2019 Ducati Multistrada MTS1200S. Bought brand new. The bike constantly stalls when pulling in the clutch coming to a stop. Bike is completely stock. No issues with air filter or fuel. The bike does it intermittently and has almost caused a couple of crashes on the highway when coming into traffic. Bike will stall in backed up traffic on the highway or coming to a red light, then cars behind start moving while traffic starts speeding up and I am having to get the bike restarted. Very dangerous. Not rideable.

The motorcycle randomly stalls when beginning from a stop, adding throttle and then coming off the throttle. It isn't consistent and was very sporadic but today it happened 4 times. It's my understanding that this happens to others based on several posts on ducati.ms forums.

1. When pulling in the clutch approaching a stop sign or light, the engine RPM's drop down through idle and the bike stalls. 2. There is traffic behind me doesn't initially know the bike has stalled and starts to move forward. I have almost been hit several times. The same safety issues occurs when coming to a stop, as the bike may not restart immediately. I also have to take my attention away from the traffic in front of me to restart the engine. 3. I purchase the bike used and do not know if it was reviewed by a dealer. I have not done so. Ducati is well aware of this problem, as it has been known and reported by customers since 2015. 4. No warning is provided by the motorcycle. It just stops running.
