Hi all,
I have a 2008 M695 Monster. This is the last of the 600/620 family before the major changes to the next generation model (696), so it has the same basic layout as those earlier models along with a Magneti Marelli IAW 59M or a 5AM ECU.
I swapped the stock slip-ons for some Dan Moto GP units, mainly to balance out the looks and get a little more Ducati voice into the exhaust note. No other changes from stock to the engine. Now the engine is running a bit rough in the low RPM range (3K-5K). I expect it is running lean based on very clean, nearly white spark plug insulators and some after-firing pops on decel.
I know I could take it to a dyno, but I am a Do-it-Myself type and I'd really like to figure out how to correct this. I've thought about ECU tools and exhaust gas analyzers, involving modifying CO trim and revising maps (using GuzziDiag, JPDiag, Gunson Gastester, etc.), but want to make sure that's a reasonable approach. I've used Power Commanders in other bikes with and without Autotune ($$$), but DynoJet doesn't seem to support the Monster 695 specifically (though they seem to support other bikes with the 59M ECU using the PCIII). I'm happy getting a reflash, but that seems to be a shot in the dark without going to the Dyno. I've searched for some solutions or ideas, but none pop out as obvious short of dropping off at a dealer. Some things I've read:
Afterfiring: https://www.ducati.ms/forums/80-hall-wisdom/27908-backfiring.html
ECU and Maps: https://www.ducati.ms/forums/241-tech-forum/348730-ecu-maps-repository.html
CO Trim: https://www.ducati.ms/forums/40-sport-touring/687145-co-trim.html
Given one of the use cases of this bike (slow speed running around town), I'd really like it to run smoother in the 3.5K to 6K region where it's rough right now. I sure would appreciate some ideas and advice from folks who may have experience in this area.
