Panigale V2 - Cutting out when up-shifting (Videos)

Hi and thanks for taking the time to look, please do reply if you have any clues what could be wrong.

It's an ex-demo V2 that had less than 250 miles on the clock - now at approx 2.5k and the problem has occurred about 12-15 times.

As the title states the issue happens very shortly after up-shifting using the DQS, engine power cuts out for a split second and immediately returns as if nothing happened.

The issue has been caught on 360 video a few times which has been put on Youtube - original videos are still available.

(Disclaimer - not me riding)

Bike has been to the garage and they checked sensor voltages on the DQS which were all fine and nothing else shown wrong in the self-diagnosis reports - if anyone needs any test data from this including the DQS voltages just let us know what you need.

Ultimately it will end up going back to the garage since still under-warranty but it would be good to help speed the process up by isolating the issue for them.

shifter adjustment

or poor operation resting your foot on the lever after change..

Thanks for the reply, i hadn't discounted the human element completely but thought i'd done enough to rule it out. I've purposely knocked the shifter after shifting, held the shifter longer when selecting gears amongst anything else i could think of but no matter what i did i couldn't replicate the issue on purpose.

Initially i thought i might not be pushing the shifter high enough so i did adjust the shifter so it was lower.

It's so hard to troubleshoot since it is so intermittent and trying to consciously think about every up-shift is not great when trying to concentrate on riding.

You should check/clean the quick shifter where it actually slides in/out at the sensor. I’ve had several of them apart (Aprilia and Ducati Domino-made) and it’s possible for the internal slot/slide/switch activating pin to get dirt/crud into it and cause sticking/binding, etc. If it sticks on the shift and then slips it will cut power like another shift, but you didn’t actually shift. Make sense?

I think it’s the main reason people have trouble with the oem sensor.

Thanks for this, although i had already gave it a quick clean i adjusted the end all the way out (at the sensor end) and there was quite a bit of dirt there. I've now gone to town with contact cleaner, penetrating spray and anything else i had in the garage. That was a few days ago and although i've not done a massive amount of miles since, the issue hasn't re-occurred.......fingers crossed.

Het zit in het slechte contact van de qs stekker.
