Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Re: Dreaded Tyre/tire thread

Very easy to install. Just remove the round plug in the CPU box under the seat. It's a computer chip which can be removed with a fuse puller, and then he new chip inserted.

I bought my Ducati Performance chip from my local Duc Dealer about 5 years ago, so maybe someone else in the forum could direct you to a website vendor. It was around $75. Best mod I've ever done to the bike. Highly recommended.

Nice you could find such a low mileage bike, I'm jealeous. How much did it set you back?

Mine used to backfire alot on downshifting (engine braking) when I first bought the bike because it was tuned so lean out of the factory. It was really rough through 4,000 rpm. Then I re-chipped the bike and all was good. If your bike still has the stock chip, I would replace it with an aftermarket one from either DP, FBF, or FIM.
Enjoy,

Guys,
I have a 01 ST2 which I just purchased. Bike has 5500 miles on it. It sat for a good 7 months. Dealer performed the 6k service. Is it normal for the bike to spit at certain times of down shifting?
