The water pumps leak but I doubt they lose efficiency. The plastic dampers on the drive sprocket can check out probably. Hard to run these at such a high antifreeze concentration, which is like 54% from the factory.
, although it is sad that a new motorcycle you bought has problems, it is not the end of the world. Such problems can happen in the first production models of every brand and are solved (Ducati masters, of course you know better). Coming back to this beauty, I fell in love with it again in the video you shot. Everything is built from the ground up and looks like a whole.
I buy 2024 V4S in may and have many electric cremlins, limp mode. So first year or last year production is not a case every time.
For my bike thay finally find some oxide in ecu pins.
That's frustrating given the price of these bikes, you expect a flawless quality control on the suppliers parts and prior to deliver it to the customer. Even more frustrating when you see the price hike of a v4s in 4 years: nearly +7000euros
Yes exactly, first when bike comes one front disc was wobbeling and dislay dash was hull off lines and almost unvisible. Service change these by time, but still cant use bike 3 weeks because of that.
Well if no one's gona say it, I will say it, you'll should have bought a 2005 gixxer 1000, according to Zack and Ari.
If Ducati would only build bikes in Japan...
BTW I read somewhere that Ducati is now mapping per gear. So the electronic adjustability you're predicting on the new R's seems possible.
Quick update on my ‘25 V4S. I got a call from the dealer technician on Friday, letting me know the parts are on the way and should arrive by 12/31/2024. He also apologized and mentioned that Ducati asked him to confirm if I had dyno-tuned the bike, as they couldn’t figure out how else the rear brake line and speed sensor wire could have melted. Naturally, I told him no—that wasn’t the case. I pointed out that they can simply check the computer logs to see my engine RPMs, which were all within the break-in period parameters.
Those sneaky fücks are trying to swindle you out of your warranty
