[DAVID evans]

Another Ducati not fit for purpose,why should you have to buy a Power Commander to get it to run correctly?

really cold blooded untill I installed a jet kit, I usually got over 40 MPG,
50 crusing on the freeway. I assume yours is fuel injected as it is an 05,
they have been setup lean to pass EPA, so I suspect that after you get some
more miles on it a Power Commander installation would make you a lot
happier. Also, if you ride a lot in The City or Marin county lowering the
gear ratio by installing a 1 tooth smaller front sprocket is probably a good
plan. Happy trails, Moonbeam
