1299s Into Track Bike

Have you actually started and run the bike, Mike? The Bosch IMU is incredibly sensitive, and needs resetting whenever you remove the headlights or do any major chassis mods, and you need the dealer to do this otherwise it's "hello, fault codes" and the bike won't work.
The position of the IMU is critical for the internal gyroscope, and if you're removing the sidestand for track bodywork, you need to make up a jig which simulates the EXACT position of the bike on its sidestand, otherwise nothing will work except the fault codes glaring at you from the dash....

Sorry for late reply...Yes had the bike up and running on a couple of track days so far...I had an error come up when I had the wheelie control adjustment on the fly and I changed it from 5 to 2 at Silverstone which resulting in a few large wheelies. This brought up a few errors on the dash but I did the tyre recalibration and it cleared and not had a fault since.

Just so everyone knows this is not correct . You do not need to make up a jig at all .
 
Hi. Just thought it was worth mentioning as not everyone seems to be aware. Ducati do their own track fairing kit which includes all the replacement plastic blanks for the lights,etc and obviously fits perfectly as it is basically the standard fairings (possibly a little thicker?) without a paint job. It was £500 here in the UK for complete front and rear plus blanking units which is cheaper than many of the aftermarket fairing kits that do not include the blanking units. I've taken a load of phots as I was fitting mine and will try to get them in post as soon as I get a chance.

So you've done the factory training, then, Wilkson?
When I prepared the 1199 R, once the IMU unit had been disconnected, fiddled around with trying to fit the older fairings, then refitted with its standard fairings and headlight unit, we couldn't get it to reset until we refitted the sidestand and reinitialized the IMU to return to factory spec.
Maybe this isn't necessary, but simple logic says it is, otherwise, what's the base setting point going to be?
I don't like error codes on my bikes. At all. :)

If you have info meaning this isn't necessary, please share it. It's also like the inability to simply load in the up-map without the full dealership DDA present and their internet connection with the factory server.
More complexity is good, but often more hassle, too.

Your making things more complicate than things need to be and sharing information that is not necessary . I don't care if you trained with NASA .
Here is my IMU bracket I have made and tested which works perfect . Three bikes have been done this way without the side stand and all bikes are currently racing with no issues .
Your the first guy to ever bring this up including "factory trained " techs we have here .If you need a bracket let me know I'm having some more made up .

Logically I'd be surprised if the IMU unit is dependent on its physical position to calibrate it's "zero".

I should think it would know which orientation is level , which way is up and which way is forward based on its internal gyro and accelerometers.

It's possible that it is dependent on its orientation, but that's not a very robust design not to mention not very German.

just my personal experience...

Stripped my 1299S ready for race fairings.. Pulled off the temp sensor and imu and put to one side..

When bike went back together it threw up a few errors.. including IMU
Simply disconnected battery and reconnected, faults went away and not had any issues or faults since. IMU was put back roughly in the same location with similar orientation.
