All Engine And Engine Coolingengine Complaints
I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE, A 2010 DUCATI STREETFIGHTER, WHEN THE ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE I WAS LEANED OVER IN A SLOW TURN (10-15MPH). THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEEL, AND BECAUSE I WAS IN A TURN, IT CAUSED THE REAR WHEEL TO SLIDE, CAUSING ME TO WRECK MY MOTORCYCLE. THE ENGINE OF A MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NEVER, EVER TURN OFF WHILE RIDING (I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS, TURN THE IGNITION KEY OR TOUCH THE KILL SWITCH). THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE KILLED ME, HAD IT HAPPENED IN THE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE CONTACTED DUCATI NORTH AMERICA, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. PREVIOUSLY THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURED 3 OR 4 TIMES TO ME WHILE RIDING, BUT NEVER WHILE IN A TURN, SO IT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO CRASH. I NORMALLY JUST RESTARTED THE BIKE AND DROVE ON. I DID NOT REALIZE THE DANGER...
