Message for 999 / 749 owners , 998\'s too probably

I am thinking of trading in my 999S for a 749R , I was intending selling my 57mm system seperately or fitting the pipes , air filters and footrest spacer to the new bike and trying to do a swap with Ducati UK with the ECU for one suitable for a 749R.

I am being told that when you plug the race ECU into the bike , when the battery is reconnected the bike programmes the new ECU and it will then only work on that particlular bike , if you try fitting the ECU to any other 999 the bike will not even start

This means that if I sell my pipes to another 999S owner they (or me) will have to fork out £538 (plus VAT) for a new "blank" ECU

Since the 998 also used the same plug in ECU as is now fitted to the new bike this will probably affect them too


Has anyone else heard anything about this ?
