Damn. I wish I could remember. There was a guy that bought, or was given a run down Ducati. It may have even been a monster. We had a long discussion on arfcom about the ECM and the red key. He ended up getting it taken care of, which sounded easier than I had thought. Atill, it coat some money and time. Did you try ducati.ms yet? It's the arfcom of Ducati. I'm wondering if its worth it to just disable the immobilizer vs paying the coin for a new redkey / card combo Other than making new black keys, is the red key needed for anything else? Any diagnostic things? |

Any diagnostic things? Just keep it in your files with the title. No need to disable the immobilizer unless you don't have your keys. Just ride and enjoy. I was just working on my two Ducs today...love those things!!! |

Quote HistoryNo. It was a thread prior to this one. The guy had bought a monster for like 1700 bucks but I don't think he had any keys. Good call posting this thread though. |

So from what I'm getting, the red key is only needed for programming other black keys. Key card is needed if immobilizer borks and / or new key is needed
It looks like I can get the key cloned by a locksmith near me for a reasonable price. So am I crazy in thinking just to send the ECU out to get the immobilizer disabled, have several spare black key's cut, and go about my merry way? The bike is parked in a garage when I'm not riding it, and I'm thinking about picking up a brake lock for when I'm out. |

Nope you're not crazy. The bike doesn't automatically throw up a neon sign that says immobilizer disabled when you do it. If somebody determined wants to steal your bike they will steal it.
The only thing that changes is what they can do with it after it's stolen. Now they will be able to joy ride the damn thing till they get caught or dump it, prior they could only part it out. |

I also need to find some new turn signals for the thing. The ones that came with it are huge orange things that are atrocious

I ended up using TunerPro and IAWwriter and IAWreader to hack my ECU. Total cost was $17 for cables plus I donated a bit to the program creators.
I was able to download the hex file and reflash the ECU sans immobilizer. I bought my '03 620 dark with no keys for $350. It cranked right up after the reflash. 
Also as for keys, mine has none. I bought a rfid switch and it only starts when rfid key tag is near it. |

We've only had a few nice days that matched up with my work schedule to be able to go for a ride. I'm not at the point yet of being comfortable enough to ride night time rush hour on the highway home, so for now its just a day off mid day kind of ride. The previous owner is gave me a set of front and rear led turn signals with the bike. Biggest issue i'm having right now is forgetting to turn off the turn signals  The ones to install have little blue flashers on the back of the turn signal that are bright enough to remind me to shut them off
It rides well, its light and it does not like to be run under 3k rpm . Heavy vibration, jerky, etc if I'm in too tall a gear at low speed. Engine does not like to be dogged like that.
Still going to get a locksmith to cut me a few new keys with the rfid tag in them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: i need more info on this, because that sounds like a brilliant idea I have something similar. It's basically an on/off ignition switch with RFID tag. It's not as foolproof as the factory immobi(it locks out the ecu), because someone that spent enough time could get past the switch and start the bike. If someone goes through that much trouble, they'll either part out your bike and not care about starting it, or they can do what I did and delete the immobi entirely. Pretty gangster IMO though. I plan on rewiring and neatening up my dash this winter so I'll snag some pics of m layout. |
