I am having some difficulties with ECMSpy and was hoping that someone here has had similar experiences and could offer some advice.
I received the cable, installed ECMSpy and the appropriate drivers and can't seem to hold a communication link between my computer and the bikes' ECM.
On startup of program, I switch my COM port under "Communications" to the appropriate one that I have installed the drivers for. Under the "MAPS" tab, when I click "Fetch MAPS", I get an error that says
"Transmission Timed Out".

This is the same when I try to Fetch EEPROM as well.
There is an occasional communication when I click the ECM Query tab. This loads information into the Overview tab. Here's what I get:

(Notice the Air Temp and Engine Temps!! It hasn't been running in weeks)
Running the query sometimes gives my information in the ECM Runtime Tab. This is what I get:
I am occasionally able to get my trouble codes as well as shown here:

9 out of 10 times I try to communicate with the ECM I get an error that says "Failed to get Firmware Version...exiting now!"
I am able to run through the Diagnostic Checklist however.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
