I had a look at the ECU on my newly acquired 2003 1000SS last night as I’m considering some mods and want to investigate the possibility of time on a Dyno or looking for a used DP Flashed one. I was surprised to find some quite unprofessional looking labels stuck over the top of the original ones, so peeled them off to see what was underneath. On Google I found a couple of other Ducati ECUs with the additional Labels, but nothing that really told me much. Has anyone seen this style of over-labels before? The bike came to me standard except some really awful Carbon cans, which I took off and replaced with the original cans, and the bike runs a bit better, so I don’t think the ECU has a modified map already. The other option is that the ECU has been replaced with one from a different bike and has been reprogrammed to suit. Any thoughts? The additional labels read: 1000SS DUCATI026 & S1000PR3 The originals read: IAW 59.A8 IAW 59M.A8/HW010/S21-D027 12V= 031 03 3DHI2KX1D & 61601.047.00 999 DUCATI016 Original Labels Thanks Nasher
Perfectly normal labelling on the early bikes using the IAW59M ECU. They switched to white paper labels when the IAW5AM was introduced. DP ECUs came with a large red and white label stuck onto them until the IAW5AM was introduced.
