What's wrong?
The rear wheel shaft is the rear axle for affected Ducati motorcycles. It supports the rear wheel at the hub and carries load through the single-sided swingarm while the chain drive pulls on the rear sprocket. That shaft has to stay intact while the motorcycle accelerates, brakes, leans, and absorbs road force.
On these motorcycles, the shaft was machined in a way that is not strong enough for the stresses seen in this installation. Mileage, riding use, and maintenance work around chain tension or rear sprocket replacement add load when the related fasteners are tightened outside the specified values. Under those conditions, the shaft can lose structural integrity and break.
A rider can notice abnormal noise or vibration from the rear of the motorcycle before the shaft fails. Treat that as a warning sign from the rear wheel area, especially after maintenance involving the chain, rear sprocket, or rear wheel hardware.
