I have had the "freewheeling" thing when changing down from 3rd to 2nd at low speeds , it's feels like the bike is still in 3rd but if you change down again you are in 1st , quite disconcerting. It only happens if you are at low revs

My dealer has been in touch with Ducati and JHP about it and it seems most 749R's are having the same problem , watch this space

The dealer also told me that the day before my R arrived , a replacement ECU arrived with the message "fit this before PDI" , the bike seems to run fine , I have heard that JHP have had problems with one bike misfiring at high revs though , that may be the reason for the 3rd generation ECU required , no doubt there will be a recall if it's found all the bikes need one
