Hi, I have already posted a question a few days ago on the forum. However, I did not come on here and introduce myself.

I have always had four strokes (well since the nineties) mainly jap bikes with a few brits thrown in and mainly sports bikes although have diversified a little with enduro and big nakeds!

Anyway the Ducati S4 is great (2001 model), its like how I used to enjoy riding a bike way back in the eighties.

With it being my first ducati I don't know a lot about them. It seems very laboured and very vibrating going slow in 2nd gear almost bone shakingingly so, until the revs get up. Its more than likely my riding style or are they all like that.

It has high twin Sils (marked as Termignonis) and is very loud, but maybe the bike has not been chipped/mapped correctly, any ideas?
