(20-24) DUCATI V4 / V4S / V4 SP STAGE 1+ PERFORMANCE CALIBRATION WITH HANDHELD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

We have found the refreshed 2020 V4 has a lot of positive changes of 2020+ but with restrictions in the ECU, not only visually, but mostly all on the software side. Remember we use factory information and reverse engineer we don’t use incomplete or cheap guessing “Race” editors like our competitors do. We had to re-develop fuel map strategies from square one. Ignition maps and throttle mapping are also all new for 2020+ Ducati  V4. One of the big complaints for the V4 was the twitchy throttle that could make the bike buck in a corner along with the big torque HOLE from 4-8,000rpm. The next issue is the exhaust valve problem, bad start and idling, and low power at midrange due to extremely lean fueling.

WHAT DOES STAGE 1 INCLUDE?

• Complete control over cylinder deactivation (leave on or off)
  
• Correct fueling on both banks in “Alpha N” mode 
• Deceleration fuel cut off for all gears, the bike will no longer jerk from throttle inputs (BT Moto exclusive)
• Lower fan temp activation (BT Moto exclusive)
• Raise rev limiter
• Raised torque limiters
• Raised load limiters
• Revised traction control and ABS (BT Moto exclusive)
• Ignition timing adjustments
• Exhaust valve adjustments

Anyone that has the Akra up-map will say the bike feels a lot more lively than stock. So how does our Stage 1 flash compare? Beta testers and our own R&D reveal a VAST improvement over the stock map and even the up-map from Akra.

WE ARE NOW BETA TESTING THE SERVICE LIGHT RESET FEATURE FOR YOUR DUCATI. THIS MEANS YOU CAN RESET YOUR SERVICE LIGHT FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME WITHOUT THE EXPENSIVE DEALER FEES. OUTSIDE OF EXPENSIVE DEALER TOOLS, THERE ARE NO OPTIONS FOR AT HOME SERVICE LIGHT RESETS, THIS IS AN INDUSTRY FIRST. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE OUR HANDHELD TUNER, PLEASE UPDATE THE DEVICE FULLY AND THE FEATURE SHOULD SHOW UNDER THE TOOLS MENU. THIS IS BETA ONLY AS OF NOW AS WE FINALIZE THE PROCESS AND WHAT BIKES IT WORKS AND DOES NOT WORK ON.

WHY IS THIS THE BEST UPGRADE YOU CAN BUY?

Currently, there are only one option to flash the V4 SF and they it requires the purchase of an exhaust system. This option is mostly just fueling changes and can be dramatically improved upon. How do we know? We’ve tested all options extensively and can say with 100% confidence that our flash is superior in every way. The up-map flash option cannot be purchased independently without the purchase of an exhaust. So what do people with all other exhausts do? There’s nothing they can do at the moment. Our mapping is currently the only truly developed and tuned file using true Conti M4D Ducati function sheets and mapping accordingly, using our in-house motorcycle and dynometer and datalogging. Not just nudging numbers in generic editors, with no testing, like we see so many people do.With or without an exhaust flash, we all know the Ducati V4 SF is a great bike! We also know it isn’t perfect. Issues that we’ve tested ourselves and what customers have reported include the following:

• There’s only one flashing options (Akra provided mapping) and they require you to spend thousands on a new exhaust system to go with them. Our product will work on all used systems, or used bikes, where you don’t need a VIN specific Up-Map. We are the ONLY stand alone flash option on the market!
• Stalling for no reason during idle
• Startup issues when exhaust is installed
• Smoking issue and hard starting in all temperatures
• Issues when airflow modifications are installed
• Acceleration that isn’t smooth through the entire RPM range due to inaccurate AFR
• Engine seems to struggle (lurch or jump through RPM range, 4000 - 8000 RPM) when too warm
• Power that seems to level off (flatten) after 12,000 RPM
• Burn your legs in traffic with stock fan temperature

SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS?

After extensive R&D with our own, in-house, Ducati V4 and select “beta” testers, we can confidently say that we successfully addressed each issue and improved every performance aspect of the V4.

• No more stalling at idle for no reason
• Deceleration fuel cut off fixed (a BT only feature)
• No startup issues with exhaust installed
• Acceleration is now smooth through the entire RPM range
• Engine performs the same with the engine warm or hot
• Early fan-on temp (195 degrees Fahrenheit) to keep your engine cooler
• No problematic fault codes
