Sure, will let you know how it goes, and soon as I get past the 600 miles.

ok, got it working finally... i switched laptops and it turns out that you dont need to start the engine, you just need to turn the key to the start position... once i started the engine it went a bit funny on me but ignition off was fine.  nest time i go and try it i'm going to test both laptops again and see if it was something i was doing wrong with the process and not actually the hardware having issues.

just sent in my license request and i'll get the flash upgrade once that's done.  gonna try the termi slip on flash first and see what happens.

Very interesting indeed.
Power to the people.

ITS ALIVE!!

Got it all working tonight, paid for the write function and now I'm running a termi slip on map on my new akrapovic slip ons

I'll be testing out the map to see if it works well (people say it runs pretty rich) as there is one other custom map on the ftp that is supposed to be pretty amazing.  Also, on a side note, ducatidiag can remove the lambda function and also remove the immobilizer.  Not sure if it's working for all models, but it does work for mine... I left the immobilizer on but took off the lambda sensor functions.

Once I switched to the other laptop everything went pretty smooth.  For some odd reason it still gives me issues when I try to connect while the engine is on, but it works perfectly when I connect with the engine off.  It just might be an issue with the really slow old laptop I'm using (10ish years old) hanging when the engine is on and me thinking something is wrong and not waiting long enough for it to connect.  I dont really have any other PC laptop more current to test out this theory with, but I'm ok with that current results.

I connected everything up, flashed the ecu (you have to check off "force hardware compatibility" to make it work), and reset the tps.  All pretty simple and I still have my stock map saved in case I ever need to revert it back to original.

The only slight freak out moment I had was when I finished flashing the ecu and all of a sudden saw the odometer at 8800 vs the 5500 reading I used to have... realized it was because it flipped it to the EU settings on reset so it was reading in KM vs Miles.

All said and done... it's cheaper than going to the dealer to reflash your ecu and you can rest your tps by yourself along with unlimited flashes.  I know the 1st ecu is 100 euros and any other ecu's are discounted but I'm not sure of the discount amount..  You can also mess with some other functions like CO trim etc, but that's a bit beyond my threshold of "stuff I'm willing to toy with on my bike".  If anyone is looking to reflash their MM ecu, I'd def reccomend it.

Very interesting.  Great thread thought 

Pity it not an option for us Siemens guys, but very interesting nonetheless  .

Glad you got it going thought!
It's been a good 6 months since my flash, aint nothin but riding to talk about!

People should be aware of a couple things...
1) this is for the MM 5AM and 5.9AM ecu's. Sorry Evo's
2) the cables (there are two) only cost in total $25-ish
3) dont buy the cables from china if you live in the US, jeeze. Look on Amazon FFS!
You need the ODB cable and a Fiat three pin (fiat 3 pin connects to the ODB and your bikes diagnostic port)
4) dont fall for someone selling this on line. The DucatiDiag is FREE. Unless you like being scammed, then go ahead and pay someone for something that is FREE!
5) If you do pay someone for this, you still have to register the DucatiDiag with JP in order to get the "key file" so that you can perform TPS resets and shit.
6) if you live in china, go right ahead and buy the cables from china, that makes total sense!

Hi all,
I'm a new member here and besides having a friend and ride buddy here who's been encouraging me to join up I also thought there may be some expertise among the monsterelite re ducatidiag. I see there's plenty of chat which is encouraging.

I've put together a Getting Started Guide at ducatidiag to help out future users even though I'm still not quite up an operational. I've been mucking around with it for the last few days and whilst having the fairings off I did the dzus conversion. The weather was great here today, for a change, I decided to go for a fang so I put the fairings back on and I'm leaning towards giving up on this exercise.

I've just been sent another key which hopefully will see the software up and operational but before I go ahead and try again I'm looking for some advice if anyone can help me out here.

The reason I wanted to utilise DD was to reset the TPS. My bike has been idling around 1500RPM since installing a set of Termi slipons and the DP ECU. Twice now the mechanic has done the TB's and the vacuum thing and air bleeds. Apparently he managed to reduce the idle a bit but has had to set one cylinder richer than the other.

Currently DD shows the TPS set to 2.1 deg. My question to anyone who understands these things is if I were to reset the TPS will it actually reduce the idle RPM or is that only achieved with the air bleeds?. As I understand it there is an idle screw but it's not recommended to mess with it.

The mechanic said to just not worry about the high idle and when the next service is due they'll degree the cams. I really do not have my head around all this vacuum, air bleed, TB balance interplay and think messing with a TPS reset may only make things worse or compromise the current setup.

Any suggestions on what to do and if I do go ahead and does anyone know what the TPS should be set at on a 1098?

Appreciate any help on this one. Thanks.
