Termi/DP ECU kit problems - popping from Airbox

[ellingly]

Voltage of 11V with it running, an 07 bike with a 'dead' battery... I'd be looking at alternator or reg/rect, really. New battery from another bike just means that the alternator doesn't have to do as much work. Actually, I'm pretty sure if it's at 11V at 4k rpm the alternator is most definitely iffy. Even with a completely dead battery it should be up to a charging voltage at that point. Reg/rects usually end up overcharging.

Yep.  Charging system problem.

The new Battery is in and it all appears to be running fine, The alt has a healthy output, but the thinking is the battery has a short onboard, they tested the voltage regulator and it also appears fine.

Why did the bike start? why did the bike run? Why did the voltage drop that much when everything said it shouldn't have, A lot of things have not made sense with this Termi kit, but it would appear that a light is now on at the end of the Tunnel.

I heard it this morning at the dealer and it was running well, much better than it ever has since the kit was fitted, it was running very rich though, so I said for them to keep it until monday rather than rush the job through on a saturday morning, and I'll keep enjoying the Hypermotard they have lent me  Pity I have to work all weekend

Update:

Got the bike back about 20 mins ago, and guess what, it still runs like a bucket of shit!

They have taken it back and I have the Hypermotard back again.

7 weeks of this crap, I might be time to take it all out and return it to stock.

make the beast with two backsing muppets. I still vote something wrong with the charging system.

Pretty sure Ducati Australia wouldn't pay for it to be freighted by Bikes Only down to Brad, him to fix it, then freighted back to you. Which is a major pity.

By George!!! I think they got it, I got the bike back late yesterday and they approached me rather red faced and admitted they loaded the wrong fuel map, they went for the test ride and everything was OK, when they went back to the shop amix up occured and one of the Mechanincs misunderstood the Senior Tech and he reloaded the old map back in, so when I picked it up the old map made the bike run like crap.

New map is in, and it would appear to running quite well, It handles hot running (Caught in traffic) and the higway runs very well, it has more power, and no coughing or farting.

It's idleing around 1000rpm (Don't know if that is good or bad) but at least, for now it all appears to running like it should.

I shall keep you all posted.

That explanation from your dealer doesn't add up, but if its running OK then the objective was achieved.
