Thanks for the help everybody.
Now I'm even more confused though.
My S4 had 4 cams and 2 spark plugs.
It seems they screwed up in Bologna and got it backwards on my new bike...
Is this covered under warranty?
What should I do? ???
It should be, but Bologna will never admit to it. PM Statler and ask if you can sue.
Everything should be OK though since you added that aftermarket douche bag to the seat. [laugh]

just remember, you have to wait until italy comes back from august vacation before you can sue anyone [thumbsup]
I called my dealership today.
I explained the problem and the service manager seemed to think it was some sort of joke.
I informed him that I would be filing a law suit unless they took out two of the spark plugs and installed two more cams under warranty.
He called me an idiot and I'm pretty sure I could hear him laughing as I hung up the phone. >:(
WTF??
I guess I'll be getting a lawyer. Think Statler would want to handle it for me?!
He'll probably do it pro-bono, since it will probably get class action status...

This is a serious thread. If you have nothing useful to say, then post in one of the two Say Anything Threads.

Sorry.......... sniff,sniff<slinking away TOSAT>
Well, it's all clear now.
After a visit to my local dealer today, I now know that air-cooled 2 valve Ducatis only have one cam per cylinder.
Thanks guys. I'm sure at least one of you knew this and could have prevented my looking like a dumbass.
Well, probably not, since I am a dumbass, but maybe prevented it in this situation. :P

Still doesn't explain why they drilled extra holes in the heads and then decided to fill them with plugs. :P

Those are the spare plugs - in case the top ones get fouled, you can rotate the bottom ones up to the top, put the top ones back down to plug the holes. Ducati even includes a tool in the tool kit for this.

You're so good at finding out about those little, but important things, the kind we take for granted and never question.
Could you possibly help me out here, or in another thread? You see, I'm looking forward to my next mods but I need help. The lower, moving parts of the fork are always so slippery - can they be dried? Also they need to be black to look good on my bike. What do you suggest?
To match the extended use of black up front I thought the headlights would look cool if blacked - now they are ugly see-through - that has never been a good look for me.
