THE MOTORCYCLE HAS STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY 8 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW. SIX OF THOSE TIMES, THE BIKE WAS IN MOTION. STALLING HAS HAPPENED IN A VARIETY OF SITUATION, INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY IN BUSY COMMUTE TRAFFIC, AND AT NIGHT. WHEN THE STALL OCCURS, THE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF. HAPPENS WHEN THE BIKE IS EITHER WARM OR COLD, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN (BUT NOT ALWAYS). IN ALL CASES, I COULD ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, AND NOT COLDER THAN 60F. REPEATED STALLING HAS NOT OCCURRED: THE CLOSEST IN TIME TWO INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED IS 24 HRS. *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING. THIS REQUIRES ME TO RESTART THE BIKE IN TRAFFIC. A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

STALLING ISSUES WITH THE 2010 DUCATI MULTI-STRADA 1200. I HAVE HAD 3 OCCURRENCES OF THE BIKE SHUTTING DOWN DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ALL THREE TIMES THE ISSUE OCCURRED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN THE BIKE, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON A FREEWAY, WHICH HAS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE BIKE BY PRESSING THE STARTER. *TR
