There will be no baffling or the like as part of a restrictor kit so that is not the cause of the problem. Even restricted bikes will pull 85+

I've thought about this more and still think there is either a fueling issue (running lean) or perhaps even the ECU has thrown it's hand in. I realy think you should get it to a dealer who can do some diagnostics on it, something is definitely not right if it's running that badly.

Are you sure it's not the brakes sticking on?

I'd go with the fuel mix but it sounds like your throttle's not right either.
As jmo says when it's lean it should rev lower and be slightly quicker on acceleration. My fuel settings were tweeked in Kuwait for the hot weather and then reset for the cold by the Ducati dealer there. Even when it's lean the bike should still hit at least 120mph as mine did.
Get it into the dealer quick for a diagnostic and watch your revs over the first 1,000 miles if it's new.
Did you get the owner manual with the bike as this gives you the run in recommendations. 5500-6000rpm for the first 1,000miles.
Hope this helps.
Tam.

Not been over 6000 rpm at all.
Going into the dealer but not until May 16th earliest date free.
Thank you for all the replies but it being my first bike I had no idea there was anything wrong.

S'wot's we're here for.

Would be nice if you could let us all know what the problem was once it is fixed

a) because someone else out here in forum-land might need to know

and

b) because we are all desparate to know now!!

Hi, sounds like a bundle of laughs

just a recommendation - take it to Italsport in Bury, very helpful and not a bad ride out from Wigan.

Might you be accidentally resting your foot on the back brake as you are riding?

27-04-2006, 03:35 PM

No not on the brake at all.
I will let you know what the proplem was and final outcome.

Thanks.

Does the ecu have some kind of 'safe' mode,a sort of 'get you home coz there's a problem' default? I could be talking rubbish-it has happened before! No,really-it has.

Thanks for all the replies and help.

The bike has been over to Ducati Leeds today.
They were very helpful and seem to have found the problems.
I havn't ridden the bike yet but it sounds completely different now.

One plug was failing making the bike run on one cylinder, the extra fuel not being used was burning in the exhausts causing them to glow when heated.
Two small black relays were also braking down although I don't know what they did.
Hope to ride the bike in the next few days so I will be able to tell if it's OK then.
Fingers crossed.

Lets hope its sorted for you now. Are you going to the MAD Weekender? See you there, if you are, on a sorted monster.

Have the plugs out, if their white its lean and if its black its rich and if golden brown/dark grey you can rule mixture settings out.
