As we all know, coils burn ECU or dashboard panel.

If you have a problem with your computer or dashboard, send me I'll fix it .

What do you fix (specifically)? Is there a warranty or guarantee? What if you can't fix or damage it; do you replace? How much?

I replace damaged elements in the ECU

Is there a warranty or guarantee?

Replacement of the coils is crucial, so that the computer is not burned again .
If you replace the coils YES, 90 days warranty .

But as i said before BROKEN COILS MUST BE REPLACEMENT .

What if you can't fix

if I can't fix, it won't be fix ...

... or damage it; do you replace?

I repair broken ECU's, not broke working unit .
it's hard to break something broken, without time travel .

How much?

The repair price should be between 200 - 350 € depending on the complexity of the repair .
 
We know this because :
In aprilia rsv4 we have the same ECU and was never burned .
Aprillia got Eldor Coil, Ducati have BERU .
It is not known if they were simply badly produced or time works for them,
but after a while they have a voltage discharge and high voltage goes on the bus lines.


Link for simply mod Coil from Aprillia , then the problem will never arise

Thanks bro - I ordered the alternative Eldor 848,1098, 1198 coils so it’s just plug n play - didn’t want to mess around trying to switch the connectors etc

Was just wondering how you would know the coils are bad? My orig Beru coils have 24k kms on them with no issues, but after reading some posts - I don’t wanna take the chance for my ecu, my dash had the recall done already.

Because you are an intelligent Guy, I was unaware of the consequences . In the service they put a can filter and i think the case is closed .
Until left from Poland travel to Spain , where in the ducati workshop they told me over 3k euro ...

This is tricky part, we do not know .
So they need to be replaced as soon as possible.
As you can see in the pictures my BERU has 16k kilometers and kill my ECU .

Yes, definitely worth the effort - it’s cheap insurance ; )

Is there any part inside the dash/ecu that you can see where you could beef it up and less prone to stray voltage spikes? Like a diode or a ferrite bead or something? Just curious if there is a replacement circuitry component that could assure it never happen again (other than the coils). Also, I have been sharing this all over the other platforms. People have been waiting for this. A couple other things people are waiting for(if you are into programming) , electronic cruise control and the ability to reset maintenance counter and TPS . Tuneboy was saying they were going to make a cruise control for the bike years ago but walked away from the project.

I do not think so ... it's pure energy has to be deposited somewhere, ecu is the best place :confused:
M.A.E. can filter protected dash electronics very well, but only dash . Magnetti ecu does not have

Yes, programming. Generally im designs machines and devices, or electronics designs, not repair ECU .
The idea from tps is cool, it is possible because everything is possible.
But also remember, how much could i earn in design time if it would be profitable :oops:

all best.

Protect ECU is so complicated.

I could design electronics to secure the computer, but how do we check it ?? :p
What if it secures the ecu but will be more security than can filter to dash ??

If someone has a damaged units ecu/dash + BERU OLD Coils and give them away for free,
I can fix them and try to burn them again for experimental purposes .

Forgive me, but I prefer not to experiments on my units ;)
 
Maybe a dumb question, but since the CAN filters protect the dash, can't we just install filters to the ECU also? But I guess the plug and play solution sounds like Eldor coils off another Ducati.

I don't think that's a dumb question, This is the first thing that logically comes to mind .
In theory, yes. It could work, in practice, I don't know .

As I wrote earlier, the energy will want to go somewhere ...

I wonder if we use a ferrite bead/choke like the new Aprilia coils have(and most household electrical things). I'm curious if you could just get a bead kit and apply attach them to the OEM coil leads. It should quiet down/eliminate stray voltage from the coils if they are placed at the coils. Hmmm.....
 
To be honest with you same effect like ferrite choke you will get if you hang the sausage on the mirror :)

It will do absolutely nothing, if you get damaged Colis ...

Induction Noise and discharge two different things .

TPS can be reset with Rexxer Evo
you can do that with any Evo on any Hyper (I suppose also many other Ducs) without that the EVO and mappings have to match your engine

Only 1100/796 you can reset the TPS. The only way to reset the TPS on the 821,939 and 950 is to go with the Rexxer ($600)as you mentioned. Other than that these is not another way. I have the Lonlec cables to the OBD to USB cable and trying with Guzidiah, Jpdiag and Melcodiag. They haven't been able to crack the TPS reset function as well as some others like the maintenance counter. You can see error codes and reset error codes at home, sperratically you can operate things like turning the fans on and off for test purposes but nothing more yet. If you have figured out a way to do the TPS or maintenance counter at home through some software and cables there is a growing community of hyper owners that would love to know how. I have been working on this off and on for a few years now.

I emailed Woodrich this week asking if they had a the service for our bike or if they were willing to provide the community with a way to adjust maps inside the ecu, maintenance reset and adjust other things I was told that they currently have not anything for the hyper line but are willing to do this if a bunch of us were to show interest in their system.
Woolrich is one of the biggest/best(arguably) ECU tuner and access for the whole Ducati superbike line. It would be really cool if the community were to email them so we can get the ability to do our own service.
