DUCATI 959 PANIGALE CRANKS BUT WONT START

This is a Fucati 959 panigale that has a crank but no start issue. The bike suddenly lost power and started to misfire on occasion. After riding back to the paddock at cadwell park race circuit the engine would not restart, and there are no error codes logged with the ecu.

Enjoying your informative vids . A lot of the jobs I’ve gone through on my 888 however I will be revisiting the clutch . Cheers

[@PXCBIKES]

Thank you ...yes, I believe the clutch is the same on the 888, but I have never worked on one 🤔... it really is simple, but some people seem to make it complicated

Great that on soldering I've done it for years never used alcahol, I'll save some when I go out for a drink 🤣🤣👍👍 great vid

😆Nooooo don't waste alcohol when you are out !... just use some from the leftover moonshine 🤜🤛

Ha thank you pal 👍

Nice vid mate !! Very interesting find!!! I need to get some harpic for the garage!! I've found a couple of connectors on the tuono that could do with a clean-up.

[@PXCBIKES]

Yeah, it is good stuff. I should get it for free now ...I bet their sales have gone through the roof 🫢

[@richieperrott8413]

Should be sponsored by the bog cleaner, lol 😂

[@PXCBIKES]

Yes I should ! 🤭 they would be proud of me

[@nikplant8620]

I’ve got a poorly panigale you can have a go at 😂 great videos mate 👍🏻

[@PXCBIKES]

Oh dear, what's happening with it 😕

[@nikplant8620]

@@PXCBIKES it’s running ok but got red engine light on, but I’ve taken it the garage to be plugged in but there’s no power coming from the diagnostic port

[@PXCBIKES]

Oh if there is no power from the port it could be a bad ground wire to the ECU or wiring...but have you tried the onboard diagnostic

[@nikplant8620]

@@PXCBIKES I didn’t know it had an onboard until I watched your vid, mines 2013 model so has different dash

[@davidmitchard1330]

Clever diagnostic by you enjoying your clips you make it look so easy. Regards Dave.

I'm trying to figure mine out. 2016 Panigale 959. Stays on a charger when not riding. A few months ago I replaced the air filter. I made double sure all connections (throttle body, fuel pump, ground) were good. Bike will turn over but won't start. Check engine light is on. Can't figure it out. Battery is only a year old and, as stated, stays on the charger.

[@PXCBIKES]

Have you tried the onboard diagnostics.. ? Press button down on left handlebar and hold it... then switch on ignition .....then this will enable diagnostics and should display ERR on the right of the screen... if so, this means there are errors recorded, and you can navigate through to see the codes.. There are many reasons for the engine to fail starting, and basically, it's either not getting a spark or fuel... ..if you have no warning lights, then you have a mechanical or electrical component fault.. if there are warning lights and error messages, then you have an incomplete electrical circuit or a sensor fault. You could start by testing the HT Leeds as I did, or you may have a coil pack that has failed...

[@gunsnsails]

@@PXCBIKES thanks. I'll give that a shot.

[@PXCBIKES]

@gunsnsails also I don't keep my bikes on a constant charge. I allow the battery to discharge a little and plug the charger every 7 days or so for 9 hours, especially if you have a lithium battery.. it is good to let them discharge a little to prolong the life of it.

[@hlpang1075]

What diag tool do you use?

[@PXCBIKES]

I used to use Tuner Pro... or JP Ducatidiag. But the tool used for this was just a simple OBD reader tool with the Ducati adapter lead... with this simple tool, you will only get basic fault codes, but nothing in depth
