That is indeed fascinating. Is there any possibility the R owner never used the usb key on his bike before he sent it to you? I will be trying that exact methodology on my bike to see if it works for me. Thanks for the heads-up.

The usb key was never used, the system i bought was brand new in the box. With the part number from the R, even has the vin number of the R that it was supposed to go with.

The only problem I could see is that the R up-map gives 500 more rpm and for a non R motor this could mean disaster.

The key doesn't have a map on it, it just changes maps in the ECU

I just finished the install, i will take her for a spin tomorrow and let you know how she rides

Playaktam, I did the usb key install as you suggested, and you are indeed correct - it loaded up the first time. Thanks much for the help. Now I need only to reload he TuneBoy cruise control and trim program. If any other forum members have the TuneBoy, is this necessary to reload (before I bother with it), or is changing the usb key something that leaves the TuneBoy programming unmolested in the ECU? Thanks to all of you for your help.

This may have been explained somewhere else, if so apologies for the repeat question. For bike warranty purposes, can one remove the tune boy, leave no trace and Ducati is no wiser? I worry about voiding factory warranty on my S, and would rather do a Dyno tune at the dealer. The downside is, it's a one-time deal, no further tuning is possible.

Desmobil, I am no expert on the TuneBoy by any means, but I am pretty sure you can dyno-tune the bike, and thereafter save the values on the TuneBoy Trim program. Then when needed, you can reload it back onto the ECU at a later time if you have changed back to OEM programming for dealer work. My question a few posts above deals with whether if you change the keyed programming, it is necessary to reload the TuneBoy cruise and trim programs again - in other words, by changing the keyed programming (base to slip-on to full Termi) does this procedure erase the TuneBoy programming you had previously loaded? The bike is apart at the moment, so until my OZ Carlos Checa wheels come in, no way to test the cruise control (I guess I could start it on the stands and see if I get the blip from activating the cruise - but as TuneBoy owners know, it sometimes doesn't give you the activation blip). Fun times.

Update: The loading of the usb key does NOT affect the TuneBoy programming it appears as I heard the throttle blip upon activation of the cruise control.
