Title: M796 - no keys Post by: ungeheuer on September 25, 2020, 12:47:51 AM G'Day Ducatters,
So if a bloke was thinking about buying a vandalised M796 (same thing applies for M1100) as a winter project..... how would he go about dealing with a machine which came with no key, no red key and no ID 'credit' card? New clocks, locks and ECU? I probably knew the answer to these questions once..... but..... :-\ Anyway, your help be much appreciated...

The 796 is the Siemens electrickery I believe and I think they can be rekeyed by sending the proper bits off to the guys who do that. Model year might end up being relevant from budgetary standpoint. But I have not done the 'whole enchilada' with a new bike. A customer managed to break the tip off his key and that was troublesome. It may be cheapest to get a whole lock n key set second hand and then send the lot off to school to be taught to play together. The side-cut keys are more difficult to get done as it seems to require a locksmith but they've all moved to Ibiza and the keycutters down at HardwareHouse have no make the beast with two backsin idea what to do.

Places like SOS Diagnostics (http://sosdiagnostics.com/ducati.html) can pull the code and/or program new keys and provide a new card. You just have to send the cluster and ignition lock. IIRC it was between $300-$400. Title: Re: M796 - no keys Post by: Howie on September 25, 2020, 09:21:12 AM I would get the computer flashed, getting rid of the immobilizer.

You may find a similar boffin shop located on the particular island you're on now. No slag on SOS, they've done stellar work for me but transcontinental shipment of flight-critical parts makes me nervous.

I think you're all right about the no red key. And you're definitely correct about the Siemens business. I'll let you know how I go [popcorn] Title: Re: M796 - no keys Post by: Howie on September 25, 2020, 02:52:39 PM No red key is correct.
