lmao, NOLA! I knew you couldn't stay away from this place or a Ducati! Welcome back. At least you know the history of that 1199.

Well goodbye and welcome back. Hope you've been enjoying the adventure with the H2. Funny how your redheaded mistress enticed you back.

Wow, lucky you. I wish I could have bought back my 1199 just b/c I knew the history of it and how much I pampered that bike. But I'll be an early adopter of the next sexy beast Ducati comes out with their superbike.

Thank you !...Glad to be back

Dont feel so bad, I had to unblock you to read this
Thanks. I am glad to have her back again. Damm that thing vibrates more than I remember
@cmh210
True, it was mine first. I know everything done to it. Only missed 1,700 miles.
@Twistedracer
Yeah, redhead demon more accurate
@southeastduc
Thanks. I am glad I know the vast majority of the history on this one

On a side note....
Did you guys know that Ducati is now offering an extended warranty thru Ducati ? No more third party vendor warranties. When I bought mine back the dealer told me about it. I was the first one to buy one.
3 years of additional factory coverage on everything except wearable items.

That's new to me. So we can buy extended warranties on used bikes now?

Yeah that's what I was told by my dealer also. Don't think you can buy one after warranty is expired.
Here is a nice learning experience for everyone, including me.
So when I bought the bike back the gentleman I sold it to told me that once he started riding it, it would randomly stall and did it about three times within 1,000 miles. He chose to have the dealership disconnect the RapidBike module as he thought that was the problem. (When he told me about it I rolled my eyes and told him about the "Italian charm" that Ducati's have with randomly stalling)
I rode it for a bit and it had no problems, but damm it was slow. It just didnt seem to have any pep to it, even over 8,000. I assumed it was just because it was apples to oranges to my H2.
So I decide to reconnect it. I spoke to the dealer and they told me it was disconnected fully but the harness was still in place. I knew this was at least partially accurate as I could see the module had the big connector still on it.
Yeah...Standby for this revelation....
I take the fairings off, start looking at the O2 connector wiring, in the ECU bay, and it looks strangely connected. I look all over for the disconnected plugs for the RapidBike and cant find them. I could swear the O2 sensor wiring is still in place. I disconnect everything in the ECU bay and set it all free and look at the TPS plugs and obviously the RapidBike wires are off. I go back to the other side and look at the Crankshaft sensor wires and im positive they are connected to RapidBike, cause its the same plastic wire tie configuration as when it was installed. I look at the battery and its still got the RapidBike power to it.
So.....I realize the dealership didnt disconnect anything but the TPS wire. I am mystified as to how the bike is even running with the O2 and crank sensors still connected to RapidBike and out of the loop of the ECU !
So I reconnect the TPS wires, rewire the ECU bay, put it all back together and say the prayer we all do when we reassemble a bunch of stuff, and fire it up. Starts up really good and hard idle that settles down after a bit. I know the RapidBike is managing the engine now.
Take it for a ride and its like a raped ape, pulls VERY hard.
Interesting experience. Even more interesting that the bike will run with half of the RapidBike disconnected.

Hello NOLA
When I first read your opening post here, I was ready to write just to say farewell and best wishes on a totally new ride! Then, after reading more, I see it was a short lived departure and that you chose to remain in the Ducati Family a bit longer!
Sincere congrats on everything you have sold & acquired for yourself NOLA.
May you enjoy all these toys and remain safe while riding whatever bike you choose to let rip out there man! All the best.

I have 193 rwhp on my 13. I talked with a shop tuner (EDR) and he said it's not hard to get 20 hp with air filter, exhaust, and tune.

I'm an EDR fan, but it's pretty well known that they have a VERY generous dyno.
