I agree!! You nee to remove the words "Duki" and "Dukaki" from your vocabulary. It is in your own best interest!

I had the same exact issue. My 1098 S died out on me 2 times. The regulator rectifier on some of our bikes have a defect to where it does not charge the internal battery when riding, this causes the bike to run off the external battery 100% of the time. I did the three mile hike back home, and three weeks later I was stranded approx. 30 miles away for 8hrs before I got the bike to start up and go. Took it in to the dealer the very next day, warranty fix.

By the way I'm new to this forum....it's a pleasure to meet all of you. I own a 2008 midnight black 1098 s.

unbelievable they are still having those damn regulator problems. it's been a pervasive failure on all ducatis, well forever really

here, buy one of these and forget the dealer garbage. they're the best and it will not fail you: http://www.electrosport.com/

oh, and be aware that a fried regulator can often torch your battery too, so you could need to replace the battery. not always, but keep an eye on it.

know how to use a multimeter? if not, you get them at radio shack, kmart, sears or any auto parts/hardware store. learn how to use it. you're gonna need it.

good luck.

I guess I just joined the regulator/rectifier club. Bike sat on a Battery Tender all week, went for a 110 mile ride yesterday and had no issues. Rode 120 miles this morning and decided to call it a day. About 6 miles from home the amber triangle/exclamation point light came on and it felt like the bike was running a little sluggish. A mile closer to home and the engine started misfiring. I nursed it to a point about 1.5 miles from my house and it died. Cycled the key and the display blanked out when I hit the starter. Pushed it home (excellent cardio workout on the inclines). Got it hooked to the Tender and after a few minutes it turned over about 2 times and died. Battery shows 11.2 volts in the LCD display, not good.

Sounds like you could be in this exclusive club. I wonder why you didn't get the 5.2 volt error like alot of us did?
