I just got my first Ducati (2009 M696 with about 1,000 miles on it) and am very excited.  It's only my second bike so still a newbie.  I took it for a quick spin earlier this afternoon and it was a blast to ride.

Tonight, I wanted to show my brother my new bike and let him hear my Leo Vince pipes.  I hop on, kick stand up, start up and released the clutch a little too soon (slipped my mind I hadn't put it in neutral yet), the bike went forward, and the bike stalled.  I tried to restart it and it will start up, but won't hold an idle.  It just dies after it starts.  Did I break something?  Embarrassed  I was doing some reading on the immobilizer system, but I don't think the engine would even start if this was the issue.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

If it starts...

ride it...don't just start it. Wink

It will be happier.

Use the choke lever and let her warmed up a little before moving the choke back to no-choke.

Was just reading about this on the forum and in the owner's manual.  Will give it a shot tomorrow. Thank you.

Was a little scared I broke something already...lol.  Earlier this afternoon, she started right up with no issues.  Oh, I also have the ECU flashed, if it matters.
