| 08/07/2010 | 200 | ||
| I have encountered (3) complete engine shut-downs (flameouts) on my motorcycle. first incident occurred while in the vehicles urban mode (200 miles). at about 20 mph as i was gearing down, the motor suddenly shut off. i immediately pressed the start button, and proceeded on without incident. attributed the shutdown, at the time, to a new bike enduring its break-in-period. second event happened while attempting to pull out from an intersection (400 miles). i rolled on the throttle, and before i left the clutch out, the engine shut off. i am an experienced motorcyclist. i have stalled motorcycles before. this incident was due to the machine and was a bit scary. intersection, cross traffic, etc. i re-started the motorcycle, and drove away without incident. third event transpired at nighttime (1750 miles). this was by far the most alarming of the three. while approaching an intersection, i pulled in the clutch lever to downshift into first gear, (20-25 mph) again, the engine abruptly shut off. also, when the shut-down occurred, the motorcycles headlights went dark. i was in a predicament. my night-vision was handicapped further by the instrument lights shining toward my eyes. i immediately/cautiously began leaving the clutch lever out as an attempt to regain ignition and lighting(drift start). i had already selected first gear, so, the compression of the engine, was greater than my rear wheel traction, and i began a rear tire skid that was resolved by pulling the clutch lever. i then, with low nighttime visibility, drifted the motorcycle to the roadway shoulder. i then restarted the ducati, and cautiously drove home. i have discovered there are many multistrada owners on the net, at ducati.ms., that are experiencing the unexpected flaw with the 2010 model year. | |||
