1200 DVT New Multi 1200s

  1. Hello I just bought a new Multistrada 1200S I was pretty excited at the bike shop as I've never owned a Ducati, the owner went over riding modes & passenger settings etc etc.
    I jumped on the bike and rode home, bike was in touring mode & ran fine, I decided to try sports mode to see how it felt but to my surprise after selecting sport mode the bike just went back to default touring mode, I didn't worry about it as I just thought I was doing something wrong.
    Anyway I read the manual & have tried several times since but not happening bike won't change from default touring mode ... have written to bikeshop waiting a reply ... if anyone else has had similar issues I'd like to know how you fixed it ... thanks Ed

  2. Did you hold the button long enough? Try riding with the throttle open, because when you have held it long enough it will prompt you to close throttle or release brakes

    And welcome, great choice:)

  3. So what exactly do you do? I mean exactly step by step - which buttons do you press, in what order, for how long. And what does the dashboard display at each step? You talk about Touring mode and Sport mode, so what about Urban mode? Can you reach that?

  4. Welcome mate, great bike, but yes, make sure throttle closed, and hold button in selected mode till you see the mode changed. If engine is off and you change, you can hear suspension changing also :)

  6. Got it sorted, was trying to use the arrow up & down buttons to change riding modes when I should have been simply pressing the menu button a second time to change then a third time etc then hold menu button for 2/3 seconds to confirm the mode you want. Just wasn't reading the manual right, think it's written by an Italian in English. .... cheers Ed
