After 620miles service, I notice few things.

Please take a look on the photos and let me know what should I do.
Thanks a lot!
All is on the left side of the bike. ( if you sit on it )

Take the CF part off and put it back on.

It should not have been taken off during that service.


Other is a known area for oil leaks coming down from the valve cover. If its not coolant.



Warranty time

yep, the cf piece is kinda fiddly about getting the slot to go in, take it off and reinstall making sure the pin slips in. These little pins and slots of the fairing are very fragile so be careful.

I'd run it to the shop and let them evaluate the oil leak. You might try wiping off the area and seeing if it returns, it's possible it could be spilled oil. Also check the oil level is correct and not overfilled.

Just got back from the dealer! What a great people!
They check and they fix it!
They tight the metal braces, he said hasn't tight as it should.
Drove 130 miles today and is all good!
No problems at all!

Thanks for all the help!
God bless!

The weather got better 50f :) and my wife told me to go again for another ride! Put another 120 miles... I could ride all day..night...but I have a 3 years old son...better turn around and go back home :)
I can not express to you how much I love this bike! I had a lot of bikes sense I was 7 years old ... Today I'm over 40 ... but this one has a special place in my heart. Everything on this bike is perfect... Sorry for been so emotional...but I like to thank all the ducati people to make a perfect machine and all of you on this forum that makes guys like me be proud and appreciate even more...
Thank you!

"Emotional" I completely realate to that with my first and only Ducati... Many have told me " owning a Ducati is like dating a stripper, it's a whole lot of fun, but there are going to be issues!". I love this quote and have stated it here many times. However, it seems to be SO TRUE...

Glad you're liking your bike so much. I took delivery of my 1199R on April 1. Rode it 70 miles that day. I've been carefully running it in. Roads have been sketchy but they're getting swept now after a long winter. Regardless, chicken strips were gone after the 3rd ride. The 620 mile service was done on Tuesday of this week. Took her out today and it felt "right". I've got almost 800 miles as of today. The more I ride and get accustomed to the bike, the more I'm liking it. Enjoy!
