New V4 S Owner

tapcon · Apr 27, 2020

Greetings all!

I am about to pick up a used 2018 V4 S (less than 200 miles!). I am no stranger to motorcycles...last bike I had was a 2010 Daytona 675 which I mainly rode on the track. I look forward to getting back on the saddle. I plan to keep this mainly stock (famous last words), but I do want to address the heat issue.

I looked at the kit that Ducati Spacers has...and as far as their website says, they do not have a kit for the V4. How are you guys keeping it frying the giblets?!

Cheers and thanks in advance.

A whole lot of Zircoflex gold

The Lieb under-tank carbon piece has heat shielding. ( Very expensive and the freight is insanely expensive to me in Aus.) I don't think the others have it but they are much cheaper and you could easily add some foil.

In contrast, Ilmberger's piece.

Expect to pay quite a bit. This isn't some Amazon product that's as thin as a sheet of paper....

I used various thicknesses of 'flex I, II, and III depending on the area of the underseat and inside various panels or heat shields, but it has made a world of difference when riding and splitting lanes at low speeds.

Zircoflex I Gold is a revolutionary flexible ceramic heat shield material, offering superb thermal barrier performance at minimal weight and minimal thickness. Zircoflex I Gold is available in 3 sizes, the sheet is 900 x 550mm size.

I recently ordered this and it didn’t have that exhaust tape... how did yours arrive ?

I'm pretty sure that tape came directly from them because I have the same but thinner cut of it. Pretty easy to find on Amazon.
