition to the cost of the harness and dyno tuning time if tuning on the dyno is part of your service. This way, the customer’s ECU is tied to the tuner's account so if they ever need any changes in the future, they can bring their bike/ECU back to you and you’re familiar with everything, and you already have their map files saved. Bulk keys: Tuning shops can purchase Bulk Keys at a discounted rate. These keys are in a generic non-assigned state so they don’t have to worry about what to use them on at the time of purchase. They can then be assigned them to a specific model once the need arises. Additionally, these discounted files can be used on the models above that are a one-time purchase (unlimited models) further adding to the value of those models. (These discounted bulk keys cannot be allocated to race kit ECUs like EM Pro, KRT, HRC or YEC). These Support Center articles may also be of interest to you:

| Returning unused Bin File Keys - Key Return Policy |
Woolich Racing, Key Return Policy, updated September 2022.
If you allocate a Key to unlock a definition on your account, so you can access an ECU, or want to look at the mapping for another model, we don't offer any un-allocation of that key. It can only be used to flash an ECU once allocated. Once a key is allocated, it is non-reversible, with only a few exceptions.
While we have previously allowed the un-allocation of keys for more broad reasons, unless there is a specific and justifiable reason for doing so, we will not be releasing these keys in future. Examples of where we would make an exception:
- If you accidentally double allocated - which is something only inexperienced users of the software would generally do; - If you have allocated a key and have been unable to proceed because of a fault of the software. *1 - If we have requested you to allocate a key so you can read the ECU; and - If you needed to allocate a key to enable a key transfer.
*1 A software fault does not include the following: - If we do not have your part number, as you can check what part numbers are available before you allocate any keys. *2 - There is a physical connection issue with your harness, or installation of the harness. - You have not attempted to troubleshoot the cause of the problem.
*2 Some models require the ECU to be read out to identify the Part Number, this would be considered an exception only for the first key allocated, to unlock that model so the ECU can be read.
NOTE: Keys used to unlock an Unlimited Definition, can not be returned, as your account is gaining the ability to flash unlimited ECU's.
The software was never designed to have keys un-allocated and while we have tried to accommodate our customers in the past, due to the enormity of the requests we receive, we can see it has become a normal practice when it should be an exception. This also allows us to have greater focus on genuine support issues.
Basically, we are asking Tuners to be a bit more responsible when allocating Keys. Check the bike details, and confirm the part number of the ECU, look it up in the software, and confirm what definition it belongs to, before allocating any keys.

| How to request a Bin File Key Transfer |
Bin File Definition Keys are a kind of license that allows a Woolich Racing account to communicate (read/write, etc) with a specific ECU. These keys are locked to the account that originally purchased them and then flashed the ECU.
A one-time Key Transfer is available to transfer the key to a new tuner. This is allowed so a private owner can either tune themselves or can take the bike to a professional tuner who also has a Woolich Racing account. This one-time transfer can also be used when selling an ECU (ie. as part of a complete bike) which has already has a bin file key allocated to it.
There are different methods for requesting a Bin File Key Transfer depending on the specific ECU being used. Some ECUs allow the bin file to be read out in the WRT software and the Key Transfer request can be submitted from within the WRT software. Some newer ECUs do not allow the bin file to be read out at all but do have the ability to read the VIN which is stored inside the ECU. These models have the bin file key associated with the bike's VIN when they are first written to, to request a bin file key transfer on these models you will need to read the VIN in the WRT software, Open a Support Ticket and and attach a screenshot showing the VIN as described below.
Here are the instructions for requesting a Key Transfer for an ECU which allows the bin file to be read out. If your ECU part number does not have the 'Read ECU' button shown in the WRT software please see the instructions for Requesting a VIN-Bin File Key transfer below: - 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
You will already need to have access to this bin file definition in order to open the file. If not you will need to purchase a Key for this definition, or allocate a bulk Key to unlock it in the software. The key can be returned once the transfer is completed.
(NOTE: Returning the first Key only applies to Keyed Definitions. Keys used to unlock an Unlimited Definition, can not be returned, as your account is gaining the ability to flash unlimited ECU's)
Read the ECU as per normal by clicking on the 'Read ECU' button and following the prompts as shown below.
Once read out, DO NOT SAVE THE FILE! If the file is saved then this transfer request will be invalid and must be repeated from Step 1 above.
You can always read the ECU again, and save the file after the transfer request is complete.
If you see a message that the ECU has been TuneLocked, you can still transfer the Key by clicking Cancel, and then click OK on the Request Key Transfer, then skip to the end of these steps. You just will not be able to read out the current tune, and will have to use the transferred Key with a New Bin File to start tuning again.
Click on the " Tools" drop-down menu in the software and select, " Request Key Transfer".
The software will do some checks, and if successful, you will receive a popup window letting you know it has been successfully submitted.
You will be prompted to submit a support ticket, but if you have already done this, you must reply to your email / ticket to advise that steps 1 - 11 have been completed and you have submitted the file to us. - When we receive the support ticket reply, we will review the Key Transfer Request and will advise when this review / transfer is complete.
Requesting a VIN-Bin File Key transfer for ECUs that do not show the 'Read ECU' button: - Complete steps 1-7 as described above
- In the WRT software select Tools > Read VIN as shown below for a 2024 Yamaha MT-09:
The VIN will be read out from the ECU and displayed on screen as shown below. Please take a screenshot of the VIN readout as shown above and paste it into a new Support Ticket requesting a Bin File Key Transfer.
Note: Do not attempt to write to the ECU until after you have received confirmation that the Transfer has been approved, or you will write over the top of the current flash, using one of your own Keys.
Please reply back to your support ticket once you have requested the transfer, and we will let you know if it is eligible to be transferred.
