The R still comes with a dry clutch, correct? Why replace?

Seems about right considering that the engine brief design brief is reducing rotational inertia and friction. Must rev so quick

Looks good man, I suspect after seeing that pic that the livery looks better in person than it does in the marketing pics.
How’s she look in person to you?
In the pic you posted that’s not photo shopped it looks pretty good to me.

Ducati stated 1kg less mass on the clutch for the rotational loss, I think!!

That’s actually pretty cool, does anybody know if that clutch will fit in the earlier V4S models?

Will spin up faster, less rotational mass as mentioned above ^^^
Also for people riding on the street will prolly be roasted in even less time...

Brought it home yesterday and straight to the lift
1-Exhaust
2-Subframe
then I need to prioritize what can be done, I have temp DP fairings so I have to make a call how far I can go as I think I have to keep OEM front stay on to manage the faux headlight intake situation. I want to get some laps in next weekend so after exhaust I will see if I have time to do brakes and other bits.

**Update**
Went deeper then otherwise expected, knocked out exhaust + radiator - really only because I had some help.
Removing the airbox + throttle bodies is quite an under taking simply due to the density and of the cables + routing. Also it's essentially a 4 layer removal to get in between the cylinders heads. I could not have done this but I wizard to help me, after that made the exhaust seem like replacing a foot peg, but I will say that the OEM exhaust was so hard to get the pipe joints to loosen it was insane - 2 adult men struggling to get them apart.
Radiator went on no problem after seating the hose in the V.

**Some things to note
+Variable intake
+Throttle has different connector, Domino will not work. The arm throttle does feel way different I na good way - shorter throw and way SNAPPIER on close

Karl did you take any std settings measurements before taking it apart?

It would be interesting to know the std set up please.
So Forks,
length of the stanchions from the seal joint up to the bottom of the cap.
How much protrudes through the top yoke.
Is the steering head angle the same with the L on the right side?
Shock
Do you have a ride height tool?
If you've had the shock out std length eye to eye.
Does the rocker and tie rods look the same, and same length?
Swingarm
pivot to front of the SA eccentric recess.
It would be interesting to know how these are the same or differ ...
thanks

I spent ALL day yesterday trying to figure out how to pull my rear shock and was flummoxed a few times along the way. I can’t imagine doing this. I do not envy you one bit . These bikes are not mechanic friendly. Only thing my bike will be getting is oil changes from now on…
But why stop here and break it all the way down and split the engine so we can have a look see haha?
