I took my Icon for first service. They say they are doing a remap. Do any of you gals/guys got a remap on your first service?
Mine was fitted when I first picked it up. Mechanic told me yesterday, it took some fiddling to get things aligned. Then yesterday, he did the belly pan & then more fiddling for alignment.I've got a race termi ready to be fitted, just not sure if I should wait for the first service or not!
If you do it yourself, dealer will still have to flash the new tune in for you.I'm only 200miles from first service so I'll see if the dealer can do it then for free, if not I'll give it a go myself! Along with the FT bars
Apparently only dealer can load the mapOh Really? even if I've got the new remap key myself?
Correct. They use their diagnostic hook-up thingy. (I was told this way, Ducati can check via computer who has what tune @ what time.)Apparently only dealer can load the map
Thank you Joe! What does this typically cost?Put simply, there is a fuel and ignition map (think of it as a progarmme) stored in the ECU (electronic control unit) which controls all of the various parameters for metering fuel, ignition timing, advance, etc.
As a generalisation, the standard map on most bikes is set as much with emissions regulations in mind as peformance. What this can mean is that the optimum fuel / ignition setting for smooth running / performance is often compromised to meet emissions legislation.
Re-mapping is a programme overwrite, which if done well eliminates any lean surges, hesitancy, harshness and restores optimum performance.
