I have checked the routing of the vent pipe and it is not pinched or kinked anywhere.
I am sure that Pro Twins will get to the bottom of the problem. They have already spoken to Ducati UK about it who have said that it is not a problem that they have come across before. ProTwins will have my bike until the issue is resolved and as I have no trips planned they can take their time and be certain it is fixed before giving it back to me. I would like to think that with the bike being only 4 months old that this will be sorted out under warranty.
I'll let you know the diagnosis.

Mine does hiss in summer more than anything. But I dont use as much as yourself so cannot really comment. Never had a fountain mind only in the pond. Hope Pro Twins sort it out soon.
