issues

Took off my wheels easily to take them down to a bike shop to get replaced. Now to put the front wheel back on im going crazy or something. Has anyone done it yet and know what to do? Do i need a special tool or something

If this is true, it will be pretty sweet not to replace the dash and have the miles set back to zero. Check out the details I got back from my dealer. Strange coincidence. An announcement from DNA just showed up in my inbox regarding 1199 left side switch housing failure. Apparently there is...

Got my Panagale S back from the dealer. Just got the software update. The bike ran great. I took it out for a couple short runs. Just went out for a few hours and the bike won't turn over and start. First 80 degree day. I decided to try and crack the throttle while holding the starter. It...

Hi I have just got my bike back from the 1000km service and I have a new, major issue! On the 70km ride home from the dealer the engine cut out 13 times due to the side stand indicator light coming on (and so the bike thinks the stand is down). If this was not bad enough, on three other...

I have just completed dyno testing of the cruise control and mapping on the Panigale. While testing the cruise control I got down next to the bike and had a look at the rear basketball hoop, it was glowing red hot. The cruise speed was set to 80 kph and the dyno had 20% load. Throttle position...

My dealer just called me today to let me know that Ducati has sent an email out addressing the heat and are preparing to send out update kits to address the issues on the 1199! Sounds like some new parts are on the way!

Any tips guys? I'm trying to stay calm. I have the copper nut that won't come off that is just stripping and the exhaust plug cap seized in the manifold with a broken allen key in it... Seriously, I've got my tail between my legs on this one. I've already ordered new plugs and nuts. Now to...

I just had my DP alarm installed and the dashboard LED light does not blink anymore. Does anyone eles's dashboard LED still blink when the DP alarm is enabled?

FIT THE COMFORT SEAT !! I've been riding Pani a week now and agree there is a fair amount of heat produced by this motor, although what I have found is that the discomfort this generates is exacerbated by the need to keep your knees clamped around the tank to stop your balls getting smashed...

I was having intermitent horn and signal malfunctions. Occasionally, my right turn signals would not work (front and back, and on dash) and the horn would not work when this occured. A temporary fix for this was to turn off the bike and let the ECU reset; however, the issue would always come...

Having done my first Track Day on the Panigale recently at Silverstone my rear tyre is shagged !!. I have done track days on my previous bikes..RSV4 & S1000rr with no issues. Just wondering if its suspension set up ?? or something else ?? This was on the National circuit, for those that don't...

Hi Both My brother and i have base with ABS models ..My Brother three weeks ago had a strange problem with his tail lights.Basically both the turn signals and brake light were flashing at the same time as soon as he turned on the ignition.This was only on the rear not the front which were not...

Aussie guys who have their bikes, have you experiences any of the soft paint or easy chipping / scratching issues reported a while ago? I pick mine up on Tuesday and am wondering if protection is necessary right off the bat. cheers fellas, 1199exxon

Called in the dealer today, and they told me of an issue ive not heard of before. apparently they are having to replace the starter motor on there demo as its packed in. They blame the stop-start riding sessions with the battery not having enough time to charge itself, therefore putting more...

So I have done the exhaust valve mod involving disconnecting the cable, however, now it seems I am experiencing some issues that I didn't have prior to disconnecting the valve. Wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing similar issues"¦or am I just imagining things. Since disconnecting...

Hey guys, Had my first service on Saturday. Cannot believe the acceleration now that its run in, insane!! Anyway, I had the ducati tail tidy installed and the alarm. Its not working properly, it arms fine, but will only sound if i turn the key in the ignition. Moving it, shaking it does...

Has anyone noticed the flapper valve is open at start up (when it should be shut to help noise tests) and then at around 3200rpm it shuts when cruising or going down hill and only opens after you open the throttle some way which causes it to suddenly open and lurch forward! not good and is a...

Hi all, Wondering about this. Has anyone taken delivery of 1199 with STOCK exhaust, any issues with stumbling, surging in the 3500-4k rpm range? My early build streetfighter with the euro 3 tuning is awful. I've also heard of some of the mts 1200s having this issue. Can anyone that has...
