My fucking Ducati just broke down..
    #23606200 - 09/02/16 09:15 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

This one:



I was just leaving work at midnight and it died as I got to the end of the road. Luckily I know the building maintenance guys and security guys so I had a good homeand good company to wait with while I got recovered, but based on the conditions I've observed on the bike I think I'm gonna be looking at a £2,500+ repair bill. I am so pissed. I had just managed to save that money for my big move to Aus and now it's gonna get raped from my pocket due to my love for Italian bikes.

I've just been dropped off at home by the recovery people. I've necked some vodka and had a little PCP to deal with the pain but I need to vent about it and all my local friends are asleep (it's 4am) but I know my Shroomery crew is always online.

Ever had the pain of a vehicle you love breaking down on you and knowing you're gonna have to rape your savings to rescue it?

Fuck. Cunt. Fucking, fuck. I hate to sound cliche (fuck it, I always do) but my bikes are like women to me. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Please, somebody share some stories of loss, grief, and general pissed-off-ness so I don't feel so alone...

Well, it's a disso, so if you know K, PCP is like its wacky grandfather. It makes me feel warm, and like I wanna laugh, which is kinda what you need when a part of you wants to cry...

I was a motorcycle mechanic. I had lots of bikes stop or do weird shit on the road.

I once was miles into a dirt road in Arizona, a few miles from the nearest town. The sun had gone down, it was pitch black dark, and my bike stopped. I couldn't get it to start back up. I had to push it through the dirt for however many miles it was, and had to hitch hike back to my town.

What did your bike do? Any symptoms?

Fucking pulled out of the underground carpark at work, got 50m down the road, dash starts flashing like crazy, engine dies, fans running, errors on dash, she's like a christmas tree:



And then nothing. No start on the button. No joy on a bump.

Research says the front coil is likely fried, which has likely fried the ECU, which has then likely fried the dash. Plus I git the DESMO service due in <1000m.

I am so fucked. Like, it actually physically hurts right now.

:lol: Ive totaly felt that helpless pain caused by motorcycle problems, for some people, motorcycles are like family members. But im sure the problems won't go too deep.

Did you check to see if the plugs still spark?

Did you ever mess with any wires in the bike? Could be a busted fuse somewhere that's got the ignition circuit stuck open. Maybe some loose electronics or a loose wire touching something. (Grounding)

I see a normal unfried dash in the pic..

Oops thats not your dash

No, a Coil supplies the spark to the cylinder, and the ECU controlls it all, and the dash is well, the dash.

I'm hoping for the best, but as we all know, that don't often work in life. The whole thing is probably fried like a pancake and I am very, very upset.

Thanks trees, your empathy means a lot to me right now. They're like pets, and when they get sick, a part of you is in so much pain.

I checked all fuses at roadside (as difficult as Ducati wanna make that shit). The pic is not my dash, but similar. But, yanno, it's like my baby, and she won't come to life. I'll bring her back eventually, but the headaches, and strains on my wallet, and brain, and stress are a fucker.

Mind you, she's only metal. And I feel kinda a cunt for making such a fuss about it when we've only so recently lost a living, breathing, beautiful part of our community.

But I think you empathise man, and that's exactly what I needed right now. Thank you man, from the bottom of my heart.

So the ECU needs to be replaced?  Are you sure? 

Maybe so, and I don't know ducatis, but I think a coil should cost <$100

I feel your pain(Current Jaguar enthusiast, former VW enthusiast).  It can be sickening to know your vehicle is hurt.  Knowing fully well going in that this is'nt going to be very reliable, but when it actually breaks it still comes as a shock.  There's people who buy for reliability and those who buy for performance, but when you purchase a vehicle out ov love it somehow becomes more human rather than a trusty or cool tool, and it hurts the heart when it breaks moreso than the head.  IME anyway.

I like that bike, I would much rather have a bike that style, than the ones I usually see cruising around town.

I have seen some BMW bikes which were cool looking too, but don't now if they make good bikes.

I know Ducati is good though.

Ducati's is not good Fenn.

The fucker is, like every fucking problem on this planet, PARADOX.

