ok, from what i know its only only the 748/749 r models

it was worse on the 748r by all accounts (which is what i have)

It doesn't cut out on corners or such (well mine certaily never has) its when you shut off completly so letting the fuel pool and the sensors cut the engine, nbot something you would do mid corner (neil etc may quote me differently on this).

I don't believ it happens on any of the 996/998 models although when idling i think some bikes may stop anyway...not certain on this, ask one of the others...

All the more reason to get a 996/998 really.

i think the 749/999's just take a bit more setting up. once done correctly then run superbly.

This has been an on-going problem with my 999r , I've ran the race system and the correct ecu supplied from new. I had the idle increased this weekend but still the bike cuts out after a long blast, or when I'm going to pull away, even though the bike operating temperature.
My bike is booked in for a full set up /dyno run etc.
My worry is that there seems to be a wide spread problem, this leads on to the big question ( a hot topic last week )about fitting power commanders, is this the only answer , or should Ducati be holding their hands up????

i think you have to put it in perspective. There will always be issues with bikes, no matter what make. Ducatis are always highlighted as having problems and being troublesome, but as has been said here once set up right they run great.

Go and buy one you will love it

20k and 14k motorcycles , then customer has to splash out another £500 smackers for a power commander and set-up. I love owing the thing only if it would run correctly. I with Pedro on this one , not prepared to push it under the carpet.

As Lilly says , both our 748R's when we had them and my 749R only cut out when standing at traffic lights etc , and only every now and again , it's not as big a deal as some people are trying to make out

I notice someone has posted that their bike cuts out when freewheeling in neutral.........why would you do that ?
