A mate i sold my 998pipes/icu to is having a problem and the dealer says that it might be the icu ,is there any where i can get it fuly checked out other than just plugging it into the Ducati service tool as this doe`s not seem to regonise it

Any info would be helpfull

I presume you mean the ECU. Firstly you need to let us all know what the problems are that you are experiencing ??
are you talking about the EPROM ?
Without that knowledge I can only presume....
You may have fuelling issues? The bike wont fire up? what type of Chip is it? who made it ?
If its ultipro, it can be sent to sigma performance for checking, if its a ducati one, it needs to be in the bike unit and then connected to the ducati mathesis unit for diagnosis.

give a us a few clues first eh ??

Think hes talking about an ecu unit. I have some spares if hes struggling..eproms or ecu's

998 eprom/ECU is the all in one jobbie,similar to the 999.

Yes is the std 998 Icu ( injection control unit )actually its the 996R icu for the open 45 termis . might have been better saying that at start !!!!

The bike wont fire up and the dealer says the Ducati workshop matheis thingy wont SEE the icu , hes going to try the std icu asap to see what happens


Is that any clearer

To stop the confusion it is the ECU (electronic control init) which controls the injection not an ICU(?)

Its the twinplug bit that sits next to the battery on the 998 , it controls the electronics and the spark/injection system


The dealer now says its doing everything it should bar a spark output , so the fuel pump primes ok but no spark ,and no bike

I have a nearly new one for sale if fancy it off my 998 2002 only did 500 miles.
