Not sure what to do next

Just picked one up from Road Rider and will install tomorrow. 

I don't think I can pursue the lemon law issue because it's a motorcycle.  If the new battery doesn't fix it, I think I'm just going to have to suck it up.

Which dealer are you working with on getting it fixed?  Have you discussed your frustrations with the service manager?  I encourage you to do this.

Although the provisions of the CA Lemon Law specifically excludes motorcycles, you do have legal recourse, just not the same as cars.

I'm working with Honda Ducati Peninsula and they've been pretty responsive.

A bunch of minor stuff is just that--minor...hell, my bike is constantly springing leaks and having stuff go wrong with it.  Granted, mine ain't brand new off the lot, but dealing with little stuff is what's in everyone's future if you keep a machine long enough.  My point is that you've had some fairly significant issues.  I don't know anything about lemon law, but it would seem reasonable that going in countless times--even if it's covered under warranty--is becoming an undue burden. 

Man I hear ya. I have a M900 (not the 44 kit) as well. It is a great bike, but it requires a lot of love.
What!?!

I'm happy to say that this has been resolved.  I can't mention any specifics, or even generalities.  Looking forward to test riding some bikes next week, including the SF, HM and probably the Speed Triple, but I'm a long ways out from buying anything.

Thanks for all of the advice from various members.

You may not be too far from buying once you ride that Streetighter. If crack is illegal, that bike should definitely be a schedule 1 drug.

Possibly, but I'm not sure I'm really to jump back in bed with Ducati.  I'm also a pretty conservative rider so a SF might be complete overkill for me.  Now a K1300R on the other hand....  ;D

I figured you'd be pitching your 749 again but it looks like you sold it.  Congrats!
