View Full Version : Desperate!!! - 998S Stutter between 2.5K & 5K rpm...:-(
My 998S has developed a stutter between 2.5k & 5K rpm
Happens on open & constant throttle - okay before & after....
All electrical system short of replacing the loom has been checked - all fine
Just had a 12k service etc

Any ideas.......

Sounds like fuelling to me, check Pc if you run one also injectors & TPS.
Tim - check your mobile - the R6 is booked!!!! as are the pirelli diablo supercorsas, paddock stands etc etc
Bring it on
Chaz - PC has been checked & disconnected
What is TPS...
Thx
Throttle position sensor.
Nice one mister, you can play with us other traitors on non Ducatis :D
hope you get it sorted soon though!!
TPS (now I know what it is!!) has been checked too....:-)
Not sure injectors have - is that part of a 12k service....
Lily - I know!! - what are you on.......
Was think of getting an ex BSS R6 late last year.....then the credit crunch hit.............mmmmmmmmm.........be a good chance to try one out
Ta everyone
Oi - Tim - do you like my new avatar...........:-D
Meant to say
Swopped the race ecu for std ecu and it still had the same stutter - that's with the PC disconnected....mmmm

Had a the same on mine at Portimao. Removed one of the shims from the ign pick up sensor. All ok after that. ;)
Just read your original post again. Mine was totally cutting out, then cutting in again. Sounds different to the problems you are having, sorry :(
Like this - sorry couldn't find a real bike just an anorak....
Just get an R6! You know it makes sense ;)
TP - I have!!
I thought you just rented one. Or have you bought one, that's what I meant.
I'm really leaning that way now and getting a lot closer to being in a position to getting one hopefully. Watch this space over the next few months!
No - rented one for Portimao from FE....
Try before you buy...........:-)

Ahh ok, well that's a good idea I suppose. I'd just buy one but then I've ridden one before so I know what I want. You'll probably just want one.
And hopefully I'll have mine by the end of August! And race it next year, fingers crossed.
Oh, if I do get it before the next No Limits trip to Portimao I'll be well up for that!
ill give you 3000 fior the old 998...............:)
TP - Cash allowing & assuming I like it - I'll be doing Nov too......maybe with an R6 but more likely my 998 - but you never know!!
Andyb - in your dreams - that is one sweet bike (okay without the stutter....) - I'll let you have the STM evo 48t slipper & 54m ti system for 3k.....& only if you're nice......

i thought that was a good price beens its broke......although i aknowledge its not been ridden hard........:D
It's not broke.....just an annoying electical problem....
How can you say that after all the time we've spent on track together :-P
TP - one each:

They look good to me.............a bit white for me...but then I hear that' white is the new black (ie see Rattlers bike!!)
I better start saving
i noticed a road going 06 plate in blue at my local honda dealer, remus exhaust etc...........£4700........??
Had a similar problem on 996 last year and finally tracked it down to a split in the rubber fuel line directly after the pump. This means going into the tank but you can combine it with a fuel filter change which is how I found the problem.
Hope this helps.

wouldnt fuel filter chnage be part of a 12k service? in which case maybe moving things made it worse

Good suggestion! This reminds me of a chat I had with Ducati John the other week as he was sorting a 996 or similar with just that problem at the time. Apparently it is quite common and is only a 20 minute job to fix.
Just seen this.........
Thanks for the suggestion
