Have a 2014 Diavel. And after maybe 8 years. I still love it. Yes, parts can be expensive. And take time to get. And at the same time. You get it serviced regularly with a good mechanic. And you should always be confident with the bike. I personally have never had any issues with mine.
Man I put 14k miles on mine and had 2 minor issues wasn't hard to fix.. looooved the bike till I got hit. Only reason I don't have it any more And it was a brake light issue and a harness break at the neck. But another easy fix.
sorry about your problems man, must of picked a bad apple never had a single problem wit mine, all services done in time and nothing to worry in my exerience
Ducati refused to respect my three year warranty even on a misassembled wing mirror that had a 5 sided allen key and the left one had the Ducati six pointed star key, and the mirrors did spins 360 when driving impossible to tighten. They refused warranty, despite faulty assembly using non ducati screws and bolts on a newly arrived bike XXXX Ducati AND THE CEO, it is almost as expensive to repair something on a Ducati, as to buy a new bike. And the assembly line is very bad many come loosely screwed together. Mine had blue white yellow and green and red paint dabs al over it as if 'coloring by numbers fo apprentice assembly line kids' style, and they refusd to remove it saying the paste cant be removed wont wash off. (it wont either!)
I have a 2016 Diavel...lots of Ducati Performance parts...Termi exhaust. 13,000 miles. Really no issues. The big service was expensive, but it's a Ducati. I still love the bike. If you are having issues due to wheelies and burnouts...don't do wheelies and burnouts! I also have a 1299...I love that too. Is it expensive to maintain...yes. But worth every penny. If you want a boring Jap bike, get a Honda. Just saying 🙂. Sorry you have had issues with this bike but not sure this is the norm.
Sorry to hear about your problems bro. Never had a problem with my 2013. One warranty issue with a sensor and rear tire wears fast. The dealer has tried to recommend expensive service but I know better. Only 10k miles though and I don't do wheelies. I do ride like I stole it though. No regrets here.
I actually regret buying my 2015 Carbon. I was thinking about it for 3 months before I decided to just buy it. But right now I wish I never bought it. Tough lesson for me
@@Colt-Forty5 Expensive to maintain. You can service the bike yourself but you cant turn off the service lights. Servicing here in Australia will set you back $400 for a minor and close to $2000 for major service every 25,000klms. There is also a chain slapping noise which is annoying on bumpy road and changing down gears. You will be limited on tyre selection. Fob key sometimes doesn't connect so you have to hold key under seat to start it. I also didn't think the dealership I bought the bike from was professional. Ive always wanted a Ducati and after owning it and having experienced their dealership, I am turned off the brand. I was tossing up between a Harley and Diavel and now Im wishing I got the Harley. Id only recommend this bike if you are earning over $100,000 a year and riding only weekends.
@@Colt-Forty5 If you are committed to buying a diavel, most definitely buy the 2019+ diavel 1260 or the 2016 Xdiavel. That would be my suggestion. The Gen1 and Gen2 are not all that great. Very fast and fun but quality is below average.
@@TheMarcosdeo Like buying a Yacht, i also found out too late, a Ducati does not just require 10 to 20 thousand bucks to buy. You need another 10 to 30,000 Bucks to replace parts and maintain with! A Ducati is an expensive toy AFTER purchase,. It is more expensive to keep than to buy in the first place. Much like a Yacht, that will cost you more than the Yacht itself in maintenance and fuel and Marina costs over a few years. They are not for people who have enough money to buy one, they are for people who have twenty times more money than that, so they dont care to buy it for 20,000 and repair it once a year for 15000
@@AjarnSpencer I totally agree with you. Ride it like a jet ski. I now own a 2017 Harley Dyna for 6+months now. So much better then the Diavel. Cheaper to maintain and better at cruising with good power for the street.
The simple fact you were doing wheelies on a muscle cruiser is probably why you've had problems. Get your R1 back and do the huligan thing. This bike is not meant for that.
