[Ducati] 900SS Starter Solenoid triger Voltage

I rolled my  78K mile 94 900SS out of the garage, turned on the ignition she 
cranked a few times and then proceeded to burn out her starter 
solenoid....:-(  I can still start the bike by jumping the Solenoid or push 
starting it.

After a little investigation...

The question:
The trigger voltage at the two wire plug that goes to the starter solenoid 
puts out around 10.34 Vdc when the starter button is pushed while the 
battery reads 13.23Vdc with the bike not running. ( Hawker Odyssey battery)

The trigger voltage on my 97 748 reads 11.54 Vdc when the batt is holding 
11.98Vdc.

I did swap the solenoids between bikes and the 900's is still dead but is 
10.34 Vdc and acceptable voltage trigger level on the 900or should I start 
cleaning connectors all around or keep looking?

Thanks,
