... as daktulos said; no ECU.
Suzuki call it an "ignitor" in the manual but an "ignition control unit" on the wiring diagram.

One other thing to check if the voltage on the orange/red wire is 0v dc at the ignitor with the ignition on.

1) Unplug the ignitor (the gizmo in the tail)
2) change the setting on your voltmeter/multimeter to Ohms (Ω)
3) switch on the ignition
4) measure the ohms (resistance) between the orange/red wire (on the ignitor plug) and battery negative it should be 100 ohms.

If it isn't the ignitor won't work and it means either there's a break in the wiring between the ignitor and ignition switch or between the ignition switch and ground/earth/batt neg or the ignition switch is bad.
