Version1

This project is aimed at allowing a Motogadget dash board to be installed on a Ducati Sport Classic in place of the original dashboard without any loss of functionality, and without any need to modify the original wiring harness of the motorbike.

At this stage I cannot provide mounting brackets for the Motogadget dashboard.

Details on the Motogadget gauges can be found here:

The module that I have created plugs into the dashboard connector, with a second connector for the Motogadget dashboard to plug into:

The module measures 55mm x 35mm x 50mm, including the connectors.

The original dashboard has six display lights while the Motogadget dashboard has only four. to get round this difference without loss of information:

  1. Indicators light and Low Fuel light are combined on the Yellow display light, i.e. if Low Fuel occurs, the Yellow display light will come on without flashing, but when either the Left or Right indicator is turned on, the Yellow display light will flash

  2. Oil Pressure Warning light and EODB light are combined on the Red display light, i.e. if the EODB signal occurs, the Red display light will flash, while if the Low Oil Pressure signal occurs the Red ligh will stay on without flashing. The Low Oil Pressure signal takes precidence over the EODB signal, i.e. if both signals occur, you will only see a non-flashing Red display light.

Other functionality provided by the module:

  1. Left and Right Indicators.

  2. The Motogadget dashboard requires a delay in the switching off of power so that the needle returns to zero. The module provides 3 second delay so that when the ignition key is switched off, and the engine stops the needle returns to zero.

  3. Motogadget dashboard has a two line digital display. The first line always displays your speed, but the second line can show a variety of different data, including oil temperature, by pressing a push button switch. The module simulates pressing a push button switch and changes the display so that it displays oil temperature on startup.

Reflash ECU:

The original dashboard on the Sports Classics is an integral part of the security system on these bikes. If the dashboard is disconnected, it is not possible to start the motorbike.

So the first thing you have to do is get you ECU reflashed so as to remove the immobolizer function. This will allow the bike to run without the ECU being paired with the dash, freeing you up to install which ever dash you like. There are several places that can reflash the ECU, including:

Oil Temperature Sensor:

The original oil temperature sensor installed on the motorbike is not compatible with the Motogadget dashboard. Motogadget sell a suitable sensor:

As soon as I know what size is required, I will update this page.

Motogadget dashboard connector:

The connector supplied with the Motogadget dashboard needs to be removed, and the supplied connector fitted. The wiring details for this connector are:

CONNECTOR VIEWED FROM WIRE SIDE

If you are not comfortable with wiring up this connector, you can arrange to have the Motogadget dashboard shipped to me, and I will wire up this connector and then ship the fully tested dashboard and module to you. I do not charge any extra to wire up the connector, but you will incurr additional postage costs. Insured postage to the US is about $AUS55.

Configuring the Motogadget dashboard:

The Motogadget dashboard can display any of the following items on the 2nd line of the display:

  • ODO1 (trip odometer)

  • ODO2 (total odometer)

  • Time (trip time)

  • Volt (board voltage)

  • TMP1 (temperature 1)

  • TMP2 (temperature 2)

  • PRES (pressure)

  • ACCE (acceleration)

  • RPM (engine speed)

  • AVG (average driving speed)

  • 0100 (time measurement 0 - 100 km/h)

  • MAXS (maximum driving speed)

  • MAXR (maximum engine speed)

  • MAXA (maximum positive acceleration)

  • MINA (maximum negative acceleration)

As a minimum, the Motogadget dashboard be configured so that the Trip Time option is removed, i.e. the first four options are:

  • ODO1 (trip odometer)

  • ODO2 (total odometer)

  • Volt (board voltage)

  • TMP1 (temperature 1)

If you do not want the module to start the dashboard on the Oil temperature option, I can provide the module with this function removed, but note that it cannot be added later.
