The 1995 Ducati 916 has three recalls, the most serious being a throttle cable bushing that can slip out of position and cause the throttle to stick partially open, holding the engine at higher speed than intended.
A separate structural concern involves the side stand spring plate, which can break and allow the stand to drop and contact the ground while riding, potentially disrupting control of the bike. On the brakes, certain motorcycles may have left the factory without proper thread-locking adhesive on the rear brake disc and sprocket screws, allowing the disc to work loose and rub against the brake caliper support, which reduces rear braking effectiveness.
