Return it and get something not ducati?


Are there any broken wires? Positive wires that are being grounded? Something is sucking power somewhere

I already have others. This is my red-headed step-child. She's the one I love to hate. We've tried selling, and no offer is ever good enough for my husband so I won't sell it.

I've traced, wiring is clean. Unfortunately.

I first thought rectifier, this model requires more than just a parts swap with that, so I was hoping someone had more ideas.

Boo.

Have you pulled all the grounds and given them a once over with a dremel/wire brush? Can have some miraculous effects at times

That was my first thought too.

If the wiring is good, then look at RR or stator. 99% chance it is one of the two.
