Is this normal, supplying dealer over filled with oil, crappy fuel or anything more sinister ?
Oh .... belts not changed for 28 months, only 1000 miles since last set, dealer ( not Ducati ) said every 5 years ?

I had the same problem with my Evo. After spending £700 on getting the starter sprang clutch replaced on dealer advice, the problem was still there. Further investigation revealed the cam position sensor was playing silly buggers. Relatively cheap at £180 if memory serves. I'm still raging about the starter clutch a year later.
