2020 V2 ~5k miles MIL with P061B and P0418

Recent purchase, I have put about 1k on it since August of this year. Bike has a T800 upmap, and toce (unbaffled) exhaust slip on. Neither of which are my doing, so I cannot speak to modification specifics. I do have the original exhaust. On a recent chilly morning of about 40 F I noted a studder and rough idle about 1/4 mile from the house. After stalling, it started but was not happy at idle and has the MIL light. OBD reader indicates a confirmed P061B and a pending P0418.
I have not had any issues thus far with the bike, including a very spirited 250 mile day in September. Report from the OBD screen caps below.

I am not sure where to start on this, I have considered clearing them and seeing what happens. I have not found any results on the web or forum specific for these two fault codes on a Ducati V2, or really any Ducati.

I hate that my first post here was looking for help, this is my first Ducati and something if I don't do now I never will. Thanks.

Short running stats pulled. I cracked the throttle at start up idle and it lagged and stalled immediately.

I'd start at inspecting the secondary air injection system since that's what the error codes point toward. I'd check if there are block off plates installed on the cylinder heads (and they're attached correctly, no loose bolts) and if there's a terminator plug installed on the plug for the solenoid, which unfortunately you're going to have to pull the tank to get at. Maybe you can get a look at it if you removed the tank bolts and lifted it slightly.

my notes:

P0418 = secondary air system failure. you need to check the valve that has two hoses that run to each cylinder head...that valve or plug or hose has failed buddy. this is common error.

P061X = injector error, need to check connections to each injector are good.

Good luck my man

Yep...BP all over it as usual!

dilly dilly boys!

Many thanks for the detailed response BP. Looks like I have I start, I will look at this and post what I find. I will most likely have some follow up ?'s. This isn't my EXC250, the versys 650 or my childhood elsinore 125.

SirJAG, is there a resource that puts these common codes into meaningful Ducati components and systems? The details you posted were much more descriptive than anything I found in general search terms. I found zero posts in forums matching these codes and Ducati. General searches are overwhelmingly automotive. And thanks for the feedback. It is meaningful to see buy-in to online advice.

A bit of advice if you pull the tank. Most will disconnect the hose from the T fitting than splits to the upper and lower injectors. Be gentle when removing it, if you don’t want to replace the hose. There’s a service bulletin that advises to replace that hose every time the tank is removed. I don’t think that’s necessary in every circumstance, YMMV. At 5K miles, that hose likely has had a lot of heat cycles.

I think you have a bit of exploratory work to do since the bike was used and modded. You never know the capabilities of the previous owner.

You should be able to Google (likely from this site) a copy of the service manual.
