Ok, first off i am new to the forum so hello to all. I will try and describe my situation as good as possible.
My Duc starts fine and idles great until it gets warmed up. Once warmed up it seems as if the idle is to slow and will stall everyonce in awhile like when i pull up to a stop light. If this was the only thing going on i wouldn't be worried and should be an easy fix. However, once the engine is HOT as in sitting in traffic to and from work, the idle climbs to about 3000 rpm's, way to fast and loud. If i ease the clutch out just a bit as if to almost stall the engine and bring the rpm's back to around 1000 it will stay there for about 5 seconds then climb to 3000 rpm's again without me doing anything.
The tricky thing here is the idle is low at first and high later so i don't think that i can just adjust the idle. Not sure if this is relavant but it is chiped with the fast by (someone) if i recall and has a full set of Term's. Both were already installed when i purchased the bike last summer.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i have no problems taking it to the Ducati dealer (literally 10 minutes away) but i don't want to get ripped off with the super high hourly rates they have. I would prefer have an idea of what is wrong first. The bike is completly ridable to take out for joy rides and around town but i would like to drive it to work more often and that involves driving into Washington DC evary day and with the traffic my clutch hand gets severly cramped bringing the rpm's down.
Thanks everyone and i will try and get some pics of my Ducati posted soon.
P.S. How do you search the forums, can't seem to find the option, i know it is sitting right in my face but i am blind to it.
