Yep, my v4 stalled.

Went for a spirited ride today, stopped at a coffee shop with my buddy (Ducati master tech). We sat for about an hour. Started the bike, everything was fine. Then on the way out there was a tight corner so my clutch was in. As I turned out of the corner and picked up speed, I let the clutch out, and it started chugging. I was going about 25km/h as I looked down. It felt like the chugging when the engine rpm is too low for the gear. (I checked the last couple days and it's smooth with clutch fully disengaged around 20km/h and up). Anyways, so I naturally gave it a bit more throttle and it just chugged again. Clutch in, and stalled. Restarted and no problems since. Opened the fuel cap and no pressure there. My buddy said it might just be a mapping issue when we turned it off when the bike was hot. But when I turned it off, the fan was still going as usual.

Anyways, hoping it's nothing. If it happens again I'll bring it in. Just noting it here for your reference.

Well some things will never change even with a new model. I'm hoping more than anything else the v4 doesn't leak oil like every Ducati I have owned. Here's hoping it's an isolated event. Thanks for posting
 
Interesting. Hopefully it will go away once broken in fully. I know a few of the 1299s used to do the same. Once again could make for an ass pucker moment when you’re trying to clear an intersection.
 
My 1199R stalled occasionally, but never the "chugging". That was weird.

Percolated fuel in the lines ? Bike stood hot . I have had several experiences with this.cars and bikes.
Lycoming engines and continental engines are very prone to this. Yes I know they different.
Just saying .
 
So there are 2 v4's delivered in my city so far. Mine and a friend of mine. His bike stalled while in neutral today as well. So yep, just confirmed that the v4's are built by ducati. :)

Every Panigale I've owned 1199S, 1299S and 1299 Superleggera all suffered stalling when in neutral idoling or coasting to a stop with the clutch in for the first 1000km. I was told from the dealer this because the engine is oversquare, however the V4 is not...

Have you had any problems starting your 1299SL from cold? With mine I have to hit the starter for 5-6 seconds several times then turn the key off/on and then try again several times before it starts. No problem when its hot though.

Yes I had that problem too. Was very embarrassing when people see your $100k won't start. I raised this issue to my dealer at first service and they ran some diagnostics and reset "something" and the problem has been extremely rare now.
 
I've heard removing the charcoal canister helps alleviate stalling issues. I've never experienced this on the 959 but the stalling issue has happened on the V4, it only happened once or twice on the same day within an hour time frame.
 
So 3 v4's delivered in my city. 1 S (mine) and 2 base models. All 3 are experiencing stalling issues, some worse than others. Mine seem to be the least affected so far (knock on wood). One of the base model bikes stalled at idle and wouldn't start back up. Had to be towed to the dealer. Looks like the throttle bodies are out of balance slightly.

Sheesh. I hope this is minor and fixed soon. I am in a hurry like many other folks and have my Speciale on order. Others advise to wait a year or so to get the bugs out of a dramatically new model, and I hope they aren't right in this case!

have 2 ducatis and lucky to say i never have any technical issue with either of them, finger crossed and touch wood, pray mine is safe!! picking it up tomorrow or next monday!!!
 
Stalling issues seem to be common for new Duc models until they get the bugs worked out. Luckily it usually just ends up being an ECU update.
 
Geez, that's why I'm waiting for the 1st year bugs to get sorted out.

I know the charcoal canister was a culprit for hard starts when hot but this seems like a mapping issue. Please keep us posted if you find out what the cause is.
 
My 2016 1299S would stall if it was hot and I coasted with the clutch in.. 2nd yr model with the 1299 displacement, but basically the same as the 1199's for the most part.

Removed the charcoal canister and never stalled again after that.
 
My V4 base has stalled once in a parking lot after starting it up following a meal after a long day's worth of riding. The bike was very hot when it happened.

Had my 600 mile service done today and the dealership said their V4S had a similar issue and removing the evap canister fixed it. I asked if they could remove mine, to which they replied not legally, but the evap canisters have a way of mysteriously falling off during maintenance.

Following the service, they said my evap canister situation is "fixed." Already noticed an improvement in idling, especially on a full tank. Hopefully this means it's just the same issue all the other Panigales had.
