Hi everybody. I have a Ducati s4r 996 i have exhaust system open airbox with k&n filter and some tweaking on the Co trim, the bike runs a little bit rich but this is just until the power commander to arrive. To the problem now, two days ago right after work i hit the highway, it was like 23.00 and it was chilly, i had the bike on the stand for 5 min at least before i start. I aggressively accelerate, hitting the rev limit on the 4th gear i switch on the 5th ant then the power cut off at around 5000 rpm. Ever since the bike doesn't rev over 5000 rpm aprox. If i go gentle maybe rev like a thousand more then drops again. The same thing happens when it is on the neutral. If i stay on the gas it goes to the 5000 and drops back again a drops. I check the fuel filter the fuel pump i changed the fuel and clean up the gas tank nothing changes though. I am thinking that is maybe the spark plug is that a case? Please HELP

No, not the spark plugs. Likely a limp mode from the bikes ECU. Your air box and filter modes may cause a lean fuel condition, not rich. Wait till you get and install your Power Commander. The ECU should reset when you disconnect the battery for the PC install. Make sure you get the right map for your PC.

Sounds like you're running out of fuel. It doesn't take much power (ie, fuel) to rev it in neutral, which might explain why it does that fine but falls over under load. Checked your fuel pressure/pump/filter?

SOURCE: cutting out at higher rpm

If the engine is the DOHC 16 valve engine inline 4, and has multiple carbs, then I have 2 suggestions for you, First thing I would take the carbs off, as a whole rail, and have them ultra-sonically cleaned at a shop, and the diaphragms checked in the tops. After that, you need to have the carbs synced while on the bike. I have a GSF600S and it was basically opposite your problem, it had a sputter in the low rpm range, and the carb syncing fixed it, and they honestly weren't that far off. The way those carbs feed fuel, if one is giving too much fuel then it will cause ur plugs to foul, or flood that cylinder, causing the issue. For the carb syncing I suggest building this tool, which I did for my bike.
http://www.powerchutes.com/manometer.asp
It's a liquid column differential manometer, which very accurately and sensitively measures the vaccum on the different cylinders of the engine. The only other thing I can think of is your ECM, which controls the engine, and incorporates your rev limiter. These are pretty pricey, so I would do the steps above first.

I would say that your bike may be running a little lean. I usually replace the jets on all my bikes as soon as I get them as the emissions requirements mandate that the manufacturers pass stringent emissions tests prior to the dealer selling them. Some bikes wont even idle or run, especially off road bikes from places like California. and in these cases you must re jet it is a must! I even throw away or drill larger holes into my air cleaner cover.

Good Luck!

Ducati 996 is spluttering andt he rev counter needle jumps only when i do longer rides?

If the bike runs fine until its warm then ecu should be ok. If you haven't serviced it for a while check the fuel filter, notorious for affecting injector pressure. Electrics: check battery and ignition coils (can show problems when hot) I have a cool ecu recommendation for the 996 ping me here and I can give you details if you want?

S4R ECU/PCIII/Open Air Box Question

I have the same mods. on my ST4s and went with the DP ecu , basically if you open up the airbox you should match the fueling (DP ecu or PC111) to get it to work well. Is it worth the effort? Yes, the mid range fills in and there is a horsepower increase on top. I noticed in situations where I required a downshift or two I now no longer do (degreeing my cams gave a simular result). Thats my 2 cents.

Emgine swap

If you want an S4r then go for it and don't be put off by what others say. The engine mounts are identical on all Ducati engines, so you'll haev no worries there. I am not aware of any extra mounting tabs on the LC engines. The only problem you may have is that the later S4rs get 12mm engine mounts wheras the 620 will have 10mm. Not a problem if you have a 12mm drill bit. As far as swingarms are concerned, your 620 arm will fit fine. I wouldn't be worried about the frame twisting under the 996 grunt. Use the 620 ignition, & coils. Plug into the 996 injectors and use a powercommander to adjust the fuelling. The exhaust will be different - use an S4r exhaust and you'll be fine. Above all, be totally convinced that you can do this and don't let anyone put you off.

Headlight adjustment

he airbox will come off pretty easy you have to pulle off the breatherhose from under the airbox it goes behind the rear cylinder. also the funnels on the injectors need to be taken off. I am not sure what kind of funnels there are on a 748 compared to a 996, but you on a 996, you only have to twist them for a 1/4 turn, no more, and then pull, pretty hard, to get them off.,,,
