Title: Hypermotard needed for product testing! Post by: MotoCreations on November 18, 2009, 02:57:04 PM As some of you know, a few of the newer Ducati's (hypermotard, M1100, streetfighter, etc) have this big ugly actuator mechanism beneath the seat with cables actuating a "flapper valve" in the exhaust. It's a bit Rube Goldberg in functionality and a waste of underseat room! Also if you have an aftermarket exhaust, you have this gizmo along for the ride as removing it will toss CEL error messages. Thus Bernard / Vizi-Tec and myself created a device we call Duc.EE -- essentially a small little solidstate gizmo that replaces the above whole mechanism and keeps the ECU happy. It works great on the M1100 and Streetfighter with the Siemens ECU. We need a Hypermotard (with stock ECU) for a few hours / days for Bernard to test in his lab (bike won't be ridden) in the San Jose area. He can transport via truck/ramp as needed. Perk of helping -- contact me off-line (e-mail: MarkSavory@motocreations.com) or Bernard (e-mail: bernard@vizi-tec.com) Thanks!

He can transport via truck/ramp as needed. Or if you rather ride the HM to my place i'll give you a ride(via cage) back to your place and pick you up when i complete the tests. Save us the hassle of loading/unloading my truck.And not to worry about your bike. It will be in a safe and private spacious 2.5 car garage. The series of tests i'll be doing is nothing intrusive. I'll be monitoring a couple of signals with an oscilloscope during and after start up. Again... there will be perks for helping [beer] Thanks, Bernard Title: Re: Hypermotard needed for product testing! Post by: MotoCreations on November 25, 2009, 08:52:01 AM Thanks Jules!

Now just promise me you won't blow his bike up ;D Title: Re: Hypermotard needed for product testing! Post by: MotoCreations on December 15, 2009, 12:28:24 PM Bike was returned without problem.
New Duc.EE (Magnetti Marelli version) was just tested today on Jules HyperMotard in the Yahoo parking lot -- success. I'll do some more followup testing up here on another HM at my shop. We will push to production then after those tests and deliveries within a few weeks. First production item goes to Jules for all his help! Thanks everyone! |
