Update on engine misfire

We have at last conducted the final test we wanted to do on the db1 Beta EVO engine misfire. Mike and I mounted the old coils from the M800 on the bike monday night (29th). These are single outlet coils. Tuesday a friend of mine, and fellow BEARS member, Jonathan Riley took the db1 Beta EVO out to eastern creek along with this Ducati 848 for a track day. The bike did nothing different, still exhibiting the same stumbling performance in the 7000rpm rev range.

The only component we have not changed has been the ECU. Which we firmly believe is now the issue. I am looking into replacing the nemesis with a Microtek unit, hopefully before Eastern Creek on the 11th and 12th September.
