Engine cooling: “(1) bike is in neutral or clutch is disengaged while coming to a stop or while at a stop. (2) the bike just shuts itself off without warning. (3) dealership claims ecu needed to be fix by Ducati north america, but this did not fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10195991, filed 2007-07, 2 milesFuel system: “On most Ducati motorcycles with a plastic fuel tank, the tank has been known and does indeed deform. It is said to affect motorcycles built as far back as they have used a plastic tank. It is said it is because of the ethanol in fuel sold here in the states, but now it is starting to happen in europe as well. The tank swells and deforms until it no longer will seat or seal properly causing a serious health and safety risk. My own motorcycle, a Ducati 1098 made in 2007 is also in this group. …”
