This question of course only relates to ringing Ducati dealers so as to qualify for Ruths guidelines.

But if the line's engaged, how d'you now it's not the wrong number??

Hmmm, velly intellesting
Zerre are two pozzibilities here, eizer you're bike has developed a metaphysical disturbance in ze logic circuits causing a temporal distortion to your olfactory communication interface manifesting itself as a vocal stutter or "cough" when you twist your right wrist
or
Zer is a conditional response trigger reacting in your digestive processing whilst undergoing lower frequency mastication rates causing an abnormally hypotensive reflux towards your upper cardio-pulmonary void resulting in a high rate of turn in your right upper body extending to the fingers. Hence you're opening the throttle too quickly for the fuel injection to respond fast enough to match the increased air flowing to the cylinders. and causing a misfire.

Hope this helps resolve all your problems.

Next!

Because they haven't got a scotoiler!

Its a very rarely known fact that the fitting of a scotoiler automatically sets the suspension correctly regardless of which bike, your weight, riding style or road conditions! Scotoiler themselves have been aware of this fact for many years but dare not publicise the fact for fear of reprisals from suspension tuners the world over. Last year, when a famous scandinavian gentleman discovered the secret to Scotoilers success, there ensued a tremendous cloak and dagger legal battle surpassed in it's ferocity only by the invasion of Iraq. Only now has the dust begun to settle on this best forgotten episode in motorcycle technological breakthroughs!

Although it's very questionable, I am attempting to prove I am not a nerd. Oh Ok I am a nerd so will answer sensibly in future.

A question which is still unanswered even by Ducati dealer (including Ducati UK)
error 2.1 - Pressure Sensor short circuit to power supply

Exactly what the xxxx does that mean?

('spose you could ask the same question of quite a few other Ducati error descriptions)

Oh alright then...

... as long as you do abide by the rules and expect me to provide my judge input on the basis of 'it sounds plausible' rather than 'right answer'.

Oh, and Michael isn't what I'd call a nerd. Doesn't do much fiddling himself these days (I reckon the project bike that's not moved from the back of the garage for some years will have to wait for him to retire). Neil at Sigma's only a mile away after all....
