Not sure about one pot but since selling my 03 999S and buying the 05 model, it consistently stalls at every set of traffic lights, well seemingly every set and often feels as if it occassionally is running on the one cyclinder. I think with just 300 odd miles on the clock , I dont remember my last 999 as having a similar problem I bought me self one of thoe modified oil cooler panels that covers the gaping hole in the original which leaves the front cyl head and plug/coil assembly unnecessarily exposed to the elements

But there's plenty of V-twin bikes around, Ducati and otherwise, which have no vee-piece in front of the engine anyway, and they seem to run all right (although I have heard of occasional problems with Suzuki SV650's).

JPM... Let us know if they have replaced both coil caps with the new 05 ones.... Or just replaced the faulty one with the same make !!

Ducati dont list 03/4 coils anymore only 05 (which they fit to mine)

These are obviously modified but no sighn of a recall
