Cracked Dash Screen - 1299.

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Ian, May 7, 2020.

  1. My Sept 16 bike has developed what appears to be two small (1/2”) cracks on the dash. Is there an easy fix such as a new screen or is it a ‘Bend over the dealer’s gonna hurt you’ type expense?
    It’s a 1299S with 10,500 miles if that makes any difference.
    Thanks in advance!
     
  2. Grit your teeth. o_O

  3. I feared so!
     
  4. Try covering it with a Speedo Angel. The cracks may not be so noticeable.
     
  5. If you have a mate who is a journalist at MCN you can grumble direct to Ducati HO UK and they will fix it free (but hush hush ;)).

  6. Are they just using cheap plastic?
     
  7. Cheap design more like.
     
  8. Sadly Ducati have a long history of cracks in the dash or other instruments, 1098 dashes and 9** series temp gauges. Sadly I doubt that things will improve under their new ownership who have also previously had issues in this area.
     
  9. You’d think they’d have sorted this by now. Very shoddy parts supply issue. Which Ducati just hope we put up with.
