M796 race ECU

[DarkMonster620]

And now the bike revs better in the low range and breathes easier?
And there is no bad affect on the bike?

yes, none

Pulling from a standing start it will do one pull and not the usual, "wait, now, flapper is open" type of hesitant acceleration . . . This from the bikes I have installed

Wow this would be a much less expensive fix than a full Termi install

So, I did the Modulator install this morning.
Took 30 minutes, very simple. Did not take out the valve motor yet as I want to see how things are first.
Thanks for posting the instruction DarkMonster as they did not send any with it.

Took a 40 mile ride thru some town traffic and some back country roads.

It is so much better in the lower revs.
Will pull strongly from 2000 rpm.
Don't need to drop to 1st gear everytime in slow corners.
No more clunk clunk when you drop below 4000 rpm.
I am able to get to 6th gear without having to go above 80 mph.

Only negative maybe that it might be slightly slow on power at the higher rev range.
I will ride more this weekend and have a better idea.

So far I highly recommend it.

When and if, you decide to replace your exhaust and the Termi kit is all gone, I would and highly recommend the Rexxer Tunning option, allows for the OEM and any other diagnostic tool to connect and read data and ask the tuner to flash with the DP map and let him know where would you like the map to be "beefed up"

glad to be of assistance

[Dochunt]

Thanks again for the great advice. I will probably do the exhaust in the summer. Right now I am busy getting a Zx6r ready for the track

So. Did about 200 miles this weekend. It does seem that the bike has lost a little power. Is that possible with disconnecting the exhaust valve?

feels like it . .  you just don't have the back-presure that the flapper fave . . now, it would be a GREAT time to flash ECU with DP796 map and install whichever exhaust you like . . . jusst ask tuner to install EURO map . . . HUGE difference

[Dochunt]

Another project. Will get working on it. Thanks again

Just running this up the flagpole as it might work well without the expense of cans, etc., etc... Was discussed on a Triumph forum where it works as advertised. Stupid simple too on a Bonneville where everything is right in your face. I'd try it first on the 796 but am too lazy to go digging under bodywork..., but might feel differently in the spring.  Apparently only relatively recently has this outfit supported Triumph and Ducati, but a long-time BMW tweak with mostly BMW reviews. There was one D-Scrambler though...

Anyway, this rig skins a cat a different way vs Fat Duc which won't work with Siemens. Plugs into the air temperature sensor circuit and tricks the ECU into believing that it's 20 F colder, resulting according to them, in a 6% richer AFR across the board, (has it's own remote temp sensor).

See what you think. http://www.boosterplug.com/shop/frontpage.html

Certainly a cheap if somewhat basic option. An adjustment more than a tune, but could be useful.

I know some have said that the Exhaust valve Emulator does nothing, but after having it on for a few weeks I am sure the bike is much smoother in the lower rev range and much easier to ride in traffic.
I might try this other option in the summer,

I was planning on geting my ecu flashed this spring.  Should this be done instead or will the best option be to do both? 2009 1100.

Maybe PM cyberswine and ask him about his experience. http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=72233.msg1332793#msg1332793
