What owners report
I OWN A 2012 DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE. I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND IT IS JUST 3 MONTHS OUT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. THE MOTORCYCLE IS 100% STOCK AND HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED. THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE FAIRING/BODY PANEL IS MELTING/BURNING DUE TO EXHAUST HEAT. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF THESE EXACT ISSUES ON THE SAME MOTORCYCLES ( ACROSS THE COUNTRY). DUCATI ISSUED A NEWER VERSION OF LOWER RIGHT SIDE FAIRING WHICH FIXED THIS ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR MOTORCYCLES ALREADY SOLD WITH DEFECTIVE PART. MY DEALER, BARNETTE SUZUKI AND DUCATI IS NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE FAIRING WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM DUCATI USA. THIS IS A FIRE AND SAFETY ISSUE. IF I CONTINUE TO USE THE M
MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM 3RD TO 1ST GEAR. ALSO IN A STOPPING SITUATION MOTORCYCLE IS HARD TO GET FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR OR TO FIND NEUTRAL. *TR
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. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE KICKSTAND SUDDENLY BECAME DETACHED AND ACTIVATED THE KICKSTAND SAFETY SWITCH, ALSO CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE KICKSTAND WOULD NOT REMAIN ENGAGED AND WOULD CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO FALL TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS THAT WERE ATTACHED TO THE KICKSTAND BECAME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.
I CURRENTLY HAVE A ENGINE LEAK ON MY DUCATI MOTORCYCLE. I WAS RIDING AND NOTICED A BURNT OIL SMELL. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LEAK ON LEFT SIDE CASING. I TOOK TO DUCATI TO REPORT AND REPAIR. DUCATI IS STILL TAKING ALOT OF TIME TO MAKE A CHOICE ON WHAT TO DO. STILL ISN'T REPAIRED AND NOW LEAK HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND GOT ON MY TIRES AND ALMOST CRASHED. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUY DUCATI AND STILL NOT MAKING ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX IN A SPEEDY MANOR. I AM WORRIED THAT IS A NEWER RIDER WITHOUT MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE GETS SAME ISSUE IT COULD BE A MAJOR INCIDENT. MY DISPLAY WHICH TELLS ENGINE TEMP, SPEED AND RPM'S IS INOP AND FALLING APART. IT NOT ONLY IS UNSAFE TO RIDE BUT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN AND
