Hello and welcome.

I sincerely hope that it is not the same problem that I had.

At 4500 miles and thankfully under warranty my engine did as you described.

It turns out that a small grub screw in the crank had worked loose and machined itself to pieces destroying the big end bearing



Good luck as i said I hope that I am wrong, it is a know fault "which only happens rarely so Ducati have done nothing about it" to quote a Ducati mechanic
