I must admit that this being an Italian bike I was disappointed that it didn't come with a fitted espresso machine which I now have to fit myself.
Sorry... PMR radios are low powered UHF transceivers used licence free in the UK on 446mhz frequency... We use em for bike to bike comms. Sometimes sticking them under the seat stifles the signal, hence the reason for the externally mounted antenna behind the number plate
I was told they cancel after 500metres. They do, I tested them, but I was travelling under 30mph for the test, can't say what happens above 30, as you say, maybe inhibited.
My MS was back at the dealership yesterday to have some unresolved things sorted, and one of them was a software update to fix the trip meter resetting problem. This seemed to have worked as it didn't reset when / after powering down. However, I didn't check whether it reset when the riding mode is changed....I suspect this problem remains because my trips were back to zero after I played around with riding modes....so we may only have half a fix. I'll check again tomorrow
I like this definition of all sort of bugs that they just didn't bother to test until the end. I am wondering what's the cost impact to Ducati's business when they will need eventually to fix all the bugs within the warranty period. Sorry just blowing some steam off since my faulty fuel indicator pissed me off again today :Shifty:
Well, trip meter resetting problem initially seemed to have resolved with the software update. However, I've since found that the software 'fix' seems to work only if the bike is keyed-off for a short time but not for a longer period of even 30 minutes (I don't know what the time cut-off is) and that the trip meters still reset after that period of time (whatever it is). Back to the drawing board, Ducati! p.s. I couldn't replicate the problem of trip meters resetting when changing riding mode - this does not appear to be a problem for me.
what with this and the other fuel sender thread, it makes me really wonder if Ducati are heading back to the days of 'unreliable Italian electrics'. Seems some of the quality products they were renowned for, ok the finish could be a bit poor but the components themselves always top end, is falling away dramatically over the last 5 years
I am tempted to agree with you, but wonder who does their software for them - maybe outsourced (as most things in this country seem to be) so, although Ducati should still be responsible for testing and QA generally, it might be some other bunch of buggers buggering up the coding!!
