Duc-Servo-Buddy 42-1270
With the ServoBuddy servo eliminator for the Ducati Hypermotard 1100, the servo motor and cables become obsolete. The (now obsolete) servo motor is unnecessary weight and takes up space.
Why use a ServoBuddy servo eliminator?
The ServoBuddy reads your onboard computer and returns a signal equivalent to that of a properly functioning servo motor. This makes the ECU assume that everything is functioning correctly.
This prevents engine management errors and stops the FI (Fuel Injection) light from flashing. The FI indicator, sometimes referred to as the F1 indicator, indicates the specific type of malfunction by its flashing frequency. A continuously flashing light is not only annoying, but also dangerous: the rider may become so accustomed to the warning that they fail to notice a genuine error notification. The ServoBuddy prevents this.
Additional advantages of the ServoBuddy
On many newer models, the space behind the fairings is limited, making it more difficult to properly install a xenon ballast, a PowerCommander, an EJK, Quickshifter module, Traction Control module, or one of the many other available accessories. This simple solution quickly and easily solves the problem, which is often 'solved' by removing the tool kit. In addition to eliminating the FI warning, installing a ServoBuddy provides extra space and reduces the overall weight.
Mounting the ServoBuddy:
Mounting the ServoBuddy is fairly simple, as this module comes with plugs that fit the original wiring harness. Park your bike on a smooth, firm surface and make sure the ignition is turned off. Remove the fairings in front of the original servo motor, then remove the servo itself. Plug the ServoBuddy into the wiring harness and secure it using a cable tie. We recommend placing a strip of foam between the ServoBuddy and the frame to eliminate vibrations.
How powerful is the ServoBuddy exactly?
The ServoBuddy is made according to the same standards as the original modules in the bike. The module is 100% waterproof, shock-resistant, and can withstand major temperature changes. The electrical components are encased in epoxy, protecting them from moisture and vibrations and allowing the module to function properly in all conditions.
How much does a ServoBuddy weigh?
The ServoBuddy weighs only 20 grams. Mounting the ServoBuddy provides not only practical benefits, but also makes the bike (almost) 500 grams lighter.
Fits the Hypermotard 1100 and all submodels, including the 1100S and 1100EVO.
