I have a new 696 (yes I know, they are all new) with the Termi's and ecu kit installed when I took delivery. It almost died on me on the highway the other day. The temp indicator, it is just a bar graph, was pegged. I was doing 65 for about 8 min, my typical commute, and any throttle would bog  the motor heavily. The thing backfires and stumbles some at part throttle, I am thinking The mapping on the ecu is off a little. Any thoughts? Other than that it is a blast to ride, and the Termis with the DB killers removed is LOUD.

hope you get that looked at soon, it almost sounds like fuel starvation to me. 

It only happened once at about 134miles. The thought the same thing and thought maybe I ran the tank dry. He was pretty surre he gave it to me full though. So I went to the gas station and put 1.6 gal in it. So that means I got 83.75 mpg? Probably running super lean, hence the overheat, or it is they most fuel efficient thing out there.

Even I dont get those kinds of MPG on my crf230!  Did they re-map the ecu, either something is wrong with the ecu or you have a block in your fuel line/vac. tubes.  When will you be taking it back in. 

have it checked out asap - that doesn't sound good.

we have one with a similar issue as well..  we have eliminated the ECU as the problem by swapping ECU with our demo.  We will work on it more today and we will begin looking at fuel delivery, venting etc..

Is that with Termis too?

Baseline:  300mi on my total stocker - 44mpg.

Same exactly with me.  300 miles, 44mpg.  Not bad.  Thats a lot of short run stop and go too.

The demo at my dealer had the same fueling issues.

after we checked a stock ecu we installed pipes and the problem still exists but less

Reading this makes it easier for me to wait.     Hope you get the bug though!

Now that`s why you buy a bike from second model year onwards

Hello, this is my first post here, I've been reading in a few different forums and I think I've found my home.  I just picked up my first monster a couple weeks ago, Black 696 with CF Termis.  I'm loving it, about 20 miles until my first service and I've noticed the same problems.  I haven't had it die on my, but I do get some jerkiness when trying to maintain a constant speed below, say, 40 mph.  And also some popping on decel.  I talked to the tech at my dealer (LifeCycle, Kalamazoo, MI), and he said something about two o2 sensors, and that he had witnessed it on other models with the same configuration (Keeping the o2 sensors instead of ditching them).  I've heard that this is some sort of trim dial on the DP ECU, is this something I can play with?

Yeah, that worked out for the S2R1k owners too...


I don't know -- I just don't think Ducati has got this whole O2 stuff figured out yet. They admited to a problem w/ the 1k's, and said none of those issues will affect the 696 now that they have dual O2 sensors. I might be a little cynical but so far that isn't looking too good... To soon to tell I guess.
