RE: My new/loaner Bike and some updates
Schumacher - no need forkidnap or kill. Just have to tie him up long enough to take all his "free" bikes. Besides, if it's free it's not stealing. Wonder what else he has in the garage he's not telling us about

RE: My new/loaner Bike and some updates
It sounds like a carb problem to me also.... I'd get some carb cleaner get it cranked again and start spraying it... see if it changes any of the symptoms....
Personally I had friends try seafoam... they all hated it.... but to each his own I guess....
I'm sure taking the carbs off and doing it the right way would be a much better approach... but spraying with carb cleaner would at least maybe point you in the right direction...

Seafoams always worked great for me. cleared up my bike pretty well. saved my crappy car from being scrap metal. its a 93 ford escort wagon, it shuddered and barely ran, now it actually has some power.

Uh Oh, you didn't just bring up the topic of a NON-Harley on this board, did you?! 
Seriously, though, I wish I could stumble onto a deal like that. I'd bet there is probably a Ducati forum somewhere where you could get some good info/advice on it - though I see you've scoured the web already.
I love having 2 bikes. Good to have some variety - and I occasionally need a loaner for my brother. Wish I coulda got a FREE one! Hope you get it up and going.
