starter

Hey, I wanted to get into riding motorcycles now that i have some financial room and wanted to see if you guys have any advice on where to start? I spoke to some friends and they said to enroll in a motorcycle course to get your license. They also mentioned that having a motorcycle license...

Hi All, I am addressing some wear related issues and need help with sourcing some parts. I found reference to them so I can identify each but I don't think the indicated part IDs are Ducati numbers. I would be grateful for the Ducati article numbers of the indicated parts and eventually for a...

Lowsided at the track last week. Bike came out of it really well, just a scratched fairing and the clipon tube snapped. Everything remained intact, just a scraped bar end. Today I went to start the bike up, turned the key, pump primes and everything is normal. Hit the starter button, nothing...

Hi, I just ordered a Motolectric HICAP starter kit for my Ducati 1299s. Does anyone have a pic or knows where the position of the solenoid and starter-motor is? - that would save me some time looking for them :) Apparently same position as the 1199.

Just curious if anyone out there is running the tuneboy stuff (cruise control specifically) and the BSD race switches. I am 99% sure it will work the same since the switches use the same wiring as the stock buttons, but I guess it can't hurt to check. Also, any comments on the cruise control...

Bike won't start? Won't run at all? Guys, the STARTER may not be the problem. Some of our starter problems may not be starter problems after all (at least not starter housing or starter motor). Might be something as simple as loose leads. My bike wouldn't start. Wouldn't turn over...

Has anyone had to replace their starter yet? Bike left me stranded today, local luckily. Fuel pump still works, starter relay still engages, no popped fuses, kick stand switch operates correctly and push start turns motor over cleanly. Checked the starter, have 12v at leads. Also have greasy...

Went out on the bike yesterday and made a few stops throughout the day. After my last stop, bike wouldnt start (was hot). It sounded as thought the battery was getting weaker and weaker and then finally it just clicked. Power to everything though. Tried to bump start it, it started and then...

Went in to have my shop check out my right side fairing for a possible warranty situation of a stress crack and ended up leaving my baby there due to a starter that decided to take a .... right then. And here I thought I was going to get away with only seeing one of the issues Ive read so much...

Hi my Ducati 1199S has just been collected by the dealer as it broke down as I was waiting at the traffic lights. Tried to start up again but the starter motor just made a wizzing sound as if it was not engaging. The problem with the stalling is quite frequent. Has anyone else had the same...

Good morning everyone! Just thought I would share my frustration. My Base-ABS had the warm start problem from day 1. I just had my first service done and the bike now has 1500 KM on it. Yesterday I wanted to go back ridding after a short pause... Wouldn't start. On previous occasions I would...

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...
