Instead of Hilltop you might want to try Chris a Steedman at CJS racing. That’s where my shilling is going.

Few years ago I bought a Multistrada 1200S when they first came out. The fuelling was shocking. Ducati fitted a Race ECU to try and improve things. Bristol Ducati said go and see Chris so I did. The result was a ‘bricked’ ECU. Was lucky I still had the original ECU and Chris mapped it. It was better, but not like the bikes I’ve done at Hilltop....though I’ll add that the Multistrada might not have been improved massively by Geoff either. Of course if you want power then a race tune at CJS is probably your best option, but I’d rather have the crap fuelling low down sorted as a priority and whatever Geoff does seems to pretty much eliminate the issues - a bonus being that the bikes I’ve had done seem to fly afterwards too!
The other issue was that the mapping he did only worked in one of the ‘modes’, I chose Race mode from memory and the crap fuelling was exactly the same in all the other modes. Geoff’s program seems to fix the fuelling in all of the modes on bikes I’ve had done there. I fully accept that Chris’s programming may have moved on in the years since though but worth asking the question and I’ll add that he’s a nice guy.
As an edit: My Tuono low down fuelling hasn’t responded to Geoff’s tune like the other bikes. It’s probably 75% better in town but not perfect. I chatted to Geoff about this and the response was that what’s basically a race bike engine won’t be like a scooter round town. I ride around the issue with that bike a bit - the Multistrada might have been in a similar camp.
