 On three occasions i've had a sudden loss of power while riding at steady throttle at freeway speeds. the bike continues to run, but the power and speed drop dramatically. the power loss lasts between 1 and 2 seconds. on one occasion i noticed the traction control lights appear on the dash; did not notice the other times. have checked with ducati service and no fault codes were seen, and service was unable to reproduce the issue.