I have a 2011 Ducati Diavel carbon black, it had 12,000 miles on it and I paid $10,000, luckily I got a warranty, I had the exact same problem with the wire harness at the point you show, in fact it was repaired before at the same spot by another dealer according to the carfax data, I took it in at 15,000 miles for the Desmo service , it was $2,200 plus $600 parts, I wanted 2 new sprockets a new chain, two tires and a battery, it was about $4,000, They call me and say the wire harness was repaired before and failed and needed a new harness for $3,000 ! I had the warranty and they agreed to fix it, during this they said the slave cylinder was bad and gear position sensor ws bad too, it was going to be over $4,000 for the warranty company and $4,000 for my part , it had 15,000 miles and I had over $15,000 into the bike! I asked the dealer how much they would buy my bike for they said $5,500 and they know all the service and new stuff ! I have tried to sell it and nobody has bought it for $6,000! I called the place online that buys the bike and they said $4,500! and they sell the same bike for $6 to $10,000! My gas tank cover carbon fiber clear coat is starting to peel and needs a new clear coat, the seat cover just started unraveling suddenly too! The bike has been a money pit, I rode 3,000 miles and have spent $15,000, about $5 a mile! Every 15000 miles a $3,000 service is required but you can buy low mileage motors for $2k, its is smarter to replace the motor with a 4,000 mile engine than dump thousands into a 30,000 mile engine! I ran into the same thing with my 1991 BMW 850i V12 Coupe, it was $91,000 in 1991, it was the cutting edge of tech then, the V 12 is essentially two 6 cylinder 2.5 litre engines with a common crankshaft, it has 2 engine management systems even 2 batteries, it was about $3,500 a year to keep it in shape, it became evident used V 12 engines are cheaper than fixing an old V 12 engine, they were called throw away motors. Ducati denies a problem with the wire harness routing and it cost me thousands and now I see it is a design flaw!
Well, this is a bunch of horse s***. He bought the bike used. He never know what it saw before he got it. Every diavel owner I know, love their bike. Reliable as a hammer.
Definitely not a bike for poor people. It is the Ferarari of bikes and people think because they can afford monthly payments they should be able to own one but they don't have the money or the knowledge of bikes to own one.
Sorry to hear about ur experience. I bought my 2012 Carbon red, same exact bike, new and I have nothing but great things to say about it. Maintenance every Spring at the dealer since new , 30k miles. Love it. No wheelies ever...it provides enuff thrills.
How many miles do you put on your bike between maintenance... once a year sounds like you are hardly riding you bike at all. I maintenance mine like 3 times a year but I'm always riding... super reliable in my experience also but now you got me wondering if I'm over doing it on the maintenance 🤔
Yeah I turned the video off after he said “It’s probably my fault for doing wheelies” I cringed when he was bitching about the dash price.. cause he said “if you do a burnout the dash is gonna go crazy” okay man yeah that’s probably why everything on your bike is broken, it probably is your fault.
That explains the leaking, the answer is in 4:18 U can't wheelies with diavel despite it had the raw power.., same concept that u can't jerk Harley bike, it wasn't build to handle that stress 1:58 it seems like the sealer leaked out from the casing, either sloppy maintenance job or overheating maybe due to high revving..
Cornell shut your mouth, this was my 6th bike and was the only one that give me issues, it was my dream bike but quality is garbage, my friend had a monster and guess what ? Bunch of problems and stupid issue. I will never get another bike that is not Japanese 🇯🇵 now I got the Suzuki Boulevard M109r and after 3 years and hard riding no issues at alllllll Ducati is garbage period
All this video is about is complaining about problems with a USED bike. I have been riding for almost fifty years. It's a fucking MACHINE man. If you beat on it, you're gonna break it eventually. Your tight wiring harness is probably from the guy who had before you and WRECKED IT, and didn't get it fixed by someone who knew WTF he was doing. Same thing with your leaks. I have bikes that are over forty years old. (I have five right now) They run great and don't leak. Know why? Because I buy the manuals and do my own work instead of crying about paying repair bills like a little bitch. You should stick to bicycles.
Wow.. it’s really awful experience.. lucky me intending to buy the latest model once it’s launch in my country somewhere next month.. seeing this video, I might change my mind.. you’re awesome.. tq bro..🤓👍
Used bike. Can never know how the previous owner treated it and it could’ve been a lemon for him. All manufactures build occasional lemons that constantly have problems.
rubbish i bought a new Nightshift and the front fork seal broke at 100 km and threw me off i a speed wobble Ducati's fault bad assembly line work, Ducati refuse to admit it and want me to pay 300,000 Thai Baht to repair a 430,000 Thai Baht new bike, e month after buying it. XXXX Ducati and their CEO for SE Asia GINO the bad mannered arrogant buttbag. They didnt even honor the warranty when it arrived with a faulty mirror assembly a 5 sided allen on one side closure and a 6 star key on the other mirror, and the mirrors doing 360 revolutions round the handlebars could not tighten them (inserted backwards by some idiot in the factory).. they refused to reassemble or accept warranty claim. So warranty means shit with Ducati
