Hi... I am picking up my new V4s this Saturday. Wondering if any of you received any items with your new bike? I was told there is a battery charger that comes with it. Cheers
 
nJoy your bike!

Ducati provides no charger as standard with the V4(s).
For anything but the standard V4, you need a special Lithium charger from them or 3rd party.

I got myself the latest 'Lithium' version of the CTek CT5 PowerSport:
https://www.ctek.com/products/vehicle/ct5-powersport-product11053

A quality Swedish brand. We're already using their Multi XS 4003 on all our lead-battery based cars and motorcycles for more than 10 years. Never slips a beat, perfect detailed diagnosis indicator and even a battery Recondition setting.
Be careful ordering the CT5 PS though, since many dealers still sell the outgoing ‘lead-only’ version of this CT5 PS which has an AGM- instead of the Lithium charging profile.
The latter you really need for properly charging our expensive V4S/Spec/R LiFePO4 LIon batteries.

Be default you receive with any new V4(s):
- 2 keys
- passenger kit (seat, pillion footrests, 2 tail-panels, under seat cover-plate for uninstalled licence-plate arm)
- stack of ‘bibles’: V4(s) user-manual, dealer stamped maintenance logbook and Ducati road assistance manual

Congrats! I only have 130 miles on mine, sad but true. I need to find some time!

I don't remember receiving anything additional to what RdashP has already listed above.

Have fun on Saturday!!

Did you buy a new V4(s/spec/corse)?
Trust you at least got both your 3 booklets and... keys? Else it's just a belle object to look at? :p

Funny you say so. I had the same with the passenger kit. Needed to specifically ask for it and then received it as standard. Although part of original purchase dealers tend to forget about it, since not so much demand for duo ride conversions with passenger... I wonder why? ;)

Yes, a new V4 S. I think you misread, I said I didn't get anything additional from what you've already listed for the OP.
