Well, for the folks who've been commiserating with me on the loooonnnnng absence of my bike in the shop, I finally got it back. It turns out all the crappy running at low speed was due to a new, defective spark plug. I looked at the thing and indeed the center electode was about 2mm off from center and that was causing intermittent spark. The nice part is that Ducati of Marin gave me a coupon for free tire install for the long time it took to get diagnosed.
Now to the fun part.
I only had about a half hour on the bike, but rode out to Muir Beach, which is near my house. Now, I had upgraded the rear shock to an Ohlins late last summer, and it was great, but made the front seem terrible by comparison. So part of this lengthy service was to get the front forks RaceTech'ed.
