S4R Won't Start - Getting me Down - Part 2

I would go back to the start and check you have spark all the time, put a spare plug in and crank with both plugs in, when you had it running, how did you stop it, key off or kill-switch ? the switches aren't very good inside and suffer with corrosion after a time standing, try stripping and cleaning contacts with wet & dry, if you have spark it should try to run WD 40

I'm thinking the same. Re-check ignition/coil connections and relays.

Pictures as attempted in my comment of the 5th.

Please hopefully find pictures that I was trying to send earlier - (This is as per Luddite's guidance - thank you again.) one is of the ECU - which model is this? - and the second was the point where I ground to a halt trying to down load IAWdiag as I believe it is asking me which ECU it is - (there is a hole in my bucket dear Liza....)

If you carefully peel back the S925PO09 label I think you may find the ECU model number underneath...

Yea, thats been added later and not Ducati i dont think either. Refer to the ECU section on Avanti website ecplains what the numbers all mean.

Maybe its been reflashed previously at some time?

Am I correct in assuming that the ECU would have had to be "reflashed" in order to support the QD Ex Box Exhaust that has been fitted?

And does "reflashed" (in my language because I am old) - mean reprogrammed?
