Hi, I've been lurking around these forums for quite some time researching exhaust to put on my 695. I ended up purchasing a set of termi slip-ons about a month ago and they've been on the bike ever since. last week during biketober fest the bike would run realy hot, i know sitting in traffic doesn't help an air cooled motor and the oil temp reached a high of 300 degrees.
The bike, even with the stock pipes, would run anywhere from 240-280 degrees just riding around town, as did it with the termi's. I talked to a guy here at a new ducati dealership that just opened in town here and he said the bike should only run around the mid 200's. So I was told to bring it in under warranty, which I did. The service guy calls me up and tells me that the problem is the new exhaust, which is making it run leaner, and that there might be possible rear cyclinder damage because of this.
The best part is that he tells me that this is now not covered under the warranty. I was under the impression from what I've read that putting on aftermarket slip-ons shouldn't effect the bike that much. Is this dealer ship trying to just squeeze some money out of me or am I screwed? Also, can I put my stock exhaust back on it and bring it to the dealership I bought it from and not mention anything about what the other dealership said and have the bike fixed under warranty, or once again am I screwed? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
