Read complaints for DUCATI MTS1200 (2010)
I have encountered (3) complete engine shut-downs (flameouts) on my motorcycle. First incident occurred while in the vehicles "urban" mode (200 miles). At about 20 mph as i was gearing down, the motor suddenly shut off. I immediately pressed the start button, and proceeded on without incident. Attributed the shutdown, at the time,to a new bike enduring its break-in-period.second event happened while attempting to pull out from an intersection (400 miles). I rolled on the throttle, and before i left the clutch out, the engine shut off. I am an experienced motorcyclist. I have stalled motorcycles before. This incident was due to the machine and was a bit scary. Intersection, cross traffic, etc. I re-started the motorcycle, and drove away without incident. Third event transpired at nighttime (1750 miles). This was by far the most alarming of the three. While approaching an intersection, i pulled in the clutch lever to downshift into first gear, (20-25 mph) again, the engine abruptly shut off. Also, when the shut-down occurred, the motorcycles headlights went dark. I was in a predicament. My night-vision was handicapped further by the instrument lights shining toward my eyes. I immediately/cautiously began leaving the clutch lever out as an attempt to regain ignition and lighting(drift start). I had already selected first gear, so, the compression of the engine, was greater than my rear wheel traction, and i began a rear tire skid that was resolved by pulling the clutch lever. I then, with low nighttime visibility, drifted the motorcycle to the roadway shoulder. I then restarted the ducati, and cautiously drove home.i have discovered there are many multistrada owners on the net, at "ducati.ms.", that are experiencingthe unexpected flaw with the 2010 model year.
