Just a "Heads Up" as our cousins over the pond might say. After a rattly few rides (which I fretted over, but did nothing except double check the oil) the alternator seems to have dissembled itself and jammed the engine.
I'm not sure if this is a common fault, but I've only done 11,000 miles in 2 1/2 years.
Am waiting for the quote for repairs with quaking knees, but hope for an ex gratia from ducati - what are my chances?
Cheers, Michael.
