[Ducati] Do 1098's have ECU problems?

[Tom Russ]

I'd have to agree...mine doesn't stall and neither do the majority!  That said, there are too many that do but I also believe the majority of them could be fixed with a proper setup.

  NO! mine didn't stall. always ran fine.
  New Termi's, new Race ecu and it runs fine as well ( seems a bit rich maybe )
  no stalling and not down on power

  Some owners have had trouble most haven't. It really seems to be down to dealer setup.

    I took the following off another forum (Subaru Owners). I was just wondering if there is any truth to what this guy is saying.


    The 1098 was 25k out the door. If anyone is thinking about it don't bother. The ECU is total garbage. After running the bike for a 
    while it stalls out and won't start again. A guy had it happen to him while riding Isle of Man and the bike went down. He slid for a 
    while until he was hit by a car. 90% of them do this...

    The "replacement ECU" makes the bike run at 1800 RPM warm or cold an is down on power. Lot's of the guys on Ducati forum are pissed 
    and since the only tech support is in California, this isn't going to get resolved any time soon. Maybe 1 in 20 new ECU's fixed the 
    problem without causing new ones.

    Oh well, first run bikes, first run cars, same thing. Always shit for the first year.
