Does that Bulletin have a reference number or something?
just to check in Europe if there is a "recall" from Ducati.

1 in 15 696's have the coil issue. I guess the red wine and not the red paint was flowing at the factory

 Gino's shift was the night shift and he was incharge of the wiring harness duties. Gino has issues. He was hired under a government sponsorship program.

I haven't noticed any abnormalities as of today. Had the bike for about a month with roughly 180 miles on it. It steadily runs with 3 or 4 bars on the temp gauge depending on traffic conditions. I did call the dealership and they told me there were no complaints received from their M696 owners yet. Nice thing about having a new bike is the warranty but being a first-time Ducati owner, I really didn't expect any problems in the first place.

I'm having mine checked anyway next week.

Bloody Gino, He must have been the same guy who damaged the Oring on my S2R 800!
