VEHICLE: '06 DUCATI 749 SUPERBIKE. PURCHASED NEW. THIS PAST SUMMER, WITH APPROX. 9,500 ON THIS VEHICLE, THE CLUTCHED SLIPPED TWICE; ONCE WHEN THE TEMP. WAS 115, ONCE WHEN IT WAS 85. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE OR SINCE. BUT OBVIOUSLY, IF THE BIKE WON'T "GO", I AM VERY MUCH AT-RISK FOR GETTING BUMPED INTO OVER RUN-OVER BY OTHER VEHICLES. DUCATI HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR! (?). ALSO, I RECENTLY TOOK THE BIKE IN AT 11,200 MI. TO DEL AMO MOTORSPORTS IN REDONDO BEACH, CA DUE TO STALLING AT IDLE ISSUES. THOUGH THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS, I TOOK IT OUT Y'DAY 2/10, AND IT STALLED AGAIN. AS WITH THE CLUTCH, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AS AT AN INTERSECTION, I AM VERY MUCH AT-RISK FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY A CLOSELY-FOLLOWING CAR, TRUCK, OR BUS. *TR
