Will the stalling ever stop??

I'm not sure the same thing is happening to me since it doesn't happen at idle, but it's temporally associated with having my bike tuned, ECU remap for race mode, but sport mode left stock.

I was riding home, got on the freeway and after about 15 minutes, 70 or so mph the engine just cuts off. Engine light comes on. I coast to the side of the road, cycle the fuel pump a few times and nothing. Engine error light still on. I turn it off, then on again after about 10 minutes, engine error light is gone starts up and runs fine to get me home. Called Ducati and of course they said they didn't think it was related to the tune.

Went out today just to see and after about 15minutes, same thing happens. This time at about 40mph, engine cuts out, engine error light comes up. Waited 15 minutes then it started.

I'm going to have them come and pick it up to look at it, but I wonder if this is related to the TPS and A/F?
Yeah that is definitely not the same problem I had. Cutting out/off at speed is a far more serious problem than shutting off when coming to a stop. I doubt it's related to an out of sync tps or A/F ratio?
 
I've got just over 300 miles on my bike and I've already stalled well over 10 times at a red light and once while I was engine braking n coming to a stop doing about 15mph (scary feeling). It has stalled a few times right after starting the bike (in neutral) and letting it warm up and most of the stalls have occurred during traffic. I know this is a race bike and all that but is this normal? I know some of you have mentioned stalling at a light or whatever but is it once in a blue moon for you guys or often? I'm almost paranoid about engine braking now to the point where I pull in the clutch around 20mph as I'm slowing down. I just don't trust the bike at all. Is this a fueling issue or does the bike just struggle to keep those twin pistons strokin as the rpm's dip low (2.5k or less). I'm waiting for my first service to take it into the dealer to see if there's anything they can do about it but I wanted to hear feedback from fellow owners of this bike.

As if that isn't bad enough, my lower right side fairing is already turning yellowish brown so I'll have to get that piece exchanged as well. Mannnn, such a gorgeous bike but damn, these problems are crazy.


Have the dealer also check the gear position indicator on your gear lever. Mine caused the bike to cut out while idling in neutral. They can reset or reflash that component. It may not be the same problem but I just thought I would mention it. It was a very quick job for the dealer and they did it under warranty and no problems since. Good luck with it.
 
Yeah I am having the same problem I have about 1100 miles on the bike it stalled about 6-7 times always when stopped dealer said it normal for new bikes

Lol... wtf?? Dealers.... Gotta love 'em...
This is not normal.... it needs adjusting/repairing
 
.... talking to the dealers/service reps, talk with the mechanics. If they are honest human beings, they will tell the truth. If your dealers/service reps are shitbags, trailer down to Tampa and I will introduce to a mechanic and service manager that absolutely refuse to .... around with customer service. No .... .... games in EuroCycles service department. Bar none.

I also support the TPS adjustment. My mechanic fired up his Ducati software and had me watch as he flipped through the menus while looking for a mysterious 41T map (which was never found). He pointed at the throttle sensor numbers and said that the common cause of the stall if these are out of whack.
