I can't seem to find the specific info for the older generation starter solenoid/relays but as with most ducati's they crank over slow. Many have switched to larger wire with higher strand count of pure copper and had success but to do the high current relay/solenoid and the wires you will never have an issue. The TE High current relay/solenoid are rated at 130a continuous and 300a switching.Thanks so much for the information Araitim, I will also look into high current solenoid.
Also what is the difference between the modern high current solenoid compare to the stock 999S engine solenoid? Thanks
