Hi,

I have a 2017 Scrambler Mach 2.0 purchased in November. It currently has 430 km on the clock and I suffice to say I have not ridden it all that much.

Whenever I keep it stored, it is plugged into the Ducati supplied trickle charger.

Over the last two weeks or so, I have noticed that the bike is struggling to kick over in the mornings. Now being based in Australia, by no means is it cold, just having come out of a very warm summer.

The bike's starter button fires away, however before the bike actually starts, I might have to press it a number of times, holding it for about 4-5 seconds each time until it actually fires up.

Is this a normal Ducati thing for the scrambler? or perhaps some sort of fault?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any info I can pass it on during the 1000 km service in a month or so.

Thanks

Tell your dealer.

Mine is ridden near daily, but when I'm not for over two weeks, it fires right up. Never used a trickle charger. One year old.

Funny by the way, during a start it always sounds like the starter can hardly get the engine turning, it DOES fire up though the first second.

Haven't ridden mine since before Christmas. Starts first time. Use trickle charger.

I would contact the dealer.
