I would expect for that to be the rev limiter. This is a protection against the engine coming apart when REXING the engine too high without a load. I hope this video helps.

I am wondering where to line up the coils on the flywheel when the engine is at TDC on the horizontal cylinder. I called ferracci and they said if I sent MY MOTOR to them they could help me. Otherwise they couldn't tell me. My question is what to I line my coil pickups to on the flywheel where are the magnetic pickup on the flywheel and the coil pickups lining up? Thanks!It sounds as if you have not installed the flywheel yet.
I installed a lightweight Nichols Flywheel on a 2000 Monster 750 earlier this year. I have sense sold that bike and gave the paperwork instruction away with it. From the picture you have supplied they look exactly the same from what I remember.
Again, this is working off memory. There is only one possible way for the flywheel itself to fit into the bike. There is an alignment peg (for a lack of a better name) that aligns the flywheel with the electrode. The instructions are clear about not moving or changing the electrode spacing, location or existing relationship.
Long story short, it was pretty much plug and play and I did not have to do anything with TDC. I understand it is a different brand, and it might be different, but......
By the way, I loved the flywheel upgrade.,,,
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.
You may likely have to program a new key as it has a chip. The SBB key programmer on Ebay is great for cars but not sure about bikes but perhaps! Make sure your model is available in the indications given by the SBB programmer site on Ebay.
Switch is worn . First take som rubbin alcohol and pour it on the switch. It can bring electrix back to life. But umay hav to buy part on acyclsalvage site or dealership
to check to see if its an electrical problem it the starter button it self find the starter relay take a wrench or a screw driver and make contact between the 2 copper posts that are sticking out from the relay if it turns over than you will know that it is the push button if it doesn't turn over than you know that its the starter.

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.
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.

Looks like power from battery goes from battery to ABS fuse and then to ABS ECU

Manual may provide some help. I do see a method of disabling abs but it resets every time you restart.
Hi Joe
I don't own a Ducati or know it's circuits.
But, as an ex auto electrician I suggest the following.... if your short of electrical tools.
Use a simple wire from Battery 12v terminal (with a fuse or 10Amp circuit breaker in series with the wire.
Connect to headlight connector low beam / high beam to see if it works.
Lights work OK?
Use a simple 12v test light connected to ground or Battery Negative to trace the wire back.
Check on either side of connectors.
Check Fuse Block with test light to find open fuse.
Process of elimination
Good Luck
