Hi amoslws,
The software you mentioned is for the magnet marelli ecu's, ducati has changed their supplier on some of the later models. IAW5XX was popular 10 or so years ago. It is the software issue where I have been struggling. I am happy with the riding mode mapping but I intend servicing mine as much as possible so I wanted my own diagnosis system because some of the maintenance tasks are fairly old aged and straight forward and prefer to do it myself.

On the other hand, my father was a UK drag champion (privateer) a few decades ago and he loves engines, he's perhaps a bit OCD for perfection, so he will help me come unstuck if needed.
Presently investigating whether the monster 1200 barrels will fit, hard to get the information though. I cannot tell if the water and oil channels line up. No-one seems to be forthcoming. Conrods are the same so I guess the crank will work, or I could simply take the heads and barrels in for rebore and have the heads done. But that is next years project, need to save a bit of money for mugello 2018 holiday >
so the mrs instructed me.
That's good these many projects , trip, mechanic ,... all under controlled by your Chief Accountant.Presently investigating whether the monster 1200 barrels will fit, hard to get the information though.

Edit: SS crank*
My DDA connector is in the post, will inform the forum how it went once it arrives. Obviously resetting the service warnings will take some time since the first one is at 15000km and I am only at 2600km. Should be able to read the ECU data though once plugged in. The melcodiag software only had our ecu 'M3D' included on 4th June '17. It's very new for us and the monsters 821 and 1200 owners so I expect some flaws in the programme. For a free software we shouldn't complain I guess. If it doesn't work then I am going to buy the K-Tag which allows the person to change the mapping. Melcodiag doesn't change mapping.
I do feel the same as you but the dealers are new to the bike so we are all learning together. I also felt more should be done about the issues I raised during the 1st service. I think I will do the oil services but possibly take it in for the desmo service, although the belt tensioning is easy there are other tasks that need to be done and the tools could be costly.Thanks amoslws, for your research.
I hope at a minimum to be able to reset my service light in the future. I took my bike in for the first service (against my better judgement). I just didn't want the service light to remain on even though not really that much of an annoyance.
I asked them not to clean and lube the chain, I had just done it, but they did anyway. When I picked up the bike, chain lube was spattering the rear wheel and up onto the white paint. Really?? For what they charge, they had plenty of time to at least give me a bike that was in the same state of cleanliness as when I dropped it off. I also had some questions about the quick shifter, and they knew less about it than I do, so what do I need them for? Sorry for the rant.
Please keep us posted on your progress. I have some cabling from previously using ducatidiag on a MotoGuzzi 1200 sport a few years back. Maybe I have some hope of using those.

P.S. I downloaded the software, unzipped, and it does start up (not hooked to the bike).
Have you emailed the software developer for a licence ( JPDiag :: Index ). You won't believe me but I am still waiting for mine to clear customs, been over a month with them now. Worst thing is customs is only a few km's from me but when I went knocking on the door they said i must wait for it to arrive at my local post office... man african time is such a blessing, futile fcuks.
I did get the license and still no luck. It worked like a charm on my monster but the software doesnt seem to be compatible this time around.
the developer will be happy with your file, access the forum link i sent you in the previous msg, the solution is in that forum. Monster 797, 1200 and SS all use the continental M3D ride by wire ECU. M3C is not ride by wire and is used on the scramblers etc..
I appreciate the help but i am missing the solution. It may be because i do not speak french. I am using the latest melcodiag software the jpdiag site and elm 327 v1.5.
