Hey guys,
Went for test drive, and loved it from first 5 minutes, and put deposit down.

I wanted to ask for recommendation of what to get & put on it before even riding it. I have already ordered and putting the radiator & oil cooler & engine guards, from Evotech. I know from experience from my other bikes, radiator protector is a very nice to have.
Also, tail tidy - just because it's neater.

What else is important you think, to get as first thing for it?
 
Suspension set up first . Then the Starace RSR intake system, some sort of tune like the Termi Upmap, a catalytic converter delete pipe and slip on exhaust of your choosing. Those will make the bike breathe freely and the engine will love you for it. After those items it's all just small gains and/or personal styling. The Starace intake will take a little while to get but the other stuff the dealer can install right away. Most of what I listed will not impact warranty especially if you pay them to install. The Starace RSR is a single guy making parts in italy but is recognized by Termi and Ducati
 
Hey Araitim,
Thanks !
I thought of small things first :) lool, but you gave me roadmap for this year . Never heard of RSR intake, now I have thanks. Pipe wise, I really think from YouTube video I seen that ARacing (Austin) slip-ons double barrow is S I C K / I must have.
However termis also look good, although more settled.
Thanks for replying, I'm deff want to make engine breathe better, esp after the first service.

The QS/ blipper ordered on delivery, I kinda like it.

BTW: anyone put fatter / bigger rear tire ..? Kinda thought if stock is 180, can I put 190?
 
Also, reverse (gp) shift: is it difficult to get it?
I seen some kinda little adapter from Ducabike, but I'm not sure.
 
Switching to a 190 tire will be a step backwards in the performance aspect. The rims are 5.5in wide and that is the ideal size for the 180 tire. The 190 tire is wider and you would essentially be squeazing the beads closer to eachother distorting the tire and removing the ideal contact contour that the tire manufacturer designed into the tire. You will basically be making a round profile as opposed to a flattened out section for maximum grip at full lean. The 190 will give you less grip at full lean and feel funny everywhere else. I put a 190 on my hyper and this is what I found. It sure did look cool though

As far as gpshift, if you have the OEM ducati quickshift then you will have issues with the quickshift if you switch to GP shift. I don't know of a module or digital switch to change that setting.
 
Hey @Araitim ,
Sorry long time to reply, was away.

But, today it finally happened ! I picked up my brand spanking new Hyper. I haven't ridden it yet, decided I'll put the full protection on radiators / engine first ( I have this already), tomorrow morning.

Thanks so much for your info on the 190 tire. Yea, look cool, yet not performing.

Dissapointing about gpshift. Yes, I have Ducati stock standard quickshift (still to get it on the first service; was part of the deal).
But, I really like GpShift, and I have track bike so don't want to get lost if shift while riding my street motard.
