I still think the 1200enduro race system will work on the 1200dvt. I will upload images of mine when it comes & speculate some more..
got the full termi on mine. Took it to Geoff at Hilltop for a remap of the ecu, take out all the emission dips, and he said it was running so lean it would have knackered the engine in a few years! Now got a silky smooth throttle, slight increase with hp but significant increase with torque. Fantastic! bangs and pops - love em!
yes! The dealers just plug and play. Geoff uses this bit of kit: T62-LCC Load Controlled (Compact) Dyno from Dyna Pro Dynamometers
not cheap! 350 for the first bike then if you go back with a second, or keep going back with other bikes in future I think he does a deal for 250
Obviously there is also the matter of whether a dealer might consider the warranty null and void if somebody else has messed around with the ECU mapping, but what Geoff does is not visible or traceable to any dealer on any bike (at least that's what he tells me!!)
went to have my new RT done yesterday - same story - increase of 17 Ft/lb torque and 10 bhp, much better fuelling, smoothness of throttle all massively improved!! Spoke with Geoff a bit more about the kit he has and the process of what he does and how it works. I did see that there are lots of other dealerships out there with a similar bit of dyno kit. The critical bit of what he does is applying the rewriten map software for the individual bike, apparently something he has been working on for years. So it's not the kit itself which is unique necessarily, but the mapping software which he has written. What's also unique is the way that he stores this within the bikes memory so firstly it is not seen by a dealer and secondly it's never overwritten
Hmmm...excuse the scepticism here. The Ducati ECU is locked down by Ducati, so only their computers can unlock to change anything e.g. mapping, accessories etc etc. specifically to prevent this sort of thing being done. Hence having to visit the dealer to get them to install the Termi upmap rather than just plugging in a key as previously (which would make it easy to intercept the signals to/from the key and reverse-engineer the comms protocol). So this other kit would need to change the mapping "on top" of the map already in the ECU i.e. by adjusting the signals coming from the ECU to the injectors, TPS etc. and going back the other way. This would suggest an additional box which plugs into the ECU, and the ECU loom connector then goes into that additional box. The alternative would be that this chap has somehow cracked Ducati's encryption to replace the existing map with a new one, while keeping the map revision number and not incrementing the flash counter. I'm genuinely interested how he's done this. The Rexxer guys seem to have gone down the reverse-engineering route to decrypt the comms and allow them to install their maps, but they replace the existing map, and don't go "on top". EDIT: maybe he's just using a Rexxer unit?
Interested to see if this can be done on the DVT. I have tuneboy on my '14 GT with auto blip and quick shift. Rode the DVT today and this addition would seal the deal for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hi Gary, The bike looks great. Where did you source the 42T sprocket and carrier (I'm assuming the carrier isn't standard)?
