Hi everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my 2020 Panigale V2. I got caught in terrible rain one day, and have since had an issue with starting the bike. I know Ducatis are known for not exactly having reliable wiring, but I’m hoping it’s not a huge issue. Basically every time I switch the ignition on, the screen turns on without a problem. I then try to start the bike by holding the button down, but nothing happens. There is no click, no crank, nothing. I noticed it takes between 1 and 3 minutes of holding the button down for the bike to react in any way. Sometimes after 1-3 minutes it will crank and start instantly. Sometimes it will crank once, fail, but crank again within 10 seconds and start. Has anyone had a similar issue? How do I start going about diagnosing it? Thanks in advance
Do I look for corrosion on fuses? Don't think the hair dryer will do as the bike got wet over 2 months ago and the issue persists. How do I go about fixing it? I'll disassemble the cluster over the weekend. If there's corrosion, any product you'd recommend to clear the area?
anything obvious, a blown fuse would be eureka maybe a fuse with some scale on if so clean with a wire brush or sandpaper, or replace is the battery charged fully? if you remove the starter relay and problem is the same maybe thats it. ive had nightmares with electrics before and its a bit daunting, but if you start at the battery and work through it chances are you'll find it
Battery is fully charged and on trickle charger constantly, also had gotten a new battery about 4 months ago. Any idea what kind of power should be on each fuse? Is there a diagram available somewhere? Also wouldn't a blown fuse completely stop the bike from starting?
Yes a blown fuse would break the connection to whatever it goes to but if it has got water in it then that could cause some corrosion and result in a poor connection and possibly intermittent starting like you are describing.
Does anyone have any useful info as to how to access the fuseboxes? Funnily enough I can't find anything online for the V2, only very generic images not showing anything useful.
Is that info not in the Owners Manual? If you don’t have the OM it’s available online at https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/service-maintenance/owner-manuals
