I have a 08 1098s which I bought a week ago. It was a new leftover. I notice the starter button will continue to crank the engine even after you have released it. As soon as the engine starts it seems the starter disengages/turns off as normal. Is this normal? It goes to the dealer for the 1st service this week.

Yes, that is normal on 1098. On 1198 that feature is gone

Nice ride. Next time you sit down for coffee-whip out the Manual and have a read..

I like that feature, personally. My GT and 1098 both have it. Press it and forget it. If it does not start, it will stop after a bit. Then, wait a bit and press it again. GM cars had the same thing.

:think: Commonly referred in Ducati circles as "Soft Start" function

My s2r800 had it and I thought it was really cool turned a few heads on a cold start up

Older thread but worthwhile thread. Someone just asked me the same thing.
