My 998 didn't start after sitting for a while.
dealer said ECU is bad. because of that, it doesn't spit out the fuel.
I won't pay $1700 for new ecu.
I keep checking on ebay but no luck yet.
any place I can call to see if they have used ones?
I've used this guy with good luck.

Get a second opinion. There is no reason short of your bike being struck by lightning or caught in a flood for an ECU to fail while a bike is not in use.
I tried to jump start from car battery.
hm, stupid mistake lol
Jumping from a car battery will not hurt anything unless the car is running. Even then, probably not. Like I said, get a second opinion.

Very bad.
That is how my 996 ended up with a new ecu...
the polarity reversing was not by my hand however.
I wish I could get a second opinion. they picked up with their van. I don't think I can ask them to take it to the other shop.
I am sure those japanese bike shops will get scared as soon as they hear the word 'it's ducati'
I wanted them change sprocket. they said they don't work on ducati (can't i believe) I convinced them by saying it's freakin sprocket, what do you have to do other than turning some bolts?
