Electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator
Problem: Ducati is recalling 7,130 my 2007-2008 1098, 1098s, 1098 tricolore, 1098r, and my 2008-2009 848 motorcycles. The motorcycle charging system may be adversely affected by engine heat and stop operating. This results in damage to the voltage regulator and ensuing battery discharge.
Risk: This can result in damage to the motorcycle and a potential hazard to the rider, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the voltage regulator, install a heat guard between the voltage regulator and the engine exhaust system, and install a modified battery support. The recall will begin on december 24, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696.
Power train
Problem: Ducati is recalling 3,614 my 2007-2008 1098, 1098s, and 1098 tricolore motorcycles. The rear drive sprocket can fail.
Risk: If the sprocket were to fail while the motorcycle is being driven, it is possible that the motorcycle will experience a sudden loss of power and/or the chain may become entangled with the chassis. This can result in a crash without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rear drive sprocket. The recall began on june 25, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 1-408-253-0499.
Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the electronic control unit (ecu) ignition timing and idle mixture were improperly set during production causing the engine speed to drop and stall the engine when the temperature of the cooling system exceeded 180f.
Risk: If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the ecu mapping using a dedicated diagnostic system instrument (dds) free of charge. The recall began on february 8, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 201-264-8327.
