zard Question

[fleshx]

I have just installed the top gun slip-ons. I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with it running to lean or rich. Also will it help me to go get me throttle position sensor reset?

Also if any one has a slip on ecu for sale please let me know or if they have side panels carbon also.

I wold suggest getting your TPS reset at a minimum and have the fuel ratio checked to make sure its not running to rich or lean. The TPS reset won't fix that completely, generally need to have the Co sensor hooked up from a Dyno to see what it is doing and then it can be trimmed properly with the VDST tool or the Ducati computer techs use. In short YES have it adjusted after putting new exhaust on if you want optimum performance.

You can't trim the OEM ECU! The closed loop systems don't offer that feature. The slip-on and full system ECUs do allow the CO trim to be set after the removal of the O2 sensor.

The TPS needs to be reset for sure when installing the slip-ons (or full system). The couple I've seen dyno charts from have been somewhat conflicting... one was a bit lean throughout the band, but especially below 4K the other was almost spot on.

The short answer is that yes you should tune it if you are looking for the best performance, drivability, throttle response, etc... Now the question becomes how to tune it!

The Ducati Performance ECU is an okay fix, but it isn't tunable, only trimable. You can use the Power Commander in conjunction with the Ducati Performance ECU to create the custom map your bike deserves, but then you are into a LOT of money!

I suggest the Rapid Bike ECU with the O2 emulator. This will allow full tunability on the stock ECU so it is the most minimal expense and ironically offers the most adjustability - aside from custom applications like Motec.

Do you sell the Rapid Bike Anthony?

Not officially, but we have just begun a relationship with them and are going to be working with them a lot in the near future. I think it is the most cost effective solution for the newest bikes with Euro3 emissions.
