VDST questions - Ducati.ms

GMP · Jul 9th, 2008, 12:37 pm

I'm about to buy the Technoresearch VDST (standard). I know it is supposed to be able to reset the service indicator but there have been comments about this function not working properly in the past. Can anyone verify that this works on the latest version?

Also, can you read lambda sensor output in real time like TPS and RPM?

Yes, it resets the service indicator. It might require more than one attempt however. As far as reading the lambda, I don't think so but I could be wrong about this. I'm running an open loop ECU so its not an issue for me.

Thanks. I just ordered it, they assured me that the service indicator function works fine.

The lambda output voltage vs. TPS and RPM data would be valuable info for designing a lambda emulator. I'm waiting for a solution but if this falls through I may design my own emulator and use a an open loop Powercard.

Is this usable on more than one motorcycle? I have a Hyper 1100 and am adding a Multi 1100 in the next few weeks. My assumption is that this would work on both bike - correct?

Why not just buy an O2 emulator? For under $200 I can't imagine how it makes sense to make your own (time wise), unless you just want to!

I design and code software for gas separation and analysis instruments, so this should be no big deal and I just look at it as a learning experience. I still prefer to buy a complete solution. I'm guessing you are talking about the RapidBike emulator correct? As all you would be asking of it is to eliminate auto trim of the ECU, it should work with any piggy back controller like a Powercard.

dudecati,

Yes, it will work with any number of bikes or ECUs as long as the ECU is the same type. Hyper and Multi are both IAW 5AM.

Either the rapid bike emulator (more functionality than you need) or the GPR O2 eliminator which neutralizes the signal allowing removal of the sensor.

Are you selling the Rapdibike stuff yet?

GPR? I wasn't aware anything but the Rapidbike existed for the Hyper. Simple plug and play? How much? Thanks.

Not officially although I've almost concluded my testing and am very happy with the software and hardware. I tuned a bone stock 749R and made a huge improvement! I'll have to post the graphs. Everything but the top end is done - if I get a chance I'll finish it up today.

I'll be announcing the RapidBike line soon and adding them to my site and inventory.

I've not used the GPR, but yes - it is supposed to be simple plug and play. I think they will be around $120. I've got one ordered to test out. I'm looking for the cheapest solution to kill the O2 sensor so the Rapidbike can be used (or any other device).
