Angry OH gawd moving failure

The movers unloaded the bike off the truck, I put Mi Key in Her, the instrumentation reads orange&Red, while the neutral green is not Go. A rapid click.ingg sound is coming from the Fuel Pump/Ohlins undertail area.
With more miles on the odometer. Fuhhh. I pulled the seat off, the wires are clean. I don't know how to fix this. Help!

No clue on the dash indications or clicking but I would sure be up the moving companies ass if the bike has more miles on it than when it was loaded up for shipping. Did they have the key/s??????

was it a french canadian moving company?

seriously ... if there are ANY more miles on the bike now than when you left it for the movers to load up ... get on them quick for ANY damages incurred.

that said ... do a quick check to see if the display is showing miles or kilometers. not certain on the hypertard, but on my mh900e, if i disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for more than a few hours, the display reverts back to kilometers.

on the no green light when in neutral, for sure the bike is not in gear? i know that sounds dumb, but i have seen this happen

The keys never left Mi posession, the bike is definitely in Neutral, and She reads 2 Miles more on the odometer than when We separated. The acorn nuts on the Scott's Ignition Ring housing have been torqued and look more worn than before. I fear someone actually succeeded in starting this Hyper without a key. I am filing a claim and looking into the company in New Orleans that is probably responsible.

Can this bike be bump started without the key??

Hey Nick, - its Rob from Ducati New Orleans. If you remember right, we had that same neutral indicator light issue the last time you were in. The sensor may just be malfunctioning. Try to wiggle the harness and sensor that plugs into the back of the engine case just in front of the rear shock. Also, there really isn't a way to start this bike without a key, especially not by bump starting it. It would require cutting/splicing of wires etc.

As far as the clicking goes, battery is simply low on charge. Remove the seat and put the battery on a tender. The other option is to simply jump start the bike off of a car (without the car running). Make sure you give the bike time to charge the battery. If you need anything else at all, you got my number, hit me up bro.

Hey Rob, good lookin out. Alright, after I charged the battery, Neutral Indicator came back. I was aggravated seeing the scuffs on the right fairing and bar end left by the moving company. Some of The furniture got gouged as well. At least the bike arrived in one piece, right? And there will be the Insurance Claim. Lesson Learned: Trailer it Yourself.
