I've got 2 Ducs...1 carb 1 FI....I shudder to think of an FI problem, as a result of what I've read...I'm leaving the FI, immobilizer and ECU alone....NO modding, NO mapping...NO TOUCH!

Ducati carbs (Mikuni BDST38) no problem
i have never had a fuel injection problem, and that goes for the vehicles i work on at the dealership, and personal cars. one of my cars, the daily ride, a honda has 500,000 plus miles and its 99% original. down to the fuel pump. lol.. i think carbs are easier to mod and hot rod vs FI, but for daily, stock use, give me fuel injection any day.
