Battery acid on my engine - (bad, DNA, bad)
So, I'm getting ready for a ride last weekend, cleaning bugs off the windscreen, putting air in my tires, checking the fluids. Then, I go around to the left side of the bike, and notice the battery has leaked acid all over my engine and cooked the vertical head, cylinder, as well as the side and center cases of my S4.
Instead of a nice ride up Angeles Crest, its superslab to the dealer.
First, the dealer (Oceanside Ducati) said they would replace all the those components, including the battery (their idea). Now, the dealer tells me that the Ducati NA representative will only let them replace the side cover and they will touch-up the rest.
I'm fuming.
This is the second battery that has leaked on me (the first was replaced before it did major damage).
Who else has had similar battery problems with their Ducati, and what was the resolution?
