My local dealer had my bike all Friday to investigate the issue further. They consulted with Ducati and showed them the video I posted in this thread.
The dealer has been advised by Ducati to replace the starter motor. Apparently it has been an issue on some 1199's and you can sometimes get a lazy starter motor.
Parts are on order to arrive next week, so let's see if this fixes the issue.
As there is no cannister on the UK models, will be interesting to see if this does fix the issue like in your case aleviac13 and the pickup sensor.
