Hi all, im a new member also new to the Ducati, i bought my 2016 Multistrada 1200s used from this year with 26k miles on it, it was imported from UK. I changed the engine oil and filter bought OEM from Amazon, also bought plugs but didn't change them because ones on it look good.
Bikes i had before the Dukati are 2004 Honda ST1300, 2013 BMW R1200RT and 2012 BMW K11600GT, i have to admit i love the Ducati more ride and weight wise, i was planning to buy the 2 side boxes on eBay because i touring is my biking preference.
I also changed the left hand control switch because the menu button was missing though it works fine with the inner buttons but i fear for water Ingres. Compared to my other bikes, i find the starter sluggish to start the bike though bike starts every time with one push of a button and couple engine turns depending on how long i started it last, so i bought a new motocross YTZ12S battery as spare.
Bike came with only passive black key that needs to be placed near the dash board to activate the instrument panel.
The handsfree starting system is new to me, up until the time i bought the bike i assumed it has the traditional key in the hole then press start button system, very strange for a bike, cool though.
MY PROBLEM.
I rode it last on 7/07/18, it rode fine as usual without any problem, parked it for 2 weeks then the problem starts, I've parked it for longer in the past without any problem.I placed the passive key near left side of instrument panel followed the usual sequence but nothing, the instrument panel won't come on, initially i thought maybe the battery is flat, but when i press the fail safe button the instrument panel came on promptly with headlight quite bright. The fail safe can not show screen to insert pin code, if i press menu button it will go into suspension settings, i noticed DSS error, DWC error on this screen , it also shows 51km/h intermittently, engine cooling fan and headlights comes on and off intermittently. Strange indeed it took me to insert pin code when i was just checking it out on a previous occasion. I charged the battery with a NOCO genius charger with battery on the bike until fully charged and tried again severally, no change. I keep my bikes outside with bike cover and we do have rats, could it have been rat chewed something somewhere or is it a known problem with a diagnosis.
My Honda was rock solid, had it for many years it basically never fails, with the BMWs i have the GS911 to diagnose any problem they may have. Im just beginning to learn the Ducatis are not so DIY friendly and theres no Ducati dealer in West Africa, the closest is south Africa which is over 4000 miles, actually I'm closer to the UK then to SA.
Thank you very much for anticipated help.
