1199 pani oil issue

Most of you guys have never owned an Italian motorcycle obviously. In the instruction sheet that came with my bike, in 4 languages, non of which were English. It clearly states you stare longingly at the bikes great lines and beautiful color, only discussing quietly why it may not be starting. After a deliberately long time you unroll the tool pouch and marvel at the finish on the wrenches, noting the plug wrench supplied does not fit your bike. After a few more hrs, you order lunch.
Calling the dealer you'll find the parts supply network is late, Italy is closed this month. All you want is a plug wrench. Three weeks later while talking with your neighbor you discover his rototiller, ironically made by the Laverda factory now, uses the same plug. You decide to give it a try, but maybe tomorrow, its time again for lunch.
 
Bwahahahaha! You forgot the Perrier.

Absolutely! Euro bikes haven't changed.I bought a new Spanish made Montesa back in 72.A couple yrs later while doing some work on it,i shot a big specially made circlip to parts unknown.Looked everywhere and couldn't find it.Ordered a new one from the dealer.It took 10 weeks to get it!!!!

On a canoe trip about 3 yrs later i found it when my brother and i put it into Lake Temagami.It had been in the bow of the canoe (stored in the rafters of the garage) all that time. Hahaha.
 
San Pellegrino. If you're going to mock, at least get it right!

Sorry, sad truth is I'm probably just jealous. At this point, I'd have to kill the wife and use the insurance money if I wanted a high end Duc. I'm lucky to be shopping early-mid 2000's. Lol

if it's the same person, and the story i heard at ducati is right: something to do with switch housing (recalled)
 
Oil light comes on when and engine stalls - suddenly oil pressure is too low, due to not running.

Did you run out of fuel? Italian bikes run on olive oil. Try speaking to it with an accent.

So does that mean I have to throw raw fish at my bike to make it work?
