| Hi,
|
| I recently got a brand new Ducati 800ss. I had left it untouched for
| about 2 months and now it does not start. The lights comes on once I
| put in the keys but the engine is dead silent when I press the starter.
| I am new to Motor Cycle repair, It is costing me a fortune to get it
| fixed from the dealer. I was wondering if anyone could guide me on how
| to remove the batteries from the Ducati 800ss and how to recharge
| them(what kind of charger should I get)? Or is there anything else that
| I should look into before removing the battery.
|
| Thanks,
|
| Matt.

Matt,
Your Owner Manual should have the info on how to remove the battery.
I presume that the battery was charged prior to the 2 month standing, but
Ducati Monster 800 which has the same engine has a slow starter motor crank
speed, and does not have much grunt at the best.
The battery is covered by warranty (pro rata), and is "faulty" if you get my
drift.
Ducati WILL replace it as this is not a rare for a new battery to fail.
Seems to happen a lot with the 'maintenance free' battery.
Failing that, a start using a car battery across the bike battery, will be
ok and perhaps the battery will re charge.
Rob..
