Would you buy a used ECU?

[Enzoman]

I'm looking at a used DP racing ECU for my 1100 but I was thinking it could be risky since it is used and it is an electronic device. Do these things typically fail or are they pretty much bullet proof?

Thanks

[Enzoman]

doh! never mind, the guy ended the auction 3 days early. I didn't think they could do that when there are bids on it. Ebay sucks ass...

[M1100]

There is a guy on here with a new stock one for sale--why not buy his and reflash it or tune it (at a shop)?

[Enzoman]

I would like to get the whole Termi kit. There was no reserve on this used kit so I was gonna put a bid in and see what happens but then the auction ended. Someone must have made an offer on it or something. I'll probably end up getting a new kit through my dealer. I just didn't want to have to pay $1500+ for it.

What's wrong with used parts?


All the parts on your bike are used

I wasn't aware that anyone was reflashing the m1100 ecu. If you know of anyone doing this can you post up a link?

We have the new Siemens ecu. I don't think they do ours.

It's worth an email to find out, give them a shout.  I read somewhere that they do, but I could be wrong

I'm not aware of anyone (yet) reflashing Siemens ECUs. 

[ryandalling]

Our local Ducati dealer is no re-flashing the ECUs... I think they said it can be done for $500... not certain if that helps any as I don't know the used eBay cost on these items.

[Enzoman]

Is anyone else here with an M1100 having hard starting issues? Mine has been at the shop for 2 weeks with no resolution... 

[Raux]

Rexxer for sure is able to due maps on the Siemens ECUs.
