Cold start up noise - quackers

[Deleted account 251212001]

Is it me regarding this noise. Sounds like someone is strangling Orville. I noticed it last year when starting up on a cold engine but its worse now.

Ive been asked to book it in for investigation.

Exhaust flap valve ?

you might be onto something there

I have the same noise on my 1200 & that's definitely the exhaust flap ,

Sounds like it could be the starter clutch to me.

Maybe get a third party do do the switch on/off & get down close to the starter, then the exhaust valve.

It just sounds too loud for the flappy valve - anyway doesn't that exercise, then set itself when the ignition is switched on, rather than at start-up?

The sound does it on shut down as well so the starter clutch is not engaged ? Had a similar sound on my 1250 , but switched to a de cat with no valve , stopped the squeak . Maybe try disconnect the connector on the valve motor then ( ignore the warning lights) and try it then , no noise , its the valve , noise ... I will get my coat ..................and go back to the Ducati Forum

New starter motor on order

Picked it up today after the new starter motor fitted, all good again and happy with the service from bmw dealer, they lent me a brand new top spec R1250R courtesy bike which tbh surprised me, it was lovely, very torquey and smooth and a super slick gearbox, pleased to get my bike back, its what I'm used to now and I like a fairing especially in winter, owned almost a year and no regrets. Looks like they slipped another recall in looking at the workshop notes:

G 0060449

Checking the handbrake fitting blow-by c
