I had call from Ducati IT re- buying experience etc, the 1 thing I believe
Should be done with regards to the Panigale is have the dealer set the basc
Sag to the riders weight, many average people are ok but just quick view of the forum
Shows all the posts on this, for me being a lightweight my R was miles off
Add to that tire pressures were about +8
Just worth checking out, just get those 620 done ASAP, I had full kit Installed @ 0 miles, in fact the dealer add all there R's set that way at the PDI stage.
 
I've made the suggestion that Ducati should provide a range of springs for the rear shock, and allow the dealer to install the correct one at delivery. The 0.90 is just too stiff for at least half of us.

thank you for the info sean!!:D
 
Also start checking bolts on shifter ( mine do not loosen ) however I did lose 1 screw that secures the hideously large carbon heat shield on the full Termignoni + 1 spring on rear Cyl down pipe ( still missing at this point ) recently I lost a screw from one of the Term' muffler alloy trim plates, luckily I had a spare from other pieces I had previously removed. I left the Wet power mode on for first 100 the switched to Sport, personally think that best way to run it in because you can't really hurt it + you can ride it hard.
PS I now leave power mode in Race, would switch if I rode to rain or poor traction conditions. Get that Charcoal Canister removed @ service. Have fun & ride safe

At the price point these bikes come in at...makes you wonder why they don't. An option to have dealers stock a variety of springs and install at time of purchase according to weight seems like it would be a top notch thing for Ducati to offer. might even bring in added sales..
