Bazzaz for 1299 question

Ok I have had it with this bike . The dealer has given it a valiant effort to fix the fueling issues to no avail. I just got the bike properly dynoed yesterday. It turns out my theory was right. It is running waay to lean from 4000 to 8500 rpm. It is also running pretty fat up to about 9500 rpm! So the AFR's are allover the place. This explains why it is such a dog on the low to midrange so now i have to find a way for my Dyno tuner to adjust it. I don't want to go through all the hassle of re drilling the exhaust bung and installing a wide range Co2 sensor etc (not to mention the $895.00 cost for the Rapid Bike tuner etc)

So my next step is Bazzaz. They have a unit for the 1199 available however I have two questions....
1. Will it work on the 1299?
2. If so, can I retain the quick shifter up and down feature?

If so then I can have my Dyno guy tune it for me. OK yeah, one more question....after going through all the process, will the Ducati's ECU just change it back? I intend to leave the O2 sensors disconneted...

Any input from those that actually have some experience with Bazzaz would be appreciated...

I just got the new 1299 + full Akro Tuneboy map from Wayne today (not the Boulder map)
And it is night and day, this is how the bike should be.

I have LC2 wide sensors installed on the stock bungs,
But to be honest if you just use the above map, you won't need them.
I don't think I need to tune it further or add a trim file its that good, well chuffed and recommend it.

In the mid range, there is no lag or low areas just arm ripping pull right through the rpm range,
It's astonishing and really scares the .... out of me now.

Thanks I wonder if it would work for the US ?
Did it affect the quickshifters up or down feature??

I don't see why it would affect the quickshifter, since that's activated by the strain gauge in the shift linkage and goes directly to the ECU.

I installed a Bazzaz in my wife's Monster, and it's more or less like any Power Commander - intercept the ECU's injector signal, and send a modified signal to the injector. If the Panigale kit is anything like the Monster's, then you disconnect the O2 sensors, and connect O2 sensor simulator dongles onto the bike's harness (like a servo buddy, but powered and a bit more complex). You can then toss the O2 sensors in the trash and plug the holes with bung covers.

You'll then have control over the fueling. Hopefully the trim is enough to let you compensate for the gaping holes in your particular bike's fueling.

Just my 02 cents, had a full 1199 Akra exhaust installed on my 1299 then took it to Redline in Virginia to have them reflash the ECU and run it on the dyno, prior to my week long stay here in NC for a proper break-in, I couldn't be happier with the way that the bike is running now compared to stock, its a freaking misssile even though the motor is still in its infancy, can't wait until it reaches around 2500 miles

That would be great for me however I don't have a dealer anywhere close that has the expertise or programmer to flash the factory ECU. That would be the ideal way to go. Anyone know of a tuning/dyno shop that can do it through the factory ECU in the Austin tx or central Texas area?

the Tuneboy system is DIY and flashes the ECU. You just need to be comfortable with Windows.

I know it's a bit further, but I'll take a 3 hour drive to get it sorted, did you try AMS Ducati in Dallas?

God I love this bike, lol......

i've not been to the Dragon for many yrs. Love that place (back in 1995ish) and 300miles radius area. it has to be one of the "must ride" road experience you need to make the trip (my $0.2)!

I've had Redline flash the ECU on my street fighter a few years back and I had it all done by mail which worked out well, so that's another option also

Great bike Larry, but you guys are taking the op's thread off track.... I too would like to know more info on bazzaz if anyone has any. As they have a great product.
