need some advise - just spent saturday fitting up the basic termis so that I can get the bike into the dealer for its first service and let them check alls ok with the set-up...only prob is is that the bike will not turn over.....reset to uk.....reset the electronic code......still no joy.

Any of you guys had similar prob - I'm wondering if I've dislodged something though I can't see anything obvious.......

Sounds like its not reading the key.... Is it turning over..... Or is it dead..... You can try a system reset and try program the key..... Daft one but make sure the kill switch is off !!...... If none of above....Pass

technology and Italians ... doesnt mix ....

I'm posting on a ZX81 ......

thanks for the reply - engine is not turning over and no voltage drop so suggesting an imobilised condition. I had altready had same thoughts as you and checked all of these inc the electronic reset - in addition have check for the obvious dislodged connectors side stand etc ....given up now - bike is being picked up by the dealer Wed - they suspect dicky ECU.

Good thing is at least I am starting to feel like a real ducati owner ha!ha!
