Thanks Kevin. I wasn't sure if it set the idle speed itself. Some EFIs do, some don't. When they set their own idle and have an O2 sensor there's generally not much anyone needs to do.
I really love my Duc, best motorcycle I've ever owned and the one I love riding the most. I just feel it's time to try something new. I have to say, I am a little disappointed that the UCE has hydraulic lifters. British singles should tick when running. Otherwise how do you know it's working right?
Also adjusting valves is one of the first real mechanical skills I learned. After spending a few years adjusting the Ducati Desmodromic system I was looking forward to something that took a screwderiver, wrench, and 5 minutes to set right. Plus anything that reminds me of my air cooled VW days is always good. Guess I'll have to use that extra time for tightening spokes or something.
I have no plans to buy a $2500 computer for the bike, thanks. Isn't that about half of MSRP? If it was a few hundred I would but that's more than I want to spend and it seems it's really unnecessary with what's already built into the bike.
So now I just need the economy to turn around so my wife can get a job again and we'll have money for a new bike. Of course the longer I wait the less the Ducati is worth and the less reason there is to trade it in or sell it. By next year I'll just be adding a new bike to the garage instead of trading the one I have
Thanks very much to all for the answers and sorry for the thread jack.
