Life with a Ducati 1299...

Oh no mate that's not good mate!! What's going on?

 

Well, putting a positive spin on things, I'm "pleased" to see that it appears undamaged.: My conclusion, fwiw, being that at least it didn't display the same killer gene that plagued it's predecessor.?

 

It lit up like this hazards flashing. I pulled over and stopped then it wouldn't start. Dealer says bike won't even communicate with their diagnostic equipment at the minute.

Oh and I left my fucking jeans at the side of the road getting my Ducati card out the bottom of my bag. Not happy.

 

Is it just an optical illusion BDTD, but that brake fluid looks very dark for such a new bike.?

Beats having lucky pants.!

 

My bet is a damaged wire somewhere, with the can system it must be so easy for a single wire to cause the whole thing to fall over!

 

That's a Panigale feature mate. You should see the rear! Something to do with the heat they say.

 

On the plus side they come with a window to see how much oil you’ve used, not multiple length dipsticks with a hit and hope mark on it.

 

Well, at least it's pretty to look at whilst waiting for the recovery truck...

 

Oh my days!!! Feeling for you!

 

Gutted for you, hope its a quick fix

 

what have they given you as a loaner mate?

 

Well i was getting a Multistrada but it wouldn't start! Wrong key it turns out.

They gave me a 2008 Monster 696. It was the old shitter i had last year but it's been fully serviced and had some brand new matt black bodywork and tyres and it actually looks properly good!

Slow as fuck though...

 

Bad times. I dread these sites as going away on my duke in June. Sorry for you bud

 

Oh they had 2 959s in stock and i have to say it looks way better in white than red. Somehow it helps absorb the visual impact of the cans.

 

Sad to see the Pani on the back of the trailer. Hope this is a simple issue/quick fix...

No 959 loan then? Did the Ducati chaps say how they are selling compared to the 899/1299?

 

Omdz well at least the Ducati is living up to its reputation!! On a serious note really hope its a quick fix and nothing serious

 

Lovely front end though in the corners! I felt like it was uncrashable on the front end when I had one for the day....

 

Any news on the 1299

 

Not a bean mate. Back in Mancunia Riviera Friday so hoping for some answers then.

 

Spoke to dealers. They got her running today. They are working through the sensors and connectors to trace what caused it.
