Most Recent Complaints
THE STARTER CLUTCH IN MANY DUCATI 848 / 1098 AND 1198 SPORT BIKES FAIL PREMATURELY AROUND 4 - 6 K MILES AND AGAIN WHEN BEING REPAIRED. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES BY NOW. IF NOT ACKNOWLEDGED AND REPAIRED IT CAN CAUSE THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FAIL AT ANY SPEED AND BLOCK THE REAR TIRE. THERE ARE MANY OWNER OF SAID MOTORCYCLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE BUT DUCATI HAS STILL NOT MADE IT A RECALL. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "DUCATI STARTER CLUTCH" OR "DUCATI STARTER SPRAG" REVELS MANY FORUM POSTS FROM AFFECTED CUSTOMERS. I ASKED DUCATI IF THEY HAVE REVISED THE STARTER CLUTCH IN ORDER TO PREVENT FUTURE PROBLEMS BUT DID NOT GET AN ANSWER MASKING ME BELIEVE THAT THEY KEEP IGNORING THIS ISSUE. I WILL SELL MY 1198 BECAUSE I'M NOT WILLING TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE WITH A RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
