Right fork seeping:  Both forks were flushed and refilled with Spectro 5w spec fork oil at bike overhaul but were not disassembled.  The right fork is leaking at its seal. -- Overhauled both forks, replaced inner and outer bushings and installed fresh seals and dust wipers -- new Spectro 5w fork oil.
Events and Receipts 1.  Purchase and Records:		ST4s Non Linear TPS - Set Baseline Adjustment Brad The Bike Boy has a comprehensive page dedicated to this with the CAUTION: Do NOT connect Diagnostic SW and press "TPS RESET" - NO!  Do NOT do it if you have Non Linear TPS (like my 2002 ST4s does) http://www.bikeboy.org/ducati4vthrottleb.html   Vinnie's info on TPS Reset Follow Brad the Bike Boy's instructions. I back probe the TPS at the connector, red lead (+) from my multi-meter to the #2 wire (orange) in the middle of the connector, and my black lead (-) to the #3 wire (black & violet).
	Install and Set Timing Belt Tension Values using acoustic vibration: Measure and set Tension on timing belts:  110Hz on new Ducati OEM belts and approx 90-100Hz on existing belts. Set tension at 100Hz for New Exact Fit belts (CA Cycleworks). To set the belt tension, the cylinder you are checking MUST be at TDC so that there is no tension applied to the belts by the closing springs pushing on the rockers. 1.  For the horizontal cylinder it is the forward run between the tensioner pulley and the exhaust camwheel (posn 21). 2.  For the vertical cylinder it is the rearmost run between the idler pulley and the exhaust camwheel (posn 25).
