Not sure if it's a common problem. But my Starter Solenoid died on my 999s after about 8 months of ownership. It went without any warning. There were no error codes on the display at the time.
I bought the bike new. So it was all repaired under warranty.(
I had to be rescued from WSB Brands last summer. It was a drag sitting in the field until 10 o'clock at night.:
