I recently purchased a standard ECU for my '02 ST4s from Houston Superbikes. My bike runs fine but you should be aware that these ECUs are not new. They are reflashed old or "take off" cores from other bikes. I was disappointed when I opened mine and found obvious corrosion and the word BAD written in Sharpie on the case. But, as I said, the bike runs fine. The question is for how long? I believe the 59M ECU is crap and will fail eventually if you are using and old core or if you purchase new from Ducati. I carry a spare ECU with me when I tour. Ducati should have done better. This kind of sucks IMO and is one reason that I haven't purchased a new MTS 1200
