Reset your trip gage back to 0, it should go out, but if it does not go out then it is a faulty sensor
and will need to be replaced . Try turning on your key dont start , just let it stay on and then hit your trip meter, watch it clear baclk to zero. Light should go off . If you still have problem and you
do not wish to fix it . Do this with the trip meter at zero run your bike 35 miles and then go put
gas in it . This will tell you how many miles you can get to your tank, and every time you fill up just reset back to zero. Oh and another thing , that bike requires PREIMIUM GAS only high test.

By my calculations, 35mpg US is the same as 42mpg imperial. This is roughly what I get with mixed usage - main road commuting and the odd blast at the weekend. It's quite hard to be precise, as the lack of a mainstand means you never know quite how full you have made the tank, but I would say that 35 was accurate to +/- 5%. On a steady run at a reasonable (i.e. legal) speed, I would think you could get better than 50mpg imp/42 mpg US from that lazy motor. You're talking about 100 miles on a flat motorway. I'm sure the GT will cope with that fine, and will cruise at whatever speed your neck muscles will stand. In fact, the long standard gearing should make an 80mph cruise pretty relaxed for the engine. But is the GT an appropriate choice for that kind of riding? I would have thought a GoldWing would have been better suited to that kind of distance and road. The GT excels at fast and twisty roads, and I feel it might be a bit wasted on an Interstate. Unless, of course, you have twisty bits at either end of your journey to enjoy ...

When your 2016 Ducati X Diavel doesn't start, there are several steps you can take to try and diagnose and resolve the issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow: 1. Check the battery: Ensure that the battery is charged and in good condition. Check the battery connections to make sure they are secure and clean. If the battery is weak or faulty, consider charging or replacing it. 2. Ignition switch and kill switch: Verify that the ignition switch is turned on and the kill switch is in the "Run" or "On" position. Sometimes, these switches can accidentally get bumped or turned off, preventing the bike from starting. 3. Fuel level and fuel delivery: Confirm that there is enough fuel in the tank. Additionally, check for any clogged fuel filters or fuel lines that may be restricting fuel flow. If necessary, clean or replace these components. 4. Kickstand position: Some motorcycles have a safety feature that prevents the engine from starting if the kickstand is down. Ensure that the kickstand is fully retracted and try starting the bike again. 5. Spark plugs: Examine the spark plugs for any signs of fouling, wear, or damage. If needed, clean or replace the spark plugs according to the manufacturer's specifications. 6. Fuses: Inspect the fuses to see if any have blown. Replace any blown fuses with the appropriate type and rating. 7. Immobilizer system: If your Ducati X Diavel is equipped with an immobilizer system, ensure that the key you are using is programmed correctly and recognized by the system. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on the immobilizer system. If the issue persists after these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional Ducati technician or authorized Ducati service center. They will have the expertise and specialized diagnostic equipment to diagnose and resolve the problem with your 2016 Ducati X Diavel.

Go back to basics to figure this out. An engine needs 3 things to start and run. Air, Fuel and Spark. Remove any one of these and it won't start. Try this. What EXACTLY does it do when you press the start button -Nothing at all or a slow sluggish crank is most likely a flat or bad battery issue. Charge or replace the battery. Cranking at normal speed but not trying to start is possibly a spark supply issue. Test for spark at the plugs and work through the ignition from there. Cranking, coughing and trying but won't idle is commonly a fuel supply issue. Check you actually have fuel in the tank. Yes, I've made that mistake! I've also forgotten to open the fuel valve. Check you are getting fuel to the cylinders. A way to do this is by removing 1 plug wire and cranking the engine for 1 to 2 seconds. Remove the spark plug on that side and sniff it. A working set up and it'll smell of fuel. Refit the plug and the wire and repeat this for the other cylinder. From there work backwards through the fuel system checking the injector, fuel pump and the fuel pipe lines.

Clearance issues aside, you need the proper mounts. If they make them, they will work, aside from tank clearance issues. If they don't make the proper kit, just don't do it. Handlebars are not something to experiment with when you're traveling down the highway at 60+ mph. Ever had a simple grip come off? Not fun, trust me.

Change the spark plugs and it should work good

Find out with your meter where the high amp draw is coming from and why.

The turn- bank sensor may think you have wrecked or just tipped over the bike. It may need to be replaced. Have you had to lay it down lately? Usually they reset after being turned on again after a lay down. It might not be resetting. Good Luck with that one.
