[Ducati] Ethanol blends

[Wright, Dirk]

Well, the nice thing about an ECU with an O2 sensor, in theory at least, is that you don't have to change the fuel mapping whenever you change the exhaust system or cut open the intake box, etc. The ECU should automatically compensate for these changes.

My 749 doesn't have O2 sensor either but it does have cats (2).
   
  Maybe the S4Rs is the first Ducati to have a closed loop(?) FI system w/ O2 sensor? 
  Needed to meet the stricter Euro3 emissions standards?

  Hmm, I stand corrected. I thought that having a cat meant that you had to have an O2 sensor. sorry.

None of the ones in Europe have O2 sensors that I've seen, and my SS had 
cats before I removed them.
