safetyfish, it could be the h/g as the gasket may have failed sealing the compression chamber to the coolant circuit, this would pressurise the system.
I still have reservations about this though. You can do a 'block' test on a car that will tell you if carbon monoxide is in the coolant, so the dye changes colour if it is. May be hard to do on a bike. The seal can be letting go at a high temp too, it is hard to tell. It could be a faulty t/stat even.
Like the others suggested, cheapest first could be the way to go.
Are Ducati paying for the h/g work?
If not maybe worth a complaint, esp if the bike isn't that old or with high mileage?
How much faith would I have in a dealer that says my h/g is gone, when they already told me the symptom is normal? Not Much! The bike would be in somewhere else.
This would reinforce a complaint to Ducati.
Whatever happens........... good luck, it will come out in the wash so to speak.
