[Ducati] ST4S wiring harness

[Paul Pellow]

I recently purchased a 2004 ST4S with 1850 miles on it, I've put another 1500 since buying it. It's has developed a problem with the wiring harness which in turn toasted the ignition module. 

Looks like a $4,000.00 repair....not impressed and Ducati has bailed completely on any kind of compensation...no breaks....pretty harsh given the mileage and mint condition. Has anyone heard or experienced this problem or is this what I'm going to have to get used to owning a Ducati? 

Thought I'd buy my dream machine, had no idea this kind of repair would be coming this early in the game. I'd really appreciate hearing from some long time Ducati owners to give me the straight goods a to whether this is normal Ducati stuff.
