Going from Harley Lowrider S stage 2 to a 2019 Multistrada 2016 Pikes Peak. Love it. Trying to learn the electronics and other components as quick as possible. Any input for a new Ducati owner would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Welcome Greg, excellent bike choice I might add! I leave mine in sport mode most of the time. Ducati might have fixed the fuel level sensor by then, but be prepared to start using your tripmeter for gas. Your coming up on a cam belt change in a couple more years, but those aren't that hard. Not much else I can think of at this hour. It's a fantastic bike, I have enjoyed mine every time I get on it.

Hey there, I bought a 2019 zero miles, never registered Multistrada 1260S in September 2022 and mine has a bad fuel sensor. I'd just filled up for the 2nd time (less the 500 miles total) when I watched the gauge go to ZERO in 2 minutes. Thought I was sitting on a Molotov Cocktail until I could get off the freeway! Very scary.

NIce bike, looks like they still haven't figured it out yet. LOL, I figure around 200 miles to a tank is a good conservative estimate. According to the bike menu, it averages around "50 mpg" with a tank just a shade over 5 gallons.

Yikes!
