Ah Yes Mr Gary T thats just what is happenning! So ecu is getting dodgy messages from a confused temp sensor.
Many Thanks everyone for the advice.
According to the Ducati Spares description this part is a
'water temperature sensor' that must be why its confused as it has'nt rained for a while and has no water to operate in!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

cheers all
