Reassuringly Expensive!

Well, it is a standing joke that Ducatis spend more time in the garage rather than on the road and so true to form that is where mine is at present! It is fairly rare though and really both this one and its predecessor have been very reliable. As it is I'm maximizing the efficiency by getting the annual service and MOT done as well as getting a fuelling problem sorted out.
Hopefully should get it back on Saturday so will report on progress then.



Must say I'm quite looking forward to it already. As well as removing the tendency for teh bike to go as fast or slow as it wants to regardless of what I'm doing with the throttle I'm hoping they might have been able to do something about a bit of a flat spot between 4.5 and 5.5 thousand revs. I know I could probably sort it with a Power Commander but don't wish to go down that route as I suspect S4R will be swapped for one of another colour soon and so I would have wasted the set up costs. Oh well, fingers crossed for success on Saturday!
