1. You have pissed of the Ducati Gods
2 Your cables are binding
3 You have a large air leak you need to fix,ASAP!
4 Your float needle is sticking
5 You have pissed off the Ducati Gods
6 None of the above as you have provided too little information
pissing me off

3) 4) Or a too lean mixture and a too high idle

Mate,

Could be a number of things. But I would start by doing the easy (and cheap) things first and seeing if they help.....

From the above:
Cable/throttle binding - dissassemble the throttle assembly at the RHS grip, clean everything. Slack and remove throttle cables, inspect (replace if sheathing broken or looks rusty). If OK, lubricate and replace.

If that doesn't work maybe you really have pissed of the Ducati gods and carb drama awaits.....

No dirt is getting into the carbs by any chance (no filter, no airbox, loose lid,?)

Cheers,

Mick
