Welcome.

It sounds like you have a weak battery or a bad connection at the battery. Clean the battery terminals and charge the battery. Should be good to go.

If your battery is more than a few years old without regular riding/charging with a tender it might be time for a new one. Have it tested if the cleaning/charging doesn't work.

My ST2 had that problem, but only when warm.

I replaced all of the main wires between the battery and the starter motor with some http://www.powerletproducts.com/products/ducati_starter_rewire.php"]Powerlet cables[/url] and it totally cured the problem. But I replaced the battery first, just to be sure.

Now it cranks over in a strong manner regardless of the conditions.
