dead bike!

yesterday turned the key on my 2 week old MTS1000 and big fat nothing - little orange light on for a bit, headlight no starter then immobiliser won't switch off - wiggle wires etc etc wait and a bit of on/off and headscratching - and then! back to normal - except i ride home that evening and all of a sudden it all goes blank - bike keeps going though! Hmmmmm round the block a few times and it's back. so a look around in the evening and all wires look OK. important meeting next day - fingers crossed - so all OK then park the bike and instruments freeze - !!!!!!! etc got to go to the meeting come out later still frozen after much jiggling/button pushing - went away for lunch came back and did the same routine and came back Grrrrrrrrr! it goes back to the dealer tomorrow! just wanted to vent some frustration

Sounds like you got a free Gremlin with your deal ;)
I thought they were exclusive to 20th centruy ducatis :rolleyes:

Actually, it sounds like it could be a loose earth from the instrument console.

apparently a well known problem requiring new instruments - still a great bike, though i miss my 748 too.

My Multi is in for new instruments under warranty today.

had mine done last week at daytona - central london - at the same time had the first service done, now to get my termi's fitted : ) hopefully the new instruments will sort the gremlins as the bike is fantastic....fuel gauge is a bit of a laugh though...hope to catch up wth you sometime stevo
