Oalvarez, the beauty of the internet is you're free to leave. There is a lounge section, and thread bombing reposts is a great way to kill it. You're obviously guilty of OT commenting as well here in this very thread.![]()
It's comments like yours that make this portal what it is.
This thread was over a long time ago, don't try and pin its demise on me.
If there was proper moderation here the Lounge section is where many off topic, non-1199 related threads would be moved to. Put garbage in, get garbage out.

You're right, how many times have I helped another member or contributed something for others. I don't NEED to list them, give me ....... break. On top of your smug comment, I've still offered help in every one of your threads. Due to the fact most people pamper their bikes, they haven't had as much experience to offer others help; there are only a handle of them here. In fact, most of the threads here are people asking other's for opinions on something they ought to do their own research on.
I don't see what the problem is with this thread. I am a prospective buyer, and a thread like this is exactly what I'm looking for. I want a quick summary of all the problems that have popped up. I'd like to know what I'm getting involved with if I were to buy a new bike or a used bike. If there's something that catches my eye, I'll research it further to see how serious or not it is.
Most every other forum centred around a bike or car that I've participated in (and that's been a lot) have had a thread like this. Often it forms the basis for a mechanical diagnostics/help FAQ.
And I've got to say, the problems popping up for the 1199 look pretty tame. No one is talking about blown engines, cracked cylinder heads, or grenaded transmissions. The few dashes with the melted cases is a little concerning, but nothing else I wouldn't be willing to live with.
I don't think you guys need to hide this collected information from anyone.
They're not smug, irritated. I don't know how you can be mad about worthless posts and .... on this guy's thread, that's all. Complaining about the complaining, it's just as bad. I see this damn heat/no heat issue in every damn thread, among others.
Trans, i think that i was very clear in my comments and I won't let you say that I'm "sh&$;ing on this guy's thread."
I'm not complaining about anything but the lack of moderation/mis-placed threads and ridiculousness that occurs in so many other threads here.
I want success for this site.
It must be the time of the month for everyone.
I will have to say, I was little worried when I was buying first year model but I cant complain too much.. Things I had issues with My dealer or Ducati resolved it to 100% satisfaction. This is my first Ducati and I am loving the experience and loving to beat the crap out the bike.
Almost 3,000 miles now. I had 2 bikes so its not has high but I ride it every weekend and as much as I can.
I thought about getting a another bike like BMW HP4, but not sure if I will get same satisfaction as Ducati have been thus far.
sheesh guys, I'm away for the day at work and look what happens!
FYI I'm at 4k miles with no problems (except the green loctite shift pedal).
They used green?
Yes, this isn't necessarily a fault, but I have had issues with their loc-tite policies.yep, the tech at my shop was skeptical when I told him I absolutely could not free up the adjuster, he spent the next two hours or so until he finally got it freed up, it had a TON of green loctite in the threads (and this is a thread that's supposed to be adjustable!![]()
