starter

Bike simply will refuse to start if left outdoors overnight in sub 10 degrees temperature. No errors. Also no problem starting if stored indoors (even if not a heated space). Video of all the sounds it makes failing to start: This has only gotten worse over the past 2 years. It used to...

Hi, Anyone know if there are recalls for the starter clutch flywheel? The Ducati recall website doesn't indicate so but some forums (diavel) indicates that these items are recall even if they don't show up on the website. Should I ask my dealer to hold off on the repairs until I can get a...

Hey guys, So I changed the starter over the weekend and the bike can't seem to fire up. The fuel pump is making the sound once you turn the bike on and the new starter is working and trying to turn over the bike but it's not catching. I do have a fuel modulator on the bike. Don't know if that's...

I've used this wiring in an old truck from 1967 with great results for cold weather starting. Serious improvement, went from a truck that would wear the battery down until it couldn't crank half the time to starting on the first try in all weather. I'm wondering if it's worth doing on a...

Hi gang my starter motor needs replacing. The bike is no longer under warranty. I have read elsewhere that Ducati replace the motor for free as it was a known issue. Does anybody have experience with this? All help is much appreciated! regards Markimark

Caveat: Most anything I know I probably learned here. My bike exhibited the exact symptoms of the starter failure and had been getting progressively worse over the last few months. I'd bought the replacement and was about to do the swap myself. But since I was going to have new fork...

Stradista's, Bike has recently developed an issue. 1st cold start of day and the start cycle is very slow, drains the dash as it cycles, and will roll an extra cycle or two after I release the starter (hasn't turned over yet). It catches on about the 3rd attempt, and I let it cycle 3-4 time...

Ducati Hypermotard and Hyperstrada 821 2013 2014 2015 Starter Motor Replacement DIY Why? If your starter motor sucks. This is identifiable by slow cranking with several clicks and requires 3-4 presses of the starter button, especially with the engine warm or hot. Also accompanied by a...

About a year ago, my bike would take several attempts to start, and the motor sounded like it couldn't turn over the engine. The dash would dim and flicker, and require 4-5 presses of the button to start up. It would make awful clicking and clunking noises too. This issue was most prevalent when...

I'm pretty sure I've seen this mentioned by other members here, but I've definitely started to notice degradation in the performance of the starter motor. Sounds like there's a loose contact and it sometimes takes 3 tries to get the engine started. If anyone knows where to look, I'd love...

I've always wondered if there's a reason to use the starter button cover on a regular basis? :confused: The only reason I've ever flipped it down was to turn off the engine really quickly. TIA

The last two times I went to start the Hyper, upon pressing the start button all I got was a "click" sound. I moved the bike a few inches in gear, put it back in neutral and the bike started fine. The bike has 4,500 miles on it and the battery is always kept on a trickle charger. I don't think...
