Fun on the Futa The SS55 Della Futa is a mountain road that runs from Bologna across the Apennine Mountains to Florence. It’s a challenging road, with fast weeping bends, blind corners, hairpins, and asphalt ranging from racetrack quality to worn and torn beyond recognition. Together with the curvy A1 Autostrada a couple of kilometres west of the SS55, this is the Ducati proving ground for developing bikes. This is where the 916 and the 999 were developed and fi ne-tuned, but most of all, this is the birthplace of the Multistrada. The design goal for the Multistrada was to be the ultimate bike for attacking the Futa. Obviously, riding the Passo della Futa was on my checklist of “things to do before dying”. Since there were two other things on that list, a visit to the Museo Ducati and riding some mountain passes during the off-season, it seemed like a good idea to combine it all with a visit to the WDW at the Misano racetrack. And then some Danisch genious decided to organise the annual generalforsamling in the weekend before the WDW. My fi rst thought was that it would not be possible to combine both events in a single week. But after some additional thoughts, I could not fi nd a singe reason not to combine both events. It just means that I needed to cover a whole lot of kilometres, and hey, whats wrong with that? The bike certainy deserved to fi nally stretch its legs. It’s been a diffi cult winter for my Multistrada. After the fi rst service, the engine was not running properly, it was not running smooth at lower rpms, snatching at the slack of the chain. It felt a bit like the carburettors needed synchronizing, except there are off course no carburettors on a modern Ducati. The fi rst investigation lead us to believe that one of the valves was leaking. This sounded plausible, at the fi rst service all four valves were way too tight, so one of them might very easily have been damaged. We sent one of the heads to an engine specialist. This was diagnosed as OK, so we sent the other one and indeed one of the valves in this head was not sealing properly. This was fi xed, but unfortunately, the problem persisted. The next suspect was to have a good look at the butterfl y throttle valves. One of them was touching the throttle body slightly too soon, preventing the throttle to be closed completely. Meanwhile, a specialist form Magneti Marelli suggested to have a look at the camshafts as well. He had seen shafts where the timing marks were misaligned, so the looked to be set up correctly, when the were in fact misaligned. My camshafts were fi ne and the butterfl y valves were setup as they should. The result was the same, the problem was still there. So now the motormanagement computer was given a good looking after and the dealer found a problem in “pin 1B”. Not sure what “pin 1B” does, and what the problem was, but it seemed to be related to the cold running program of the bike. So a new computer was ordered. And as things sometimes go with Ducati this took slightly more time than what seems necessary, to put it mildly. Fortunately, it was now the middle of winter and with all the salt on the roads I was not going to ride my precious any way. Six weeks later, the new computer arrived, and amazingly, this one showed the exact same problem on pin 1B as the old one. This was reported to the importer, who obviously thought that my dealer was doing something wrong, so they sent a mechanic to look at the problem. The new computer really had the same problem, but then the mechanic produced the Termignoni kit (including computer!) that I ordered a month earlier from the trunk of his car. Note that some people ordered this exhaust almost a year earlier and still had not received it. My dealer was not complaining and neither was I. This computer was OK, but the problem was still not gone. 23
