Is VIN stored in the ecu/cluster? 2020 V4

The part itself is really easy, literally one bolt. However, I found that the one bolt doesn’t have clearance to be removed with the triple clamps installed. You might be able to do so at the right angle with an Allen that has a ball tip, but it wasn’t that easy for me. So… off comes the top clamp, a special tool is needed for the steering stem nut, or devise your own diy tool. Then the wheel, front forks & bottom clamp. The spider bracket can be used with the horn if needed, or at least I found the clearance to do so. The kicker is that you need a way to support the bike without a front stand as you are removing the forks & the triple clamps. So an engine stand, or tie downs connected to the trans slung from the garage rafters are needed. So all in all it’s a few hour job, but not horrible IMO. The new steering stop does reduce the amount of steering, increasing the steering radius. That is felt in the paddock & in parking lots but you can plan around it once you get used to it.
 
Yeah, it wasn’t a good day ha. The steering stops on the triple clamps were already broken from a previous crash. Installed the spider steering stop & that worked well, no new damage there.

Are you still able to lock the bike after steering stop fitment?
 
Not only is the VIN stored in the ECU, its in the dash, BBS, etc. There's also the issue of mileage stored on the various controllers. There's a way to re-write the mileage, but its only capable of writing the highest mileage, on whatever controllers its stored on, to all of the others. You also potentially run the risk of incompatibility between various software versions. If the BBS is at version X and the ECU is at version Y, version X may expect version Y to be in place and if it isn't, it will throw an error. I ran into this when flashing a map onto my bike, but was able to get it sorted with a new software version for the BBS.
I think I'm having the same issue, sent the ECU to be flashed and it's now throwing a warning light and constantly flashing DTC DWC and DSC on the dash. what are the symptoms of that?
