Well now we know that the earlier symptoms after ecu-swap ("upgrade"), weren't sparkplug or plug wire related, but rather the beginnings of a fuel pump relay problem.

From Buzzle:
* One of the prime symptoms of a faulty bad fuel pump relay is the engine cranking up but not starting. This points towards a problem with the fuel delivery system and it may be that the fuel pump relay that is the culprit.

* Erratic functioning of the engine at the start and delay in starting up can be an indication of a faulty fuel pump relay. That is why, if you consistently notice a delay in engine starting, check the fuel pump relay.

* Once the relay stops functioning, the fuel pump will not switch on and the familiar sound of fuel pump working will not be heard. Ears trained to hear the normal sounds made by the car at start will notice the difference.

So what I experienced was a progression of the fuel-pump relay issue, and possible causes I can surmise are:
* Faulty wiring/loose connection (somewhere along the route)
* Corrosion along the wiring route or at the fuel pump connection
* Bad Ground

So, question is what is the best way for one of the mechanics to source the location and provide a fix?
This doesn't sound very complicated and I hate this "moto limbo" feeling, especially when I have cancelled my ride for next week.
I'd love to have this sorted over the weekend and hit the road. Any suggestions???
