Recommended upgrades for the 1199 S

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Appreciate the kind words.
Please keep in mind that all of those mods came from sources which are special to me, and who truly went out of their way with monetary assistance and superior customer service. Furthermore, anyone wishing to obtain anything seen on my Tri, or any other mod in general is ALWAYS welcome to contact me for hook ups!

I'd like to think that Ive been open with members seeking some of the best parts, accessories, and gear on the market for the most reasonable costs as well. Also, don't forget that Mark419NY is another great member and personal friend of mine who has some diverse connections toward great deals as well. However, (in total jest here) we all know that I have more contacts than Bausch & Lomb in the end! Lmfao - LOL ;)

Thank you for the input.

So when using the Rapid Bike Module, is that something that needs to be set up by an experienced mechanic in order to get optimal results or is it easy to set up yourself?

It just needs to be installed. When you order one, you'll specify your bikes setup and it will come with a map already loaded onto it. From there, as you ride it continually adapts and makes new corrections.

I installed mine, but that isn't to say it's a simple job. If you're comfortable taking off your fairings and unplugging some stuff it's pretty easy.
 
Interesting tag name you have there Seismic, I'm assuming you work offshore living in Singapore? I had a couple of days there earlier this year on my way to London, it is a fun town. Welcome to the forum, the senior guys on here are quite knowledgeable and will have some good advice for you. Don't listen to me, I don't know what I'm doing, I just ride it and try not to fall down.....I have a similar theory that I use at the pub as well.

Cheers
JT

Well, not working offshore (as is on a rig or ship) but in the industry for sure. Great place to live and riding is best done in Malaysia. In Singapore there are limits to how much you can mod your bike :p
 
If bling is not your biggest factor and enjoyment is the most important, I recommend in this order:
1. Throttle spacer kit to get rid of the throttle slop.
2. Good adjustable rearset to up the pegs. Cheap ones are ok to test if it works for you.
3. Get your suspensions adjusted, and with correct springs. Even Ohlins are no good if not properly set up.
4. Paint protection kit.
5. DP Race or comfort seat, depending on whether you are track or street riding.
6. Exhaust or slip-ons, and get rid of that exhaust servo. Even just disconnecting the cable is worth doing.
7. +2 rear sprocket.

What happens when the canister is removed?

Nothing, the canister is emissions control and is responsible for a lot of hard starting. One of the breather tubes goes to the fuel tank and if any fuel gets in there it won't start. Be sure to plug the breather tubes after removal.
 
Like other have mentioned, here is what I would consider necessities.

1) suspension setup
2) new pegs or rearsets with better grip
3) seat
4) taller windscreen
5) throttle spacer kit to remove slop
6) 41T rear sprocket
7) grips
8) track days

After those it becomes parts for less weight, more power, and bling. But it all depends on what you want to spend your $$$ on.

Nice! Not that I haven't spent money on some bling items... :) But from what I've learned this would be first on my list and then I'd go for exhaust and then the list is endless.
 
I suggest a 1299...


In all seriousness the boys already beat me to it. Tidy tail, grips, windscreen are the cheap upgrades...after that, you're on your own!
 
Thank you for the input guys. In regards to suspension setup, is that something you guys set up yourself or do you use a shop? If using a shop, - I guess it can be a challenge to find a mechanic/suspension expert who actually knows how to dial in the correct setup for weight and riding style.

I took mine to the shop where they setup the sag, verified the springs were correct for my weight, and put in some baseline compression and rebound settings. This gives you a good starting point and then you can adjust based on your preferences/riding style from there.
