Hello everyone! I just purchased a 2007 Ducati 1098 with 10,500 miles on it. The previous owner never did the 7,500 mile service so I just did the 15,000 service with new belts, valve adjustment, the whole thing. There were 2 recalls on the bike so I took it to my local Ducati dealer to get it fixed. They remapped they ecu to fix stalling issues and changed the voltage regulator as part of the recall. I was riding back home from the shop and I felt my 1098 losing power on the highway. Eventually the bike shut off. It would not turn over unless I gave it gas. I towed it back to the shop and they said my fuel injector has gone bad. I didn’t have this issue before they fixed the recall! Is it possible that they improperly mapped my bike causing the fuel injector to go bad? They said that they found a ton of fuel in on of the cylinders or something like that. They recommend changing out the fuel injectors and that “should solve the issue.” They said a new fuel injector is going to cost me $820 ($520 for part) ($300 labor) for 1 to change out. If I wanted to change both it would cost me $1,300. Do you guys recommend buying a used injector online for like $100 or should I change both with new ones? I’m probably going to fix it and sell it because I can’t afford if something else goes wrong with the bike after having just spent $2,300 for the desmo service and now looking like another $1,300 but the fuel injectors. What do you guys suggest? Any and all help is highly appreciated!

Welcome to Ducati ownership after the warranty goes in the toilet. Get the used ones. Easy to test with a battery and a can of FI cleaner, also relatively easy to change depending on your skill level which should be a priority now that you own a Duc. Owning a used Duc without the ability to fix it is not something to be taken lightly. Parts are ridiculously overpriced.
WOW thank you so much for the fast response! I knew I had to put a little money into it but I just paid for the bike and on top of it out another $2,000 for the desmo service. I just wasn’t expecting to spend another $1,000+ on top of everything so fast. I found a couple used injectors that said have been leak tested and
