Wanted to post an update on my experience with the CBE thermostat housing. It didn't work well for me. On track it averaged about 20 degree higher coolant temps than the stock thermostat. In June it hit 265 as I rolled into the pits and I said enough is enough. I threw on an H20 radiator and am happy to report it runs a nice cool 188 to 190 on track and barely cracked 200 as it was going up on the stands.
Yes, I took out the CBE bypass, Samco hoses, stock radiator, and stock oil cooler and put in everything from the H20 Evo kit: H2O Performance EVO Oversize Radiator and Oil Cooler kit - Ducati Panigale V4R / V4 / S / Speciale - ART115EVO
The bypass in the SBU kit photos is very different than what I actually got in the kit. The bypass I received is a one-piece silicone hose y-pipe that runs from the outlets on the heads all the way to the connection on the upper pipe. This is unfortunately the only pic I snapped.

Does the h2o radiator fit a 2018 v4s I was thinking about upgrading but not sure if it’s wider for the r.

Do you have an aftermarket dash to read the coolant temps?
Close, I'm using an Aim Solo 2 DL lap timer plugged into the diagnostic port. It can log the following channels directly from the bike:

The v4 has brake pressure sensors from the factory?
