This has been brought up by Dave (in Woodland) on the other forum but in the US owners manual (page 152) it talks about a connector to plug in the Ducati Battery Maintenance Charger for when the bike is not being ridden. So far it appears that the bikes in Europe have them and the US bikes do not, even though it is included in the US owners manual as being there. My opinion is that is was probably left off in the rush to get the "many months late" bike delivered. I also think that it was included in the base cost and should be installed at no cost. Has anybody else in the US checked to see if they have it installed or not?
Tomorrow, I am taking my bike in for the first service. They are also installing a new USB module as mine has never worked. Something else everyone should check. Laura, the service manager, is also going to tell me what Ducati's official response is for the missing battery maintenance connectors on the US bikes.
I will let everyone know what I find out.
P.S. My BMW came with an easy connector plug on the side of the bike and the battery charger came as part of the stuff they give you when you bought the bike. In all fairness, it cost more than the Scrambler.
