Jerks alittle and shuts off. Yet, starts back up right away..

Wyatterp · Jan 15, 2021

Hello Ducati friends, I have a 2019 Ducati V4. It’s a brand new bike with only 148 miles on it. Today, I filled up with gas and notched it sputtering/jerking...then shutting off while riding. I can quickly start it back up, but puzzled if anyone has experienced this before? Any ideas?

Try deleting the evap canister. Seems to sort out a lot of people’s bikes who had similar issues

Thank you Andy!!!! I will look into that...

Someone a while ago showed us pictures of terrible burn marks all over that persons legs from the bike shutting off mid turn and it falling onto the rider and cooking their flesh.
I do recall the attitude being “at least the bike didn’t get damaged”
I was like r u *** kidding me

What gassing up procedures are people following that anecdotally leads to hard start/stuttering/only Ducati problems?

Explain the math of that. Your bike stops mid corner and presumably you low side. How does the bike not get damaged?

I fill my tank till the nozzle clicks off and have had no problems with 1299 and V4
1299 did have problems until the ECU got flashed and removed evap can.
V4 has been flawless since the beginning. Truly exception machine imo. I’m sure the doubting Thomas’ out there will say Ducs new proDUCts are .... but it is really those ppl that are just full of ..... The V twin bikes need some work to make them truly great, it was rough for a little while there with my 1299 but now it’s been sorted and it’s a dream

Cause the riders leg got caught under it.
I think the bike stopped and dropped. Yeah I know if that persons leg wasn’t under the machine it would have been totaled

The riders leg was purple. It got cooked. Smoked

Take it to Beverly Hills Ducati and make friends with the service writer. All you have to do is point at it and tell him what’s going on.

It’s crazy, i changed the riding mode to race and took it out again, it ran well! So, not sure what the @&&& went on, but it seems to run okay now! I still think it might have been the gas I put in today. Also, the dash flashed low battery.. could that have caused any riding issues of stall or jerking motion while accelerating? Puzzled..

You have a 2 year old bike with only 150 miles on it. My guess would be you have fuel gummed up somewhere if that tank was left with fuel in it.
