Hey Guys and Gals,
I have a buddy 50 question...
My cousin and his Fiance just got a new italia buddy 50. yay!
It is stalling when at red lights... booo...
Whats up?
the dealership, ducati seattle, took a look at it and said everything is fine... I guess there was some "blue" smoke they related to a fouled spark plug..
Ive never had a two-stroke... is there a certain way it needs to be treated when riding around to keep it happy?
Thanks err budy.

my buddy 50 Italia stalls when idleing if it is cold outside. It also will sometimes stall at idle if I havn't riden in awhile which generally isn't a problem for me:) I have never had a problem once it warms up. Generally if its cold out I'll ride it around the block before taking it out on the road.

stalling at stop lights
I've been having this problem off and on since I bought my Buddy last year. I sent it in to be serviced and they told me that the gas was bad/old and sludgy. This season I put some Snow mass in with the gas and put in some fresh gas on top of the old gas. After my first ride, no stalling. But after leaving it sit at work after the ride, for four hours, the stalling happened again. I'm going to try and drain all the gas and start with just a 1/2 tank and more snow mass. We'll see if this stops. Beyond that I'm out of ideas.
