If its staying on best bet is to get to a dealer and have plugged in to see whats wrong.

I've also got a feeling you can hold a button combination down an get a diagnostic error code on the display. I've got a doc with the error codes in but thats at home and Im in the office at the moment.

Could be anything or nothing, was/is it running OK?

I got the ECU light after picking it up from JHP, didn't worry about it, next time it went back in they checked and it was the clutch switch??? apparently there's a switch to tell the ECU when you disengage the drive train, as I had switched to a brembo clutch master cylinder I got the error, simple!

The clutch switch thing is quite common it occurs when you are first pulling away or slowing down to lights etc and light comes on briefly, I had it on mine and was told to adjust the micro switch, I left it till it was serviced earlier this week and hey presto, no light coming on. I'd seen a few posts on here about it where the dealers had told them "they all do that" . According to Ducati Leeds its a well documented fault which Ducati UK can advise dealers on fixing. makes you wonder how good a dealer is if they can't even phone DUK and ask about it.

What?? you liked it so much you want it to come on? :)

It'll wait till you're 100 miles from home on a cold wet night before it does it again
