In my experience the bikes don't like that, far better to decelerate with the clutch engaged and only then disengage it when you come to a stop.
so did a 250 mile ride and stopped had breakfast after 75 miles bike was at 2 bars on temp gauge. it started shuttering again like it wanted to die tried adding fuel nothing . pulled in clutch rps dropped down to like 500 but the bike kept running . tried letting the clutch out again and shuttered again and and again like no fuel mind you i'm at 5k in 1st .
Then i pulled in the clutch reved it to 9k and let it drop til i could drop into 2nd and it cleared up . rode it for 150 more miles with even a fuel stop and had no issues .
ive about had it this will be the 4th time to go to the shop for just the fuel problem . 3 times for clutch problems .![]()
It's my first Ducati, so I guess I'm not much help with the comparisons.
My experience with the stalling has been with the clutch in, coasting while deaccelerating at idle. I think I've had it happen four times in 1000 miles. No chugging, roughness or anything of note, just stalled. After restarting everything is normal.
I'm due for three recalls that I know of (oil cooler, timing chain tensioner and clutch) and will have them check it at that time. I bought my V4S in June, so maybe there was an ecu update for the Akrapovic tune. I'm going to arrange for the second oil change at the same time, so it might be a month or more. I'll be sure to post if I receive any information as to why the stalling is happening.

I know this is kind of an old post to get a reply from, but did you ever resolve this issue?
my SFV4 is facing the issue now and no solutions as of now.
Maybe bad fuel or something to do with stabilizer ?Anyway I’ll get new stabilizer this season (different brand) and seeOn my first ride of this season in May after being winterized with stabilizer last year(Oct) , it did exactly the same ….stalling …wanting to shut off during idle and it even stalled twice on the road …once even on the freeway but luckily I was in right lane and was aware of the issue .Immediately clutch in and start button ,it fired up right away.Every time it stalled ,it would start the first time with minimal effort .Took it to the dealer and they hooked it to the computer but couldn’t find any error codes.Hasn’t stalled since and I’ve put 5500 kms since then .Bike has Ducati Akrapovic slip ons with the Racing map done by the Ducati dealer .

Probably because you don’t have the evap canister anymore. The akrapovic exhaust kit removes it.May I add something else here? I’m noticing strong fuel smell in the garage after riding the bike hard ?Is it normal or a known issue with these bikes?If I leave the bike outside for sometime and then bring it in ,it’s much better.
