There aren’t many Ducati Paul Smart Replica Sport 1000s around, but this one made it to us. It had been fitted and (badly) set-up with a Nemesis ECU, so needed a full remap on the Dyno. Nemesis is a very good system and a pleasure to work with; each cylinder is mapped individually and we use the Nemesis Lambda sensor in one and our own in the other so we can accurately monitor the air/fuel ratio of both together. We’ve had quite a lot of time with the system over the years, including with our own race bikes, and the net result on this particular Duke was a 9bhp gain pretty much everywhere. Because Nemesis is completely adjustable you can adjust it completely the wrong way, as was the case here; it needed a thorough going through and most of the gains came from building a custom ignition map.
A rare beast - but this Smart Sport 1000 is now fully fettled
Zard pipes look good, sound even better...
