So, you can get an UpMap kit for the 2021 SF (EU5 exhaust) and a map for the Akra slip on but still no map for the 2021 bike?
The UpMap kit is simply the same device with an EU5 adapter I presume.
Has anyone yet UpMapped a 2021 EU5 bike and unplugged the lambda sensors on that bike?
EDIT: Response from Termi customer service:
"If you have a Euro5 specification bike, of course you have to use a Euro5 map otherwise the 2021 bikes non Euro 5 are 100% similar to the 2020 model.
About the lambda, you have to follow the recommendation of UpMap, so on the Eu5, you have to remove the 4 lambdas and replace them by plugs."
So, this would imply that there are already maps available for the EU5 bikes. Wasn't aware of that.
'replace them by plugs' is a little disconcerting. That would mean removing the sensors from the exhaust rather than just unplugging the connectors?
Removing them is only to keep from fouling them up. If you were to leave them in and then try to return the bike to stock with the Ducati maps, they wouldn't work and you'd have to buy new ones.
If you never plan to use them again, just unplug them.
Helpful, thanks. Still trying to figure out the unplugging process for the EU5 bike. Not sure if the wiring connectors are also under the tank and if there are 4 instead of just 2 or if the 4 sensors still run into 2 connectors.
Problem is that it is very obvious to the service agent that the bike is not OEM once the Ducati dongle is plugged in... So better to discuss beforehand.
I just asked my dealer. Their response was, "If you add any third party accessories, not sold from Ducati, you will void warranty alltogether. Even if the error is not related to the parts." You have a slip on? Sorry, but your failing clutch switch is no longer a valid warranty claim.
What a joke!
It's too bad that it is such an issue with semantics around the aftermarket maps. The real problem with the OEM maps is that they have to meet emissions standards (and noise standards which have a secondary effect).
