Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While at a stop, motorcycle starts moving while the clutch is fully engaged. Motorcycle needs to be shut off to prevent it from going forward at a red light or stop sign. Can lead to a fatal accident if I'm stopped and motorcycle starts riding forward with the clutch engaged. Happens every single time after I've been riding for about 25 - 30 minutes. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”
NHTSA complaint #10681058, filed 2015-02, 1,900 miles“Ducati 1199 PANIGALE clutch issue: clutch system (slave, pushrod, disk(s), etc.) began binding after departing 600 mile (required) service appointment. The problem initially surfaced as intermittent on warm/hot days when the motorcycle was in operation and water temperature was above 170f. The issue became more pronounced with use, and by 800 miles, was constant - either cold or hot. The vehicle has been in 4 times for service for same/related issue(s), and the manufacturer has failed to repair.”
