Hi All,

My 2007 1098 has been a phenomenal motorcycle thus far.  I have had
stalling issues however.  The first time it was addressed by the dealer
through a ECU adjustment.  Unfortunately this made it worse.

Now the dealership says the problem has been caused by mis-timing.  They
have adjusted the belts and timing, but they say Ducati NA will not
cover it under the warranty.  I find it hard to believe that a
mal-adjusted timing is not a warranty item, especially since the bike
stalled from when new.  I have about 3,000 miles in under 1 year of
ownership.  Does anybody have similar experiences or suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt
