I may have to temporarilly suspend my honorary ambassadorship of all things Ducati after a 'blip' in the perfect reliability of my Ducati. Decided to ride to Bridlington today as had nothing to do, and just as I entered the town the bike just died, screen dead, engine dead, everything dead. Fortunately I was next to a Costa coffee with some outside seating so set up camp there.
I did some rudimentary prodding and took off the fairing side to get near the battery and fuses, trying to appear that I looked like I knew what I was doing.
After approximately 5 minutes I called it quits and ordered a coffee and almond slice and called the professionals.
Looks like a relay has fried itself, question I need to work out is why. All fuses fine, couldnt get a spare relay to try. Plan of action is to replace the relay, and see what happens (at least if it starts I can get it to a dealer to look at).
AA were great, although needed a relay to another van half way to get me back home.
Luckily I have no planned rides, so after a quick clean I can take my time in getting it sorted. All things considered quite an enjoyable day, as had a very nice chinwag with both AA patrolmen. Bike has 29K on it, and this is the first blip after nearly 5 years, which I think I can forgive.
RBW.
