NOT SURE IF THE LAST COMPLAINT WENT THROUGH SO HE I GO AGAIN. MY MOTORCYCLE HAS TWO MANUFACTURED DEFECTS. THE MOTORCYCLE OVERHEATS IN CITY TRAFFIC CAUSING THE MOTORCYCLE TO SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE COMPUTER AND THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE GET TOO HOT. THIS ALSO CAUSES OTHER ISSUES BECAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE ALWAYS RUNS HOT. THE CLUTCH FLUID CAN BOIL AND SEALS FAIL ON THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. MINE WENT AT 6000 MILES LEAKING FLUID CAUSING ME TO HAVE NO ABILITY TO SHIFT THE MOTORCYCLE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE TWO FLAWS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED ON THESE DUCATI MOTORCYCLES. THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN. I HAVE A SCHEDULED REPAIR PROVIDING THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER DO SOMETHING. PROBABLY GET THE SAME FAULTY PART INSTALLED BUT NEW VERSION OF THEM. OVERHEATING PROBLEM PROBABLY WON'T EVER GET FIXED.
