Chris, keep your fingers crossed, good things happen. I went for a short run at the weekend and the sensor error has disappeared! Not sure why but my fingers, legs and eyes will be crossed hoping it doesn't reappear.
Yes, just got a call from the dealer, they got some time to look at it today (after a bit of nagging from me) The main DSS fault is a split in the wire to the rear shock, apparently you can't repair/solder this as it changes the resistance on the Cambus system. P&H are waiting to confirm Ducati will replace the whole unit (So glad I bought the extended warranty). Fuel sender is faulty part, needs replacing (Odd it went at the same time as the other fault though) Heading down tomorrow to find out if the spare might arrive in time!
Replacement Shock on order (£2,500!), will find out on Tuesday if the part is in stock and expected delivery time before I investigate option 2 (trade in for an unregistered DVT). Tried the 1260 but can't see it being worth the cost to change. Also tried an Enduro, which was pretty nice. Can't understand why they don't just fit that seat to the 1260, so much more comfortable.
Chris, I saw an update on Multistrada.net, something about a defective cable, but did you finally get this issue sorted-out? Hopefully the answer is yes and you won't need to resort to the Pilot Paul 'BMW-option', for the forthcoming run-out Regards TonyN
The part is en-route from Ducati and should arrive for fitting tomorrow (Fingers crossed, touch wood etc)
Well the part arrived in time and I've arranged to have it fitted.... BUT Ducati have turned down the warranty claim! They said it's down to wear, not a manufacturing fault. The P&H service manager is in the IOM, so I'm stuffed unless I pay for it myself now. As I need the bike I'm going ahead with the repair, pay for it and I'll argue the toss when I get back.
That's outrageous .. my current Ducati may well be my last one if this is how they treat a loyal, repeat customer.
They are saying it was pinched by the seat. Considering P&H had just serviced the bike on the 16th April and then I only rode it 3 times and I didn't remove the seat again I think they may need to provide some better answers... As a minimum you think they might have just tried taping it up first!
The routing of that cable doesn't look right. Mine disappears down underneath the canister next to the frame.
Haven't you got the Touratwat seat on your bike Chris ? I wonder if that's got anything to do with it ? I've just checked mine and as al_b says above the routing doesn't look right. Standard seat on my bike.
If it was pinched by the seat, that’s not wear and tear, that’s a routing issue. It’s not designed to be pinched by the seat so by definition, that’s not wear and tear
Just went out and take picture of mine. All standard, nothing messed with, suspension etc never been out.
Just re looked at yours and yes that big hose/wire over the top isn’t there. It’s like it’s been put on back to front. Have you had the shock out or any work on it?
