Is there anyone in DFW..

That can remap the ECU or do a custom tune. I'm new to the area, I moved to Greenville about 3 months ago. I ended up buying a 09 1100s with 2400 miles. I love the bike, its my 1st Ducati. Despite how much I like the bike I have to get the starting issue fixed.  I work 12hr shifts, I don't want to spend 15 mins every morning when I get off sitting in the parking lot trying to start my bike.    I know there has to be a fix for this. I ordered a Arrow full system for it 2 weeks ago and it should be here this week. I am really asking for sugestions as well. I need someone that knows how to tune a twin.

thanks.

Did you get the charcoal canister deleted? I have an '09 1100 and once that was gone so was my hard starting issues.

I guess I'm back to square 1, the canaster has alredy been removed. I'm going to remove the lines that have been capped and cap the nipple at the TB boot. I guess there is a small chance there is a air leak somewhere. I sure was hopefull this was the problem.  

-----------------------------

Update...  I capped the fitting at the throttle body and it seems to have fixed the problem. I also added a little Lucus octane boost to the tank. I'm not sure if both helped or just one. I have never used octane boost, I've always thought of it as being a wast of money.  Thanks for the help.      I was ready to sell it the other day after sitting in the parking lot for 20 minutes.

glad to hear you got the issue resolved 

I'd stay away from the octane boost stuff though, there's no reason that would help this issue or really much else either
