Hey everybody, my first post here...tho I've been over at Ducati.net for quite some time now. Wanted to get the community's opinions on my current issue over here as well...sooo
I removed the charcoal canister off my 848 last night since I was bored, fired the bike up afterwards (not that I was concerned about any running issues as removal of this item shouldn't affect how the bike runs anyway). It idled well, so no concerns
Took it out for a blast today since it's a beautiful 75/80 degree day here in the Springfield, MA area. Felt quite alive...powered the front end up in 1st...no issues
Started riding it a bit harder once I got out of my neighborhood...downshifted hard at a light and popped the clutch around 8,000rpm as I was slowing down...rpms came down to around 5,000 as I was braking then.....you guessed it....silence....the infamous stalling issue returns
Bike fired right back up and didn't stall again for the rest of my ride. I actually had thought i was one of the lucky ones since ever since I swapped out my ecu for a reflashed one with a DP map, Zard pipes, and BMC filter I never again had a stalling issue except for once every couple months when warming up, which didn't bother me. This was the first tim since those mods where the bike stalled on me while on the street
My question is...what changed? Or do you all think I could very well have a cam-timing issue as well? If so it's somewhat minor, and maybe I'll have to look into it when I check the valves in another 4,000 miles. Thoughts? Thanks
