I'm new to Ducati. I fell in love with a 2023 Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro just looking at it. I urban ride. Downtown Toronto to work everyday. I "lug, lug" in first gear a lot. I can't provide the rpm's it wants because the nature of urban riding. There is typically something in front of me. I've been advised to increase two teeth on rear sprocket, Termi slip on with cat delete and ECU Flash. Problem is the cat delete and ECU flash. A mechanic shop with a ton of Ducati experience can't find the right pipe or flash. I welcome any thoughts on this. I'm happy to wait and see what the +2 and slip ons do before I make any major decisions. We all know what it's like to park the bike, take three steps, then look back at it one more time. I have that feeling with the Scrambler and I really hope a couple of these solutions help. Ride safe.

If your happy with the power start with just the sprocket.
Not sure the rest really does anything to help as it is a V2.
I would try dropping 1 tooth on the front - so same as 3 more on the rear - cheaper and easier to do.

Io ho uno Scrambler 800 Classic ho cambiato il pignone mettendone uno con un dente di meno e tolto catalizzatore mettendo scarico hd corsa con db killer la moto va' bene secondo me sul 1100 proverei a mettere una corona con due denti di più cambiando anche lo scarico
Hi Detroit, I have a 2023 Scrambler Tirbutr Pro. Here my mods.
1- Termi slip on, found new on eBay for $900
2- Cat delete, not from termi, from Cina stainless steel $80

3- K&N High flow air filter $60 and modified air box cover by me $20
4- Power commander 6 with auto tune, better than ecu flash. $800
I got a 41T sprocket for the real wheel but honestly I haven’t installed it because the bike runs so well so much low torque gets to 110mph in no time. I can map the bike to the wether conditions with the PC6 so I always get the best performance in hot, cold, humid conditions.
If you have some basic mechanical skills you can do all this for less than buying a full Termi and ecu map from Ducati and you get better results. My Ducati service manager rode my bike and his actual words were after “Wow!! This is the quickest Scrambler I have ever ridden”
Let me know if this helps.

Looks like you have received a lot of helpful replies! I'm in Toronto too, and not new to Ducati. 
I've owned several Ducatis, with this Scrambler being the smallest displacement.
I certainly don't mean to imply anything amiss with your riding skills or experience... but perhaps you're more familiar with riding inline (smooooooth) fours? I'm sure changing the sprocket would smooth out low speed... but before doing that, you might just try riding in second gear and slipping the clutch to smooth things out? I never changed the sprockets on any of my previous (seven) Ducatis - in traffic I just ride in second and slip the clutch. I ride regularly in congestion in city and on the 401, and it's not a problem. Just a thought! Might be worth a try
BTW, which Ducati shop are you dealing with? You might try Dukes of Cycle in Rexdale. Or if you are familiar with the old Rosey Toes in North York, there are new owners, and Nick is apparently a Ducati tech. I will be getting my desmo service done there soon. Good luck!

Keep in mind, a +2 sprocket is going to have your bike SCREAMING at low highway speeds. You'll learn the clutch/throttle, it takes time on these bikes.
