Italia (Steve) stepped up to the plate and got me in the workshop at very short notice. He found that the ECU was not giving a spark on the front cylinder, which actually gave the misinformation on the error diagnostics that the "horiz coil short to earth".
Unfortunately Ducati UK do not have any ECUs in so heaven knows when that would come in. I opted to have the original std ECU refitted which Steve was happy to do, and I have arranged to have a Power Commander III fitted next Friday. Good deal on that I reckon, with an option to have a custom map done on the dyno for £88 extra.
As it stands, by bike is back on the road and running well, with the Asymetric Termi and std ECU, tweaked to give fairly good readings for the can. Just not going to spank it until I have the PC on.
Big thanks to Italia for their flexibility in getting me back on the road, and also a big thanks to Nelly for taking time to chat to me about PCs, ECUs etc. If it's any consolation Nelly, my mate with the 916 is definately going to have it fettled by you, so you can look forward to a day out (or 2) down to Wiltshire to fetch it.
