Title: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?! Post by: CookieMonster on September 17, 2015, 09:06:07 AM I must say that I am a bit disappointed and shocked. I just got off the phone with the so called best dealership & service in the northeast and they won't touch my bike.
I just recently purchased a DP Race ECU and in order for my bike to run properly I have to get my trim adjusted. I was thinking of doing it myself but the software I got is all in Italian and cannot understand some of the fields. So I called a few local places and they aren't equipped for Italian bikes. So I said "oh screw it...I'll just take the 1.5 hr ride into Manhattan and let them do it" but I called to price it out and they won't do it. I guess I now need to master this software and do it myself. Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?!

Where do you live? There are many shops around that will work on ducatis that are far far better than Ducati NY. Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?!

Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?! Post by: CookieMonster on September 20, 2015, 01:01:55 PM Well I'm happy to say that I finally got the software to work in English! I also purchased the two cables needed so I'll be adjusting my own trim, TPS and everything else the program can do for just under $15.

Post by: CookieMonster on September 21, 2015, 12:59:33 AM LOL I mean really...isn't that what they're supposed to do??? I just may consider making that call.
Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?! Post by: Triple J on September 21, 2015, 08:59:34 AM Is it an EPA issue?
The race ecu is not technically street legal, so maybe that's the reason. In California a lot of (maybe most) dealerships won't install a race ecu and exhaust anymore because the CARB (CA air board) cracked down on a bunch of dealerships and fined them. If there is any indication the bike is operated on the street then they won't touch them...race bike, then sure. Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?!

Title: Re: DUCATI Triumph NYC won't do it...really?! Post by: CookieMonster on September 21, 2015, 02:09:13 PM it's all good, I just thought it was crazy disappointing how they refused but whatever. I will be doing it myself, I just received the blue cable and just waiting on the Fiat cable to adjust my trim and rest my TPS. If anything I think I should be thankful since this encouraged me to be more involved and learn more.
