Ok so i have had some recalls on my bike before i bought it, i am the second owner. But basically they put a heat shield on it and the heat is melting the rear mud guard what should i do?
 
If you've got the OEM or DPP mudguard I'd warranty it.

My CF one is yellowing, but it's not a Ducati one. On inspection it's got a slightly different top than the Ducati ones - less of a "dip" in the flat section, so it runs closer to the loop. Going to replace it with a DP one and see if that helps.
 
That was your bike telling you that it did not like the rear mud guard and to take it off, it wants its beautiful swingarm naked...

Think of the heat from your Panigale as a big inner hug from your bike, holding you close and giving you affection in the form of second degree burns, so you can think of your bike the whole day and week long. You can share your passion for Ducati with the Emergency Room workers as they wipe on burn salve. In the roundabout picture your bike likes you and wants you to think of it more frequently than its .......ized BMW cousin with its weird "winking" headlight.

Or, you can just change the mudguard. Either works :)
 
I don't recall seeing it on bikes until the new heat shields started to get installed so I am guessing that's the culprit. Yours isn't the first we've seen, but I don't recall seeing anybody with the old shields having a melted hugger. I'm sticking with the old heat shields for this reason unless we start seeing melted huggers on old heat shield equipped bikes and then I'll revisit that decision.
 
Alright troops,

Just back from my dealer today. Below is a link to a Carbon-Ceramic heat shield. It is slightly bigger than the OEM part. My dealer has assured me that it is the mutt's nut's. Perhaps once my budget (aka my Wife) allows I may purchase one and I'll let you all know how it goes. Probably not until next year as the snow will be inbound real soon.
