There don’t seem to be any of those around here - hence the dealer choice. Mind you , I am even thinking of going to P&H!
As you say the good weather has arrived and all bikes are getting serviced / sorted/ mended …

Already on the Ducati forum thx

Just been picked up and taken to ProTwins.
They think it is just the plugs - but that does involve taking off the side air filter pods, the side of the tank, the fuel filer over, the lower instrument panel, the upper instrument panel , then the tank cover.
Apparently you can then just lift the tank - as long as it is not full of fuel. But mine is!
However, if it is not the plugs then it might be the MAP sensors - but that should throw something up on the dash, it hasn't.
Whilst I really should have done it myself, it did look like there were an awful lot of bolts that could be lost, and passing through Ducati strength mounting, and spaces of small Italian hands ... :-(
