I was at the dealer today to get the recall done for the left control switch supplementary wiring harness.
After WAF had flagged the possibility of a new update following on from his conversation with a representative from NFI.
I asked the tech whether he'd heard of any new updates.
He said he wasn't sure, so he said he'll connect the bike to DDS and see.
Lo and behold, there's a new update on the computer that's for "fueling" or something to that effect.
It takes a fair while to load (maybe 10-15 minutes)
It does indeed fix the erratic throttle actuation when riding over choppy/rough roads and helps one to ride smoother at any time.
It's especially nice upon setting up for the corner entry, mid corner throttle control and exit.
The bike now wants to work with you, instead of you having to second guess what the bike will do and be pre-emptive with inputs to compensate.
The bike also feels more powerful right through the rev range, and any perceived lack of power in the mid range is greatly reduced
The action of the EBC seems to be improved as well.
I'm not sure, but I think the bike is quite a bit louder and more snarly/throaty.
The tune is definitely different by a long way
This single update, is ground breaking stuff for the 1199
And a big leap forward
If this is a sign of things to come with the racing program.
We are in for some interesting times.
Thanks DUCATI for listening to our prayers
Thanks WAF for the great tip off
