[Ducati] 916 Stock Map

[Richard Budd]

I thought that Australia was a continent, and fairly dry as well.
BTW, Brad Black makes his living working on Ducatis. So, he probably knows what he's talking about.

I was going to suggest that your soggy little island gives you plenty of time to tinker with bikes while we in California are too busy riding, but that would be condesending.  Moonbeam

my apologies to all those who are feeling condescended. i'm sure you'll all survive.

the bit about the idle mixture was the short version of what i get told a lot when i reply to questions i get at work. maybe your dealer or workshop of choice has a 4 gas gas analyser as we do, but many don't, and finding a car or other workshop that 1/ does and 2/ will let you use it to play with a bike seems to end up (rather understandibly) in the "too hard" basket for many. which was my point. just stating some reality. it's not my bike or a bike we work on, so i really can't do anything more than advise from the other side of the world can i. if you don't like my advice then simply ignore it.

and while i don't know it all, i know a lot about this specific subject. which is why i posted. kind of seems the whole point of a list like this to me. and being called condescending isn't so bad. i forget what rich called me a couple of years ago. arrogant asshole or something like that.
