[Ducati] monster mileage & warm-

Mon Jun 4 08:47:28 EDT 2007

And it isn't just Ducati that sets their junk up too lean.  Each of the guys I ride with who owns Japanese hardware has installed a Power Commander on his junk, too!  That may not be a representative sample, as all of these guys ride their stuff pretty hard, but I'll wager that a poll of owners would find that most modern sportbike owners would buy a Power Commander.

Ducati has a lot of unique issues, but this ain't one of 'em.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by correctly but the stock setup tends
to be too lean for max preformance, at least it has been for both of my
Ducati's and indeed for any bike I own made after the 80's.
