2012 DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE Engine Problems

MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM 3RD TO 1ST GEAR. ALSO IN A STOPPING SITUATION MOTORCYCLE IS HARD TO GET FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR OR TO FIND NEUTRAL. *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE A ENGINE LEAK ON MY DUCATI MOTORCYCLE. I WAS RIDING AND NOTICED A BURNT OIL SMELL. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LEAK ON LEFT SIDE CASING. I TOOK TO DUCATI TO REPORT AND REPAIR.

THE COMMON FACTORS HAVE BEEN DOWNSHIFTING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-20 MPH WITH THE CLUTCH ENGAGED. IN EACH CASE I WAS ABLE TO...
