v.43 is compatible with all bikes. I don't know why A&S is confused.
Wrong!!!
I took both my bikes in for the FW update. My Experia and my 2020 SS9-
Experia now has the V.43.
Here is what I have in writing from A&S (long story, but they had a cable to do the FW updates after all):
2020 Energica Esse Esse 9- (smaller battery only in year 2020 models):
"Firmware Update V.43:
Description: Customer would like us to attempt to update the firmware to Version 43.
"Resolution: Attempted software update previous SW version was .34, upgrade available was up to .42.
"Performed software update to 42 and checked to see if 43 would become available. .43 is NOT applicable for this year. Confirmed via searching available technical bulletins linked to Vin." Tech 99 @ A&S @ Roseville, CA
I have no idea what the .42 does that the .34 did not, other than show the version number of "42" in the "About" screen.
I had to rush back to Reno and leave the bike there in Auburn, so I can check it better next time. But that bike did NOT have any bugs, unlike my Experia before the update,