You get Honda - they're ultra reliable, the best at what they do, but they have 0% soul

Then you get Ducati - flaky, unreliable bastareds from day 1, but they got 100% soul.








I'd settle for a middle ground, but I can't find one.....

Couldn't agree with you more on the one.

I have only worked on the older ones. But they were a joy to work on compared to some of the jap stuff. Everything is accessible and came out easily.
But the electrics is a different story. Ducati electrics have been the cause of many headaches. 

Work shop manuals are priceless and make sure your not getting over charged just because it's a Ducati.
Good luck.

The only other bike I ever fell in love with after test riding it was an Aprilia RSV4:



I would've bought it then, but it was £16,000. The Duc above I fell in love with was only £8,000, so a little more manageable, pocket wise...

How did it fried the ECU and the Dash, isn't there any fail safe protection I.E fuse,surge protector? Can't you fix it yourself, or do you require specific tools for Ducati. I remember when I had my cbr600rr, I just fixed stuff myself. 2500$ seems like a lot.

This is why half my vehicles are from the 80's

I love new stuff but its harder to work on, and i like carburetors. When it comes to my bikes i do all my work myself and work on a few friends because i have a garage and the tools. Alot of stuff nowadays is just ordering new parts online and replacing the bad ones. Just bolting shit on. Bike mechanics these days are just parts changers, for the most part.

Ducs are sexy but ive always considered them to be like the other "higher end" bikes to where they are harder to work on and parts are more expensive and scarce. I like being able to find cheap and abundant customization parts for my honda and american bike.

Taco nailed it. I got an '08 CBR1000RR now and do everything on it myself.

Apparently it's a common problem on these Duc 821 engines though, loom can potentially be effected, and I aint fucking with that, spoke to the shop earlier and they say Ducati 'might' honour it and not charge me (fingers crossed). Their official line is the issue effected 1/1000 bikes, but the forums lead me to believe it's more than that..

What Honda you got Taco? My first 'fast' bike was an '07 600RR.

This one:



I was just leaving work at midnight and it died as I got to the end of the road. Luckily I know the building maintenance guys and security guys so I had a good homeand good company to wait with while I got recovered, but based on the conditions I've observed on the bike I think I'm gonna be looking at a £2,500+ repair bill. I am so pissed. I had just managed to save that money for my big move to Aus and now it's gonna get raped from my pocket due to my love for Italian bikes.

I've just been dropped off at home by the recovery people. I've necked some vodka and had a little PCP to deal with the pain but I need to vent about it and all my local friends are asleep (it's 4am) but I know my Shroomery crew is always online.

Ever had the pain of a vehicle you love breaking down on you and knowing you're gonna have to rape your savings to rescue it?

Fuck. Cunt. Fucking, fuck. I hate to sound cliche (fuck it, I always do) but my bikes are like women to me. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Please, somebody share some stories of loss, grief, and general pissed-off-ness so I don't feel so alone...



man,

I hate to have to say it,



but ducati's suck.

Build quality? YES
Reliability? YES
Ease of maintenance? YES?
Cost? YES
Ego surrounding most riders of them? YES
Common sense? YES

Passion? No fucking way. THEY NAILED IT. I've ridden pretty much every brand of bike and Duc's come out on top every time in terms of passion. The Italian machines have something no other brand can match, as much of a ball ache as they are.

fair enough,


I actually do totally understand your pain (I don't ride anymore cause my last bike got totaled in a hit and run, and I couldn't afford to fix it or buy another)
so I'm sorry man.


it'll be ok and you'll get the power back between your legs soon enough :hug:

Is this model a true spaghetti bike or built in Thailand?

Oh she's a proper Italian alright. You can feel it in her spirit.

Anyways, I managed to get the Fireblade all sorted and back roadworthy this weekend, so I've still got a great bike to ride in on. Admittedly, she's not suited to the city at all like the Duc, but she and I wanted to again express thanks to the community for sharing my pain when the Duc died on me on Friday. I was heartbroken and had a bit of a temper tantrum involving 3/4 of a bottle of vodka when I finally got recovered home that night.

So I made a little vid of for you lot that shared kind words with me. If you listen carefully, you can hear her saying 'thank you'....
