Hi Guys Just Got My First Ducati And Changed It A Bit

  1. Could it be disconnected but not properly off??

  2. If you're lucky, Arquebus will be along and he'll give you sage advice.

    I reckon you need to be systematic and check things in turn. Running rich is a fuelling thing and not a spark thing - so don't be seduced into playing with plugs, apart from cleaning them. (but do check that you have the right ones!)

    Then - is the fast idle control working properly (it's like a choke on a carb - has a butterfly in the inlet tract? And are your sensors all connected properly and working?

    Good luck!

  3. Arquebus is very knowledgeable on the SS but is more of a carby man

  4. Have you still got the Ambient air temp sensor still there and connected, usually sits in behind the H/Light area inside the front faring. If not it will revert to thinking it is as cold as it gets and richen the mixture to compensate. (BTW it isn't a choke, it's a fast idle to prevent cold stall.)

  6. I do still have it connected but that was my thoughts that as I've hidden all the wires behind the head light and am thinking could I of damaged it, any ideas on it's value max and min. I take it it's only the air temp that alters the fueling?

  7. Sorry, I have no technical knowledge at all about this, you need to find a W/Shop manual or someone in the know.
