Hi,
Hello to everyone. I'm new to the forum and to Ducati's so I was hoping to pick some of your brains?!
I bought a 2009 1198s last yr in the winter and cleaned it up ready for this season (i'm from the UK). After it was clean it went to Ducati for a TPS reset as it wont idle until 50 degrees c and the throttle needs to be cracked to start. The bike is fitted with the termi slip-ons, dp air filter and ecu. It was running extremely rich so the CO was also set. I stored it over winter.
This yr it seems to be running rich again (smells very rich), still wont idle at low temp and requires throttle to be cracked open. It's also and absolute dog below 5k rpm when holding constant throttle and is getting 50 - 60 miles before the fuel light comes on when it takes around 9 litres to fill up. I'm not hanging around when riding but also am not killing the bike. i prob spend most time between 5-8k rpm.
When in ducati they thought the ecu may have been 'flashed'. the bike came with the original ecu in a box though.
Any advice as to if this is normal or what to do would be appreciated. I've read up on various forums and there is lots of different opinions. Some people have mentioned a guy on here who is called Chris, i think who seems to be a bit of a guru? Come anyone point me in his direction?
I'm based in the Northwest, UK. Don't really want to put a power commander on as the insurance is then ridiculous.
Thanks!
Ben
