Odd 1299 throttle issue.

When I say odd, I mean nobody as yet, including 2 Ducati dealers have heard of, or have any answer for.

First 10mm turn of the throttle nothing happens. Not the normal slack as in the one with no resistance, it had that before and I fitted the 'Panigale Spacers' which did the trick.

This is 10mm of turn with resistance, i.e. before this happened, there was communication between throttle and engine within the first 1mm, now, that point after the first resistance and the engine biting, a gap has just materialised.
Might not sound like much, but the spring for throttle return is fairly strong, and not knowing the point where the engine is going to cut in is damn difficult to deal with.
Imagine it with the normal slack of 5 or so mm, and then another 10mm with resistance when trying to feed power in pulling away or when getting back on it after down changing into a corner, finding that biting point is disconcerting to say the least.

It's booked in, but have to wait nearly a month, any ideas, please?

I’m surprised they didn’t tell you “it’s normal” that seems to be the standard answer. Could you make a video and post it?

Indeed! I was prepared, but it didn't happen!!

Actually, the dealer I booked it into were trying to be helpful, they have a really approachable and welcoming attitude that inspires confidence.........saying whilst not wanting to tempt fate!
I was told to let the bike tick over and go through a complete heat cycle without touching the throttle, then stop and restart, hoping that the 'sensors' would do, communicating 'something'
sorry, not big on electronics (
Anyway, didn't work, but at least they did try. I think they are more worried about not being able to find the bug, but they certainly have a better chance than I do!!!
Which also leads me to putting a video online, never done that before so all I can say is I'll try. If I can't figure it, I'll do the filming bit here and see if one of the tech guys at work has the time to guide me with the online bit, sigh.

If this is not a true mechanical issue (possible) then you an APS,TPS,ECU sync issue which should easily be addressed with the DDS. Additionally, the Melco software may be of some help.

Did you get any additional info on this problem?

Interesting point about the heat cycle, I had the problem with the engine warning light on after a TPS glitch and when I got it up to working temp then restarted the light went out, Endodoc said that the bike resets when it goes on start up and it seems too.
