1199 Panigale sprocket set up

tools99 · Nov 9, 2014

Ok,

I've read a few posts wrt the standard sprocket config.
Am I right to assume that the 15/41 set-up is the best and I should just do it immediately to my new 1199 (Not S)

Or is the standard set up the best and I should put up and shut up?

cheers!

There is no "best". It is a preference. If you want a little quicker takeoff, go for it. You can keep the stock chain and 39 tooth rear and just drop a tooth down front to 14 n save money by not having to replace your chain. It's like a 2.5 tooth up in the rear. 15/41 will gain u max top end mph. 14/39 will lower your top end mph. Difference is not night n day unless you spend most of your time above 170mph or prefer to minimize the number of shifts while at the track. If money isn't an issue, go the 15/41 route and shed a few grams with aftermarket parts.

The most fun with road going vehicles happens between 30 and 120 MPH. That being said, I went with a AFAM 15/41 lightweight kit and couldn't be happier. Shop around though, some places are a bit high.

I got mine here...

I went with the 520 kit, with the understanding that the extra weight loss comes at the expense of durability. My 1199 is a weekend toy, not a daily ride so I can live with that.

I also got a nice anodized alum. hub to top it all off from CNC Racing.

BellissiMoto - CNC Racing Drivetrain Parts, Nuts, Hubs, Flanges

Performance wise, the pull you get from the bike is amazing. Between this and the Akrapovic cans, its like a new bike.

Aesthetically, the black anodized parts with the gold chain looks like the way it should have come from Ducati.

Thanks, will defiantly look into these kits!

I would ride it first and then decide after you have some seat time with he 15/39. It's all preference based on your riding style. If you end up wanting more low end pickup then go for the 15/41 or the 14/39. I went with the 15/41 and am happy with it. I haven't needed anymore top speed...

I went with the 14T up front. Like it alot. Helped some of the surginess and throttle cutting out under 5k. Not completely but helped 50%. Part was $75 and $50 in labor to swap it out. No new chain or other parts. I was trying to save a few bucks.

Stock is dope, I would hate to go any lower.

Right now most roads I ride I can do in 2nd which tops out at 100mph.

Lower gears and im adding to many shifts on my normal canyon riding.

Ride it first. Then ride it a few months because no matter what gearing you have, it will seem tall.

I went with 15/42 and like the pull ... Reminds me of my 1198s

Standard is 15/39 for the standard and S models.

Horrible. Including the fat chain.

15/39

I have 15/42 pulls smoothly from 25 mph in 3rd without protesting. I also added full 1299 system and sprint filter. Feels as though the power of far more linear rather then the 2 stoke it used to feel like

15/41 520 conversion is what I did.

I did find on the faster country roads I was looking for another gear though.

CNC Ti flange nuts, polyurethane cush drives, CNC alloy flange, AFAM alloy sprocket and carrier, Proti Ti sprocket nuts, 520 gold chain, and Ti wheel nuts. Big saving in weight and fun to do.

Why I left mine stock.

What are you getting at the top of 2nd about 94mph ?

With new tires I redline at 100mph in second, about 99 as they wear down.

Me too; perfect for road riding and my tight, technical local track. That said, if I lived near a track like Barber or any other big track, the 41 would be the way to go. Luckily, I also went the with the 520 gold chain, polyurethane cush drives, AFAM alloy sprocket and carrier; with the quick change sprocket carrier, I can switch to a 41 if I suddenly find myself at a bigger track.

Any recommendations for chain? I been reading a lot and was wondering if the D.I.D evr3 520 would hold up to daily riding I went with 15F and 42R and aem everything the back all I'm missing is the chain.
