this morning the light on the dash came on and stayed on
switched ignition off/on still on .seems to be running ok to work only 7 miles.
question is why?
any harm done?
how to rectify?

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!

all seems to be running ok but i took it very steady just in case.

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
