899 Need Diagnostic Machine,..quick!

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Poucher, Jun 30, 2026 at 6:37 PM.

  1. Hi all,
    I was out last Tuesday in that stinking hot heat on the little red bomb, outside temperature gauge read 30c by the time I got home and I just put the bike straight into the garage cos it had boiled me spuds and I was dying to get my leathers off!
    Got it out again last Thursday to go for a ride and upon starting it , the engine warning light just stayed on and there was a triangular warning symbol above the race mode that I’d never seen before??

    Anyone got any ideas about what’s happened?
    I’m just wondering if it’s the MAP sensor??

    Does anyone know any Ducati independents in my area ( County Durham) that could have a look at it sharpish?
    I tried to ring Vertu at Sunderland,….what an utter farce!
    Would only let you leave a message on an answering machine, tried twice yesterday and once today, only got 3 text messages for my trouble and a call from the service manager last night saying they were having issues with the phone system and someone would call me today, well they didn’t, so I thought I’d try the sales team, they might be keener to answer, sure enough I got hold of someone, explained the situation and he got someone to call me back,…..yes I can get you booked in for a diagnostic check,…6 weeks time okay :astonished::astonished:!!
    He reckons even if you wanted a tyre fitting,..they can’t touch anything for 6 weeks, like wtf !!

    So hence the fact I’m looking for any ideas on the fault, and / or an independent to look at it
    Thanks in advance guys :upyeah:
     
  2. That’s the warning I got when my map sensor failed but it may be the same for many other faults.
