Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Sep 29, 2025
2019 Ducati Multistrada MTS1200S. Bought brand new. The bike constantly stalls when pulling in the clutch coming to a stop. Bike is completely stock. No issues with air filter or fuel. The bike does it intermittently and has almost caused a couple of crashes on the highway when coming into traffic. Bike will stall in backed up traffic on the highway or coming to a red light, then cars behind start moving while traffic starts speeding up and I am having to get the bike restarted. Very dangerous. Not rideable.
Service Brakes · reported Aug 3, 2025
Rear brake becomes ineffective after a period of time. The brake becomes soft, spongy and does not work properly. I've had the dealer check the brakes, bleed them, replaced the fluid and it will work ok for a short time but then the problem returns. The pedal needs a lot of pressure to actuate the rear brake and eventually it doesn't really work at all.

1. When pulling in the clutch approaching a stop sign or light, the engine RPM's drop down through idle and the bike stalls. 2. There is traffic behind me doesn't initially know the bike has stalled and starts to move forward. I have almost been hit several times. The same safety issues occurs when coming to a stop, as the bike may not restart immediately. I also have to take my attention away from the traffic in front of me to restart the engine. 3. I purchase the bike used and do not know if it was reviewed by a dealer. I have not done so. Ducati is well aware of this problem, as it has been…
Service Brakes · at 300 miles · reported Apr 6, 2021
The motorcycle's rear brake is almost non-existent. Very "mushy" when the pedal is pressed and you must press very hard to get the calipers to bite the rotor. This is very noticeable during low speed riding.
