Example complaints

Electrical system: “2009 Ducati monster 1100 has shut off (not stalled) while driving at speed (15 - 30 MPH) on 3 separate occasions causing the rear wheel to lock and the bike to skid until the clutch is disengaged. Bike restarts instantly which seems to indicate that an electrical problem (bad contact?) is causing the engine to die.”

NHTSA complaint #10286768, filed 2009-10, 250 miles

Fuel system: “Plastic gas tank expansion resulted in the tank being fused to the bike. Ducati north america refused to cover the issue even though there is a class action lawsuit filed.”

NHTSA complaint #10760468, filed 2015-08, 1,800 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “While riding on my 2009 Ducati MONSTER 696 motorcycle, I noticed a rubbing sound and felt a sensation of oscillation. When I finally stopped the vehicle, I noticed that the front sprocket of the chaindrive slipped on the transmission spline causing the chain to run out of alignment and acted as a chainsaw cutting into the rear swing arm. I was able to stop the vehicle before an accident could happen. There is significant damage (estimated at $3000). No repairs have occurred yet and wont until I hear from NHTSA. I have photographs of the damage and the motorcycle can be easily inspected.”
