After seeing all of these posts about issues with the bike, I was wondering how many people that have it are in fact not experiencing any problems at all?

I'm looking into getting one with the full Termi kit installed prior to purchase by the dealer, and I'm starting to get a little worried about what I could expect.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

I have 1080 faultless miles on my stock 696. Runs like a peach.

Nice!

Anyone that have Termi's with similar results?

 800 km and no issue. I'm curious as to what you mean when you say "all these problems"? This is a forum man, human nature dictates that the vast majority of posts will be from those experiencing problems, not ones who are working perfectly. If you look closely most all the issues have been people putting on the race only setup with the Termis installed. I havent had a dealer set up so I have to run them with the baffles installed. Be prepared though, the bike will wake the dead without the DB killers in.

I was one of the owners that posted in the Mapping Problems thread.  I have the Slip-Ons (- db killers) + DP Racing ECU + DP Air Filter + 14 Tooth Front sprocket.  I have not experienced any heat problems.  No stalling/cutting out.  I think the best way to describe my issue is as follows:

When I'm trying to maintain a speed between 20 - 40 mph (2500 - 4000 Rpm) with the throttle just barely open,  it feels a little jerky.  Kind of like "hey, lets get going a little faster".  I think the 14 Tooth sprocket is causing most of this.

I do believe the bike is running way too lean with the Termi's on.  I'm don't regret buying the bike, it's been a blast and very reliable so far.  If the Power Commander becomes available for the 696 I'll most likely look into it, but I don't feel the issues I've seen are the end of the world, it just gets me out of town faster and out to the back roads where I can open it up.

Will a power commander help the bike run riche, I thought a closed loop system makes this difficult to do? 

Some surging seems to be the norm with bike's now-a-days!   

About 350 miles without Termis and no problems. I did notice the engine feels rough around 3500-4000 rpm.

I was able to get the temperature gauge up to 6-7 bars, but that was my fault for using too high a gear going up a mountain canyon out of paranoia of exceeding 6000 rpm during break in.

My Termis are due to arrive today. I'm going to install the full kit and see how it goes. Curious to see if living in Denver (less oxygen in the air) will cause the engine to run less lean.

A Ducati that runs rough below 4000 rpm?  I don't believe you.

There are bikes that don't surge? 

  My 696 has just under 240 miles on it and it is stock. I do notice the jerky surging, but mostly when I first start riding  and I am cruzing out of my neighborhood at about 20-30 mph. I blast the throttle thinking my bike just  wants to go faster.
  I ordered the full termis kit knowing that ducati will fix any problems that their new bike might have if they want to succeed with their new design and if they want to continue to sell their expensive accesories.

Ha!  More likely they'll say "it's part of the bike's character," or "it's a feature, not a bug," or "it's Italian passion," or [insert your own creative excuse here].

"Italian passion" - I like that.

All that I'm saying is that this is their all new design and if they want new customers and not to be distroyed by the media and owners, they better make the bike work.
  This is my first duc, If this is normal for the bikes than this thread should have been answered by yourself saying " no problems to speak of, consistant ducati quality".

I sort of did say that, albeit in a sarcastic manner.  I like Ducatis and will probably buy more, but they aren't perfect, and I don't expect they ever will be.  Some roughness below 4000 rpm is typical of the Ducatis I've encountered.  Frankly, that never bothered me much, though.
