“Upon coming to a stop to make a left turn, while pulling in the clutch to engage first gear, the engine quit, stranding me in the middle of the roadway while attempting to restart motorcycle. Traffic to my rear could collide into me as well as possible cross traffic. This has happened multiple times in multiple situations. No warning lights or messages occurred prior to engine stalling. …”
NHTSA complaint #11437477, filed 2021-10“Upon starting from a stop, then rapidly stopping to avoid vehicle who had unexpectedly stopped in front of me, the engine quit, stranding me in the middle of the intersection while attempting to restart motorcycle. Traffic to my rear could collide into me as well as possible cross traffic. This has happened several times and I have video documentation. Dealer has not been able to duplicate problem. No warning lights or messages occurred prior to engine stalling. …”
NHTSA complaint #11431795, filed 2021-09“When the throttle is off, the revs go down to 0 then bounce back up to idle (most of the time anyway, if it doesn't stall). This happens when I am coming to a stop, downshifting to first/neutral. It is very distracting and with ambient road noise, if you are not paying attention, will catch you offguard and will leave you trying to restart bike while in traffic, cars beeping, and flying past you. very dangerous and needs to be check by Ducati. there are numerous others with the same situation.”
