I was just looking at your website just now, do you have more information about the tuning that you’ve done for this model? Would you mind putting a link here? The only reason is because I want to compare with the BT Tune. UpMap is driving me crazy. I was able to turn the throttle response down which somewhat smoothed out the jerkiness of the low RPM first and second gears. Also, it’s really interfering with me picking up the front wheel for fun even with the wheelie controlled turned down to two, which should give me a front wheel pick up of at least a meter. I was so embarrassed in front of my friends yesterday. “Watch this!” 2 failed wheelies. 😂
The info about my tuning projects can be on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/deussenengines/
Here is a post about the 2025 Pani V4:
The results you see there are based on the EU calibration which is not peak hp limited like the US model. So the peak performance increase on the US model is even better.

In general the hp/torque charts are actually only a small portion of the improvements you notice when riding the bike with my map. There are many small but improvements in the map that improve rideability/smoothness.

Also the latest unique feature that I just developed for the 2025 Pani V4 is the power mode dependent exhaust valve control. My current standard map features a closed exhaust valve (like stock) in the power modes low and medium. In power modes high and full you have an open exhaust valve.
 
Hey, does anyone have any idea how the parking lights works ? I mean i know how to activate it, but for some reason it just turns off after staying on for about 10 sec. I tried it both with DRL on auto and manual.
 
UPDATE: I took my bike in for its first service on December 20 after hitting 600 miles. I purchased the bike on December 11 and had been working to put on the miles for the first service so I could take it to the track on December 21. However, on December 18, I noticed that the rear brake stopped working while stopped at an uphill traffic light

When I brought the bike in for the scheduled service at Pro Italia in Burbank on December 20, the technicians discovered that the engine heat had melted the rear brake line, all rear break fluid leaking. As a result, I had been riding without a functioning rear brake for two days. Additionally, the heat had melted the wire for the rear wheel’s speed sensor. According to the technicians, the engine heat was so intense that it managed to penetrate the heat shield and melt the brake line and wire.

I’ve now been without the bike for five days (today is December 24), and they still don’t have the replacement parts to fix it. The technicians mentioned that this issue might even lead to a recall, as Ducati has never encountered anything like this before and shouldn’t have happened. I was riding well within the break in 7500 rpm’s for the week after I brought the V4S home.

Given the circumstances, I’m considering canceling my contract. If this is indicative of potential ongoing issues with this new model, I’d rather not deal with months of inconvenience and downtime.
I am now with my new V4S 2025 for 4000 km (bought in Nov'24) and it is an amazing bike. It is comfortable, easy to ride, potent and goes really well. I have to say I had the same issue with the rear break fluid (the frist day!! I went out of rear break). They fixed (now it is a recall from Ducati I guess) it putting a heat band all around the rear break tube that goes to the pump (rear one). No problem since then. I am 1,79 m tall and I found it quite comfortable even for 500 Km of canoying the same day. This machine is the best sport one I ever had (before a Suzuki GSXR 1000 R (2020) and a Tuono V4 RR (2026)). Very soon I will enter for track days. I will post my impressions.
