Anito ,

its just that we´ve had the 999 a while now and both had a host of problems eg-
where do i start-
18 months old and-
two new batteries
7 new ti end cans
one new rear sub frame
two new tacho assy
three new spark plug-coils
three sets of spark plugs on,e plug was missing the electrode
and 5 different wiring problems concluding with a short curcuit behind the battery box blowing the 20amp fuse
one main coolant hose , one small coolant pipe
one new front brake pump
the screw thread "missing" on the rear brake lever pivot
one split drive chain and a new generator housing a new rear sprocket and carrier and bearings
one U\S ducati quickshifter
one snapped magniesium mirror stay
(from an earlyer post)
nobody wants to have a bike with problems, but when it all works its a very good bike , think of it as just teething problems
but i do care about it
