Absolutely, better safe than sorry, it is fairly obvious then that the problems occur for you and previous owner with this (illegal) exhaust, don't take a genius to figure that one out, sell it on Ebay. As you know I love old British bikes, but tour on them oh no! they need a pit crew, I keep others to actually ride and play with the Brits. I don't know how much you know about engines but your standard engine is already highly 'stressed' take it beyond those parameters and you introduce increased unreliability for what might be modest gains in power. A perfect example were the qualifying engines used in formula 1, they would develop huge power but only lasted 5 laps, if that, the engine was then de-tuned to last a race (just). A touring engine would have lower compression, softer cams and run richer than it's racing counterpart, it would do 100,000 miles the racer 200. A lot of people don't realise that racing bikes are built to last say 50 miles before needing rebuilding, in the 70's we had to rebuild TZ cranks after 30 racing miles, they were destroyed. Run that machine on standard parts and settings, that is what it was designed for.

I met the mechanic last Thursday and the had the cutting out when it was warm and blipping the throttle. he out the standard map on and the fault has gone. so saying they got to put the race map on next. they don't seem to rush ducati for you got to be right for June as it my only bike and not missing out on my Italy trip

loads of issues as to who should fix it as I got it from ducati reading and its now in ducati Manchester. the termi exhaust is race only and comes with the map on a download stick when new. but funny that reading said they didn't get one in the box and had to down load it off the internet. I don't think they did and just put a map on it that they had spare
-
no still in ducati. they have put the standard map back on and checking its not cutting out when warm now. then they will put the race map back on to suit the exhaust. hope to get back this week!!!!!
