Hello there, I have a 2007 Ducati 1098 (have it since new) and I'm running into the same problem over and over. Just wondering if any of you have the same thing and how to solve it. Well here it goes:
1. a while back I was riding my back when out of the sudden the headlights went completely out. I cut off the engine and re-started and nothing. When I got home I check if it was the fuse, but this time the fuse was fine. I kept looking and looking to see if a cable was loose, but couldn't find anything at all. Finally I gave up and took it to a Ducati dealership and they said it was the Headlight relay. They replaced it and problem was solved. Thumbs up for this, but....
2. in another ride, the same thing happened, my lights went out again within 2 months. So my first thought was, well the relay again, but before I ordered a new one a check the fuses. This time was the fuse in was blown. I replaced it and problem solved, but....
3. then again, started my bike to warm it up and I notice the head lights were out. SO I checked the fuses and again fuse was blown, replaced it, but then every time the fuse kept blowing. I replaced the relay again just in case was a fault relay, but it was not. Now every time I start the bike it blows the fuse [bang] >:(. I don't know what it is...Does anybody have gone thru the same problem? If so, how did you fix it? Appreciate any input.
