Warning, If you bike is over revving for no reason, by all accounts (Ducati) its the throttle side end bar weight, replacing it may solve the problem, if not, sorry..

I had the guy's Metropolis Motorcycles run a full diagnosis on the bike no fault codes found, so they rang Ducati who said, they've had a few bikes with the same problem and it's the throttle side end bar weight interfering with the controls, replace as soon as.

I hope this helps..

p.s. On closer inspection, on my bike anyway, it's now found out to to be the plastic throttle sleeve, I feel a warranty claim incoming. So until I can that sorted, it's blip the throttle when the the over revving happens, which sorts it out ( in a work around sort of way)

Throttle would stick, so i'm having to blip the throttle when it happens, which is annoying.

What you call over-revving, I call cruise control

I'm so used to riding old beat up bikes that it's just NORMAL that the throttle only goes to zero if you use your hand to turn it. So that's just the way I ride everything. I doubt I would have ever noticed this, but thanks for mentioning it. When I let friends ride old bikes of mine they sometimes complain about a runaway throttle, when I don't even know it's happening. It definitely shouldn't be happening in a new bike, but it's not the end of the world either since it's mechanical at the control and not a bad throttle position sensor or something you can't control
