Have you looked around the garage floor? Maybe they've just fallen off!

But seriously... do you have a multimeter?

Hey that sounds pretty bad (expensive).

My experience tells me that 'All dead' is a lot cheaper to fix than 'slightly dead'.

Get yourself a multimeter and start from the fuses.

Good luck.

Dare I say it but 'typically' after a lot of checking, testing and hunting around it was found to be just the ECU relay, a part that costs about $20!!!
So anyway all sorted thanks to AJ at Motohaus!

Just in case you ever have the same problem on a Duke, this was the little bastid that caused all the trouble. Its rather 'cleverly' located behind the battery holder which in case you don't know on the 749/999's, means its in the belly pan directly behind the front wheel so as to maximise the amount of water and shite it gets thrown at it!!!!!
So what did I learn from this experience? 1. Italians still can't design electrical systems 2. Ducati's are 'dry clean' only 3. I forgive my bike everything because..... well just because ok?!?!
