Have you found any fairings (besides the Ducati branded fairings) that fit the bike with the STOCK exhaust? Motocambri has a bunch of choices, but they are all for the RACE exhaust.

Yes, First Gear is the HIGH, it's like taking off in 2nd gear. Ducati did that so first gear was again usable, and the others are much closer together so you can rip thru them.
I changed mine to GP shift this weekend.

Lastly, What is everyone doing for BREAK IN??

I have had 6 good days on the bike so far, bike is very solid and refined esp on the gas and on the brakes as I have mentioned. Corner entry is where I am least confident, at turn in it just isn't the most confident and front turn in to apex just not always going where I want it at higher speed corners. I looked at @Vbreeze Pirro post to gleam what is going on there since it is the best 1 for 1 spec for an oem bike. If I can find out what length shock he is running I will try -1 SAP and what looks to be 1mm of fork tube above top clamp.

The other thing I am experiencing is too many neutrals downshifting to 1st. Sure some of them could be because I am not giving it the most crisp shift at lean on rights, but a couple times after I have made the down shift it has popped out maybe 10 meters down track. Here is a video, kinda messy session, 2 nuetrals going into a downhill right 1- after the downshift happens 1-just doesn't doesn't happen. After the first one I think I blow turn 1 after the straight... Front camera was glitching and shutting off seconds after I pressed record every session, even tho battery full SMH...

One other thing does anyone know where I can get a custom axle nut made? I need one for the drive side, the Sitta quick change setup I got doesn't thread far enough on to use the clip - needs to 1-2mm less deep

Crossing from 2nd to first in any shift pattern is complicated to the transmission...but since this bike has such a high first, it's obviously their intent to use it...I sure hope they have this figured out false neutrals are not fun in some situations...
 
Yeah mate. That's why I gear my bike to use second to sixth, rather than first to fifth.
Last track I raced used all gears, just had to be really deliberate going into first. Although, jumping out is different, to just accidently selecting N.
If you launch on first, does it ever pop out? If not, may need to be a little more delicate/deliberate/cautious going down?

Do you need the STD nut to screw in further? I had same problem and turned out the supplied carrier was from a 1299 The are similar but not same. You could machine back of the STD nut? I will measure one today and see how much material is There i can do one and send over

I would machine the carrier rather than the nut.

Plenty of material on the carrier and the but needs all that it has.

Yeah that is definitely an option too, would be checking alignment first if it's the 1299 carrier the chain will be out of alignment
 
Italians and their tolerances or lack there of… yeah I’d go w shaving off the carrier than the axle. Mic it out first and contact Sitta to compare it with their engineering schematics. Then you’d know if it’s feasible. I’d bet the casting is off slightly
