issue

Hi guys I have a 97 monster 600. Its been a great little bike but has developed a "tinking" sound from the horizontal piston. Ive been told by some that these get piston slap and its nothing to worry about but i just want to get some more opinions on what it may be. I have uploaded a link to...

Gents, Recently on a few occasions my DRL refuses to switch itself on at cold starts. In the dash the DRL flashes on/off to indicate an error of some sort. Funny thing, if I restart the bike after this happens the DRL comes back on normally and doesn't suffer same glitch for the...

Hi all, I am having problems trying to use my front paddock stand, I was given a front & rear paddock stand when I bought the bike, the rear one works ok and is straight forward, the problem is with the front, when I offer it up to the front axle it will not take the weight and the left side...

Heads up for fellow R riders! Keep an eye on your fuel overflow pipe. On mine I have filled it to the neck of the tank when bike is on it's side stand exactly the same as I did on my old v4s (so definitely not overfilled!) After riding several miles if I did a firm stop there would be a...

So I took my bike to the dealer last weekend for the first service. The morning of the bike would spin over but not start ( this is the first issue I have had with it so far ). The no start condition turn the check engine light on. The dealer completed the first service and said the code stored...

First, it's good to be back here after a hiatus of a few years. This forum has always been a wealth of knowledge that I have truly appreciated. And I need to tap into that knowledge once again. Let me apologize in advance for the somewhat lengthy explanation below. But I want to provide as much...

I have had my V4S for a couple weeks now and took it to a bike night. After a few smackdowns I realized that when shifting the bike hesitates/lags. This hesitation is the result of the DQS ignition cut time being way to long. It's so long that it causes the bike to almost buck I was told it...

Aftermarket Rearset Issue Hi all. I purchased Bonamici rearsets for my V4S for Christmas at a really good price and I'm finally getting around to installing them. The right rearset was installed with no issue (even though I lose my rear brake light) and looks great. However, the left side is...

I put all LED's on for brake and turns. All 4 turns stay lit ( but very dim ) when bike is off. They stay on for days. Is there a fix for this? I was going to hook up diode to dash light but that light is an LED. any help is appreciated.

So ive developed the leaking front fork on my base 1199. Thankfully it happened at the end of the season so im not out riding time. Now heres where im looking for some help, I remember reading that the OE seals arent the way to go but i cant find out which ones are the good ones. Can anyone...

UP-MAP Vendor issue? I bought a T800 UP-MAP that I used to flash my 959 after installing the Termi Front Exit Slip-ons"¦ I bought with the first map "959 16 D155 SR" with the free code UP-MAP comes with TERMIGIFT. The app is a bit kludgy but the map did flash with no problem confirmed by the...

Hello, I am writing in hopes that someone on the forum might know whats wrong with my 2012 1199S. I changed the squinter unit (thermostat housing) last weekend, which required me to disconnect all the electrical connectors on the left and right hand side of the bike. After I buttoned the bike...

My v4 has 1500 miles on it and I've done 3 trackday weekends on it without issues. Yesterday, during a cruise around town, three times I ran into an issue where suddenly bike showed following errors all at once: - ABS - DES (Dynamic Suspension) - DSC - Check engine light On top of that...

Hi guys, I have a 2013 Ducati 1199 and one of the low-beam lights have burnt out recently so I went online to look for solutions. I came across this simple tinkering video to do a headlight swap on youtube: rQ5psr7kdV8 In the video, at around 1:41 the video shows the simple process of...

Recently had my kids' 748 SPS serviced by a local independent Ducati specialist in Auckland New Zealand. Part of the agreed service was to replace the in-tank fuel filter. On removing the tank base, the tech found that the breather hoses were not in great shape and needed to be replaced - as he...

Ouch.... Yamaha bosses have issued a public apology to their two factory riders Maverick Vinales and Valentino Rossi after failing to address issues forcing them to qualifying in eleventh and fourteenth positions respectively during this afternoons MotoGP qualifying session at the Red Bull...

Just a reminder to check your rear brake caliper and let your dealer know if your clutch slowly loses feeling. I've been having to bleed air out of my clutch every couple hundred miles, no big deal, but apparently there was a bulletin put out less than 24 hours ago about that issue. Also, my...

Hi Guys Another TuneBoy cruise control question for the 1299. sorry for the long post, just want to be sure its all there so there is less tooing and frowing so to speak. Originally I got the tune and cruise package from Wayne and flashed the ECU all good. Tune worked well and basic start...

Hi guys My bike refused to start this morning. It was getting fuel cause I could smell it and turned over perfectly but just didn't want to ignite. I went for a ride yesterday, got to my destination and when starting the hot bike 5min later, noticed it didn't start the same. You guys know how...

Hi. First time poster on here so hoping someone can help. I have a 1299 and have just had track fairings fitted to it from MotoXPCambi in Italy. The issue I had was the garage that fitted them had to make a bracket to connect the Inertia Unit that sits under the OEM headlights. I did buy...
