Sadly it seems I am part of the group, my 2020 base model has stalled out more times then I care to admit. I imagine I will pull the tb's myself. Dealer is a couple hours away, and always say they are booked months out.

FWIW some strategies for those having this as a recurring issue...

I had this issue early on and have not had it for over 10K miles since a throttle body and injector cleaning. Same original tank on my 2019 SP.

Fill the tank to the top after each ride. I think having the fuel volume at max capacity dilutes whatever junk may get dissolved.

Add a fuel additive to combat the ethanol in your fuel. Something that increases lubricity with TC-W3 such as


I use this in a 4 gallons of gas to 1 ounce of oil in the fuel mix. Basically I add one ounce of the stuff to the tank every time I fill it up.


The problem has not come back even with the original tank.

Not sure if those two actions help, purely speculation my anecdotal case study.
Genius! I will be trying some Lucas Oil stuff and hope for results like yours. Selling this bike, or not buying it in the first place, not an option. Nothing like a Hyper!

I posted this in another thread. I think it could be relevant to the stalling issues:

I finally bypassed ([email protected]) the evap canisters on our 2020 Hyper's, after a year of owning the bikes, and some unwanted stalling now and then. I used the Smart Moto kits. I only removed the evap valves from the bikes and left everything else on the bikes. In case they ever need to go to the dealer for remaining warranty work I could easily put the evap system back in order, and it would have been a lot more work to remove the entire airbox to remove everything properly. I used the supplied Smart Moto bolt, with a reusable clamp off the evap valve to securely plug the Y line to the intake. Installed the Smart Moto resistor in place of the valve. Up top I slid the atmosphere hose down and joined the two ports with some fresh hose and a T. I capped both ends of the evap system with some bolts and tucked them away. There is a drain hose on the evap can that I did not plug, so i figured it is good. When I pulled the evap valve from the bike there was wet fuel residue in the hose on both sides of the valve. I also installed new air filters (they needed it) and inspected the throttle bodies at the time, expecting the crusty worst. I was Stoked to see the throttle bodies on both the bikes were clean and clear with NO crust. I did recently start using the Green Lucas Oil ethanol treatment in the bikes. Only a couple of tanks of gas with it so far.

I then got out on my Hyper with some normal spirited riding, some stop and go traffic lights, and...what do you know... the bike did not stall or even appear like it wanted to stall once. I would think anyone with a stalling Hyper 950 should take the time to pull the tank and air box lid and inspect the tb's for crust. If there is none, maybe a new air filter AND bypassing the evap my be the easy fix. So far so good with my 2020. Wheelie on!

Hey guys, I used to have the stalling problem on my 2019 hypermotard 950. It was annoying as hell and every time it happened it always gave me starting issues. It would always start but it took a few tries.
I learned 2 things and it has cleared up the issue.
1. Always use non ethanol gas. I sometimes I might not start my bike for a month. And when I have the chance I might drive it everyday for a week.

2. This bike runs awesome when the engine gets up to temp. You gotta let it warm up and I have no issues.

Owning a Ducati is no different than having a high maintenance wife or a supermodel girlfriend. You gotta give them attention and spend money on them. If you can’t afford one buy Japanese. They don’t require as much attention or maintenance but you’ll never get the attention, looks, or compliments as you do on your Italian Ducati. And if your really into self punishment buy a Ferrari!!!!!
That is good news, for you. I hope yours stays stall free.

Here in California we have that corn syrup in our gas (ethanol).
We always warm our bikes up. They would still often stall when we would be coming to a stop. Hers not so much, but one stall is to many.
For us and our Hypers, eliminating the evap system was the one and only fix.
