Ducati claims my warranty is up...

Odd, seeing as how I bought the bike new in May, 2015. They seem to think the warranty started when the dealer got the bike not when it was sold. The dealer confirmed it was not a demo bike and is getting in touch with Ducati.

This explains why they denied my claim to have my second set of bags replaced (these ones turned purple in 1000 miles).

I'd like to reiterate, these bikes are over-priced junk mostly made in China. Fun to ride but it's not quality or customer service that sells them. It's allll marketing.

WTF!

Yup. They refused to replace my starter (after the 2nd one failed) while I was still under warranty, forcing me to do it myself. Never buying another Ducati again. But I also can't sell it, cause it's too fun (when it works right).

My Monster 796 had a dent/ding on the FRAME, covered by regulatory sticker. I had warranty left when I found out about it, but they dismissed it as a cosmetic issue. It was small and shallow, but it was effing DISTORTION on FRAME nonetheless. I sold the bike eventually and said "well, Ducati sucks. never again."

And I've had Sport Classic 1000S, Scrambler and now Hyperstrada after all that so I guess I'm a total sucker. Italians are known for the beautiful designs, not really the quality or customer service... And I still love them.

I hope OP's issue will be resolved soon. That sounds like the dealer who gotta do the right thing. If they sold you a demo bike with shorter warranty period left without telling you, that's their fault. If there is a communication issue between the dealer and Ducati, again, dealer should step up and fix it for you. Either way, you shouldn't be the one suffering.

Erico came through and did the right thing. My bikes paperwork apparently got mixed up with another's. They are giving me a free 2 year extended warranty which puts me with an extra year of warranty. And they are replacing the junk Ducati bags again!

This might also explain why the payoff on the bike was like $600 less than it should have been...

They're a great shop but man, they are a bit scattered sometimes...

Not too bad though!

I like happy endings.
