Came to start the bike this morning and found that the fuel pump was not priming and I had the immo EOBD fault code. Fortunately I had moved the coil/injector/pump relay to the top of the battery box. The relay was hot and was not latching on ignition on. So, following my own advice I fitted a brand new relay (from my spares supply). Ignition on, fuel pump primes, bike starts and EOBD light clears.

I have a 749, have this info on standby, it comes up fairly regularly for the 749/999 bikes as the relays positioning is problematic for it’s longevity. If you’re stranded the headlight relay is the same.
Relay is mounted behind the battery box in a most ridiculous location. You may be lucky that a previous owner has relocated it to a much more sensible position at the front upper area of the battery box (where Ducati have thoughtfully already provided a nice square rubber locating grommet, almost as though that is where the relay ought to be!)
Thanks for that- have just bought the relays from the ebay above .. Dont understand the johnnys message Is the bigger one better at taking more voltage ??
