The 30 day clock is paused while repairs are being carried out. See CRA 2015 S19 et al.
Although this is of course in principle. In practice, they'll laugh off any attempt to reject it.

Did you buy it 2 years ago?
No offence (more than usual) but this is exactly what I'd expect from buying a 14 year old Ducati. Folk trade in problem bikes to get rid of them, dealers sling a bucket of soapy water over them and punt them on as "very clean examples".
If you reject it now, then go chasing after Ducatis of a similar age, do you really expect to find one that's not needing similar TLC? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

As stated its an older Ducati, if you can get them to pay for remedial work to what is fundamentally a "good one" then I'd stick with that, these are appreciating bikes.
A little bit of advice from someone who owned a 749s for a few years, the cables that go from the battery to the starter and earth are known to corrode on the inside. Not related to the issues you have as the symptoms are decent battery reading but a bike that struggles to turn over.
There's a guy who does uprated replacement cables for about £80, which stop the issue and also improves starting performance. Highly recommended. https://www.exact-start.com/
Another decent quick win is putting the throttle tube from an R1 on, it's a straight swap and removes the initial give in the response shortens the amount of rotation to get full throttle, not to quick throttle levels but a noticeable improvement over standard. ____________________ Hornet 600, CBR600F, 929 blade, 07 R1, R1200GS, 09 Blade, 750 SRAD, ZZR1200, 954 Blade, KTM 990 Adventure, Ducati 749s |
