r/Ducati

I’ve owned this bike for 6 months. I’m debating selling it but I can’t seem to do so yet.

I had to iron out a few tweaks after she sat for so long. Third ride, final drive grenaded out the side of the engine case. Oil went everywhere and I found a coin size hole in my crankcase.

Thank God I paid for a warranty, would have cost 7k+ for repairs. Fortunately I only had to cover clutch plates. On the bright side, I now have a new transmission and clutch plates plus other engine parts.

After getting it back, I shortly had to send it back off for a crankcase reseal as it was not properly done so after the rebuild. I had to cover the diagnose fee but I do feel like that was their mistake for not doing it properly the first time and was pretty salty about paying for that.

Now… she’s having compression issues. Under VERY spirited driving, she gets bogged down. Throttle backs off, RPMs dip and then it comes back on sluggishly. No issues unlesss I’m getting after it, you know… on the track…

I have a consultation scheduled with my favorite Ducati mechanic from another shop. Depending on how that goes will determine if I keep it.

I’ve ridden other Ducati’s. But none take the cake in terms of thrill. V4s are probably better suited for sustained high speeds, better quick shifter and such. However, this bike is raw, unrelenting and Hot… will be sad if I see her go. No bike except the late 90s early 10s era of 916 bike come close to the sleek style, lack of aggressive curves and overall look.

Hi there, I’ve got a problem. My bike throws up ABS and DTC errors when I turn the handlebars from left to right, but it doesn't trigger anything when turning from right to left. The error only appears during that left-to-right movement, specifically when the handlebars are almost fully straightened out. The quickshifter also locks up while riding, but only in first gear; I have to use the clutch for that gear, but the subsequent gears work fine with the quickshifter again. I initially wondered if it might be related to the tires, since they were completely worn out when the issue first started. I’m not really an expert on this stuff, though—the bike is just too electronically complex. I’ve traced the wiring from the front ABS sensor all the way through and tried bending the cables in various ways to see if the error would trigger, but nothing happened. It’s really strange because, as I mentioned, it only happens when moving the handlebars from left to right; even a tiny movement as I approach the center position is enough to make the warning lights flash immediately.

I’ve been lurking around this sub for years, but never actually posted anything ,so I figured this was a good excuse for a first post.

I recently put around +3,500 km on my Scrambler Nightshift 24, riding through some absolutely incredible roads and landscapes in Spain.
Ended up filming way more than I expected, so when I decided to turn it into this little film.

I’m definitely not a professional filmmaker I just enjoy motorcycles, travelling and playing with CapCut but I had a lot of fun putting this together.
Would genuinely love some feedback… I’m all ears.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Rode my 900ss up mount Hamilton this morning, the view is crazier at night, pictures don’t really do it justice.

Love this old thing but I think the moving to the Bay Area is looking to be the end of my riding journey, drivers suck out here and it’s scares me from riding much :/

Sucks cuz the most beautiful roads are out here in NorCal

Title says it all. Decided to take some pics before help arrived 😃.

Had to do a little work to get it straightened out, but added this 2015 Streetfighter 848 to the stable…
