Hypermotard needed for product testing!

As some of you know, a few of the newer Ducati's (hypermotard, M1100, streetfighter, etc) have this big ugly actuator mechanism beneath the seat with cables actuating a "flapper valve" in the exhaust.  It's a bit Rube Goldberg in functionality and a waste of underseat room!  Also if you have an aftermarket exhaust, you have this gizmo along for the ride as removing it will toss CEL error messages.

Thus Bernard / Vizi-Tec and myself created a device we call Duc.EE -- essentially a small little solidstate gizmo that replaces the above whole mechanism and keeps the ECU happy.

It works great on the M1100 and Streetfighter with the Siemens ECU.

We need a Hypermotard (with stock ECU) for a few hours / days for Bernard to test in his lab (bike won't be ridden) in the San Jose area.  He can transport via truck/ramp as needed.

Perk of helping -- contact me off-line (e-mail: MarkSavory@motocreations.com) or Bernard (e-mail: bernard@vizi-tec.com)

Thanks!

Or if you rather ride the HM to my place i'll give you a ride(via cage) back to your place and pick you up when i complete the tests. Save us the hassle of loading/unloading my truck.

And not to worry about your bike. It will be in a safe and private spacious 2.5 car garage. The series of tests i'll be doing is nothing intrusive. I'll be monitoring a couple of signals with an oscilloscope during and after start up.

Again... there will be perks for helping [beer]

Thanks,
Bernard

Now just promise me you won't blow his bike up  ;D
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Bike was returned without problem.

New Duc.EE (Magnetti Marelli version) was just tested today on Jules HyperMotard in the Yahoo parking lot -- success. I'll do some more followup testing up here on another HM at my shop. We will push to production then after those tests and deliveries within a few weeks.  First production item goes to Jules for all his help!

Thanks everyone!
