HI I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT ANYTHING, JUST ASKING A QUESTION ABOUT A SERIOUS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH MY DUCATI 999S 2004 MODEL. MY FRONT BRAKE SEIZED UP ON ME RECENTLY WITHOUT ME PULLING THE LEVER. THIS RESULTED IN ME NEARLY KILLING MYSELF. I CHECKED YOUR SITE AND NOTICED THERE WAS RECALLS FOR DUCATI 999S 2004- 2005 AND 2006. THIS RECALL WAS IN 2006. I EMAILED DUCATI ASKING THEM IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS IN EUROPE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I RECEIVED A PHONECALL THE NEXT DAY SAYING THAT EUROPE HASN'T HAD ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY DUCATI TO A DUCATI DEALER IN CARDIFF WALES AND THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES FROM THE CALIPERS UP, CHANGED THE BRAKE FLUID AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PR
I HAVE A 2004 DUCATI DS1000 MOTORCYCLE. THE BIKE EXHIBITS A STRONG SHUDDERING BEHAVIOR WHEN MAKING MEDIUM-STRENGTH STOPS STARTING FROM 15-20 MPH. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE BIKE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. ALTHOUGH THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET I FEAR THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD BE CAUSED, ESPECIALLY IF I NEED TO MAKE ANY STEERING INPUT WHILE THIS SHAKING OCCURS. THIS SHAKING IS HIGHLY REPEATABLE AND WAS CONFIRMED BY THE LOCAL DUCATI DEALER, MUNROE MOTORS, DURING MY 600 MILE SERVICE YESTERDAY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BIKE'S GEOMETRY AND THAT DUCATI MAY OR MAY NOT BE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO PROMISED FIX. *AK
AFTER PARKING THE MOTORCYCLE THE CONSUMER TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, BUT THE STARTER WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. CONSUMER HAD TO RESTART THE IGNITION, AND REMOVE THE GROUND WIRE FROM THE BATTERY. CONSUMER FOUND FRAYED WIRES IN THE EXAMINATION OF THE STARTER. THE WIRES WERE REPAIRED, AND MOTORCYCLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY. *AK
