Almost 7000 miles on mine. The ONLY issue besides recalls is the right mirrors keeps tilting down on its own. Dealer just shrugged shoulders and i didnt bother replacing it. Otherwise its perfect which i couldn't say about S1000 that i had before.

Man, I must just be lucky. I have had nothing go wrong with my bike. No smoking, (other than when brand new) no oil leaks, exploding shocks, bolts falling off, brakes failing, bushing coming apart, hoseclamps issues, radiator leaks, fires, floods or tornados.
Since these were all made at the same plant by the same workers I would have to say that someone must have gone over my bike real well pre-delivery. Perhaps the few hundred dollars that I paid to have a Ducati certified mechanic prep my bike were well spent. All of my bolts have small red paint marks on them so I can tell if something is coming loose quite quickly. Things are safety wired too. Knock on wood I guess.
Sorry you all are having such problems.

+1 to that. You have to have a good middle man. I"m well happy with my bike and dealer. I"ve been in the motortrade 30+years and if I had the slightest doubt about my dealers integrity I would have spent my dollar elsewhere. I"ve heard and met all the BS"s and any one can talk the talk. It is a shame that some of you guys out there have had some real crappy experiences that would not have happened if bike had been prepped properly. One day all bikes will be made this way "NOT" lol.

Mine does that too and I ended up finding it was a touch loose at the pivot point
I am hoping this has fixed it but no chance for a ride yet to test.
Damm two full time jobs
