Title: another one history -- UltiMap / FuelInMoto (FIM ECU)
Post by: MotoCreations on February 10, 2009, 12:08:20 PM
From Australia -- another Ducati aftermarket vendor bites the dust.  UltiMap / Fuel In Moto (FIM ECU) is now history.  It was a great product but support / sales thereof was always questionable at best even in the best of times.  But the product was used by hundreds of Ducati enthusiasts in their custom and racing Ducati's.

(I only learned today when I wanted to order something.  Hadn't heard they were history as of yet on the bulletin boards)

That's not in the least bit surprising, both that they went under and that you didn't hear about it.   It always seemed like they did everything they could to make sure that (a) no one knew about their products; (b) no one could buy their products; and (c) no one knew how to use their products.  Too bad.  Seems like the Nemesis going to/has taken over the niche that FIM should have been able to exploit.

I almost had one of their chips in my bike.

Except the software locked up during the reflash and left my ECU completely dead. Kudos to desmoto for fixing me up.

Seems like there are alternatives out there...
