Misfire and hopefully a solution

Did a 500 mile journey last Thursday. Beautiful day for biking but there was a cloud on the horizon!

Bike was both hunting and missing a beat at approx 4000 to 5000 revs. Worse, it completely cut out under hard acceleration and kicking, spluttering and backfiring.

Back to Ducati Leeds who were very good and have analysed the problem as a faulty fuel pump. Pump hopefully winging its way from Bologna now.

Anyone else experienced this?

The interesting thing about it is, that there have been a number of reports of poor fuelling in the 4000-5000 reg range yet some have said they don't recognise this and others have been really disillusioned by it. Just wondering if there is an explanation if others have had fuel pump problems which could easily be thought to be mapping problems?
