I have had the Woolich Racing Autotune kit before I got my Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss. When I first went to just test it and flash the ECU after putting the Akrapovic slip on exhaust on and removing the exhaust servo, I also changed the fan to come on at 90 degrees. It worked then but never worked again. So Woolich wanted my ECU but I had the Ducati Akrapovic engine map "Racing" and thought this will do & said I will wait for your software to work.

2 years later - it works. So I want my V2 to go faster & have used Woolich on my 2015 Yamaha R1M I have had since new & also I had a 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R KRT Edition so I have experience using it.
I had wideband O2 adapters but when I pulled the bike apart they obviously don't fit! So I ordered the Akrapovic top exhaust section as it has the wideband O2 sensor bungs built in. While waiting for the exhaust I also removed the PAIR/AIS and installed block off plates. Then totally removed the charcoal filter and all of the hosing and blocked off the outlets at the intakes. I looked at the woolich power adapter and it was wrong!!! Older models had a bigger plug. They did tell me it was basically just power so I made a plug to fit the standard O2 sensor but for whatever reason once it was divided to go to 2 individual Zeitronix ZT-3's there was no power? After putting the entire bike back together that was a monumental swearing moment. Then when I asked Woolich they didn't believe me & asked if the bike had been modified. Eventually they said there is a new plug which is 2 x individual plugs from the standard O2 sensor to each ZT-3 box. I said is there any chance you can send me those first and I can send this wrong one back? No answer, twice. So I posted it back by express on Sunday. They didn't pick it up until Wednesday & then said since I had modified the plug to try and make it work, they would have to charge me for the new one, which I hope they meant to be new "ones" as in 2 plugs. Whatever, after waiting for almost 3 years for this to work it's annoying but I just want to get it going. They didn't charge postage!!! Would of been so much easier if they just posted them out 1st and I could of swapped them over in 1 go but whatever.

I went to flash the ECU with the EVAP removed so I wouldn't get a fault light. Everything looked good then it decided to lose contact and I had to recover the ECU. After asking 5 times what does it recover to? My old map or a generic V2 standard map it was a generic V2 standard map so that buggered up all of my flashing of the ECU previously to clear the removed parts error codes. I had to start it to finish the write ECU process. Anyway usually with Woolich you can delete codes. So I flashed it a second time with the "racing" map with everything removed, disabled. Everything is OK except the fuel gauge is flashing. I ordered an EVAP block off wiring plug which I am hoping will fix that. I was at Ducati last Saturday and they said they can only remove it if I put it back to stock? Sounded ridiculous to me. I asked Ducati for the "Racing Evo" map that comes with the full Akrapovic system but the mechanics said yes it has the startup screen but the map is a stock V2, so I didn't get that done. Still waiting to hear from Ducati on what happened there.

Bloody Cyclone coming now although I think it is going to be bugger all. If the post arrives today I might get my 2 x power cables!!! Then I can begin with Autotuning data. So far it's been interesting.....

When you dump a map you'll need an OBDstar or equivalent to dump all the communications errors you put onto the canbus, so the BBS, ABS, etc. codes also should be deleted. The Woolich software only clears the ECU codes. If you keep programming without doing this the BBS will eventually shut the bike off. I've dealt with Woolich a bit and as you say the support simply blows.
