| Possibly - they may have fitted aftermarket cans and been given a chip at the same time.
The problem is that the 916/996/998 cans also fit the 748, and the fuel chips from the 916 and 996 also fit and look identical!
This is probably the easiest/quickest thing to check as you can do it yourself - check the engine management unit (the big metal block with the large connector on it) under the seat. Peel back the "DO NOT REMOVE" sticker and remove the rubber bung from the hole. You should see the fuel chip directly underneath. Note down any numbers on it (if it's an aftermarket chip it may well say exactly what it is, eg "916-45mm") and then check these with the Ducati spares catalogue to see which chip it is:

Other than that it may be a faulty TPS (throttle position sensor) which will need time at a dealer to be tested and fixed.
