you guys could always go to hybrids if you cant stand the heat
Hmm..trying to see if it's Stoner without his gear on. Different bike for sure, but the rest I can't tell..

Not yet no!! But was in my dealer the other day (Mainly to drool over the bits I would love to buy for my 1199 and to make full use of the free coffee machine) and he mentioned something about an ECU upgrade.

Think that's the up map from nov/dec ?? Haven't had it done yet, getting a new display fitted soon, so I'll get it done at the same time. Just wondered if the heat shield was being done in the uk so I could hit 3 birds with 1 stone
Has anyone perhaps noticed a decrease in temp due to the up map provided by Ducati?? Maybe it helps the engine not run so lean in lower RPM's in turn reducing the heat with the cooling effect of the extra fueling...
I don't know just a thought..

I thought this might be the case when I got my upmap, but the weather was also changing (Fall) so hard to say. I can tell you that for this morning's ride in at 29 degrees, I did not feel a heat issue.

The questions I have, if anybody can answer them:
1) What are all the benefits of 41T rear and has anybody done it?
2) Whatis the cost of replacing to 41T?
3) Does this sound like the new mapping is designed better for 41T?
4) Is this brand new mapping, or the new mapping many of us already have?
Thanks for the info on that email.

Little brother owns an RC8R which is supposed to be down at least 20hp on the Pani yet in both standing and rolling starts he beats my ass 4 times out of 5 because of the smoother power delivery. On a rolling start at 50km/h mine can't pull 2nd gear cleanly and first gear is so violent I have my hands full controlling the throttle.
41 tooth rear sprocket will fix that as it shortens the gearing just a bit. Thought about going with a 14T front but it seems a bit drastic

Two things... That letter seems to have these reflections on the "R" model and no mention of the base and "S", I wonder if this was just geared toward an "R" customer but will be passed down to the other models
also seems the heat shield has been in the works for a bit now if you look at the Japanese version of the bike it has the valve cover...cover.

Oops i pointed this to a link, sorry about the size...
i'm just glad i don't have to look at it!
I think the exhaust shield looks ugly, but at the end of the day I want to be able to ride the bike on warm-hot days in Sydney, so Im installing as soon as they become available.
The traffic here is terrible at the best of times and getting stuck trying to get out of the city in hot weather is the worst! The bike is much hotter <80km/h then my 848 and 1098 were. For me the heat on a warm day is to the point where I get so agitated it affects my concentration on the bike. And when that happens, accidents can happen.
I ceramic coated the exhaust, ran the thermotec header wraps and have even added heat shield under the stock shield and the improvement has been marginal. I'm hoping this solution works. In the cool winter months you should be able to swap it out and use the heat for warmth.
-- side note -- during winter I definitely appreciated the additional heat. It's only been since the warmer months started did I realise what everyone in the US (who had just gone through their summer at the time) had been talking about.
