You guys are killing me! LMFAO -
Nothing has been
compromised by
MY switch to a larger rear sprocket. Not ABS, not TC, not fuel mileage and the position of the rear axle (sliding forward or backward-which is minuscule in big picture) will NOT change the wheelbase. Your
bottom line will be an increased low end responsiveness and another minuscule change to the damn rpm range, which actually works out in your favor. It's not so complicated, RELAX !
I have not seen flashes of light, demons, blown by State Troopers at 190 mph, nor lost complete feeling in my arms due to vibration (watch another topic pop up on this) while riding mine
POST SPROCKET CHANGE!
Don't become so wrapped up in this issue, its been going on for more years than Ducati has been in existence. The reason for mounting the "sprocket carrier" is so one can swap out sprockets ALOT more easily to adapt the bike for differed tracks, speeds, and low end -out of the corners blasts. The ECU does not need to be tweaked for this and no other equipment mods are required
UNLESS YOU DESIRE THEM.
Aluminum rear sprockets are just fine for 99% of us on this bike. If you don't feel comfortable with them order the steel one from Ducati. Go down in front, up 1. 2. 3. teeth in rear, buy a longer chain in gold, red, pink or rust. Just have fun with whatever you decide and try it out to see if it's something that makes your riding experience more enjoyable. Yoos guys are getting too into the weeds over this. If you don't believe me than check with a highly reliable source who has
EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE in issues such as this, and I
DO NOT mean the service manager or tech at your dealership (
unless one of the few prominent ones in the US - .... I know of one dealer who couldn't figure out how to remove the OEM bar ends for a member here just last week!) WTF over?????
RELAX MY FRIENDS!!
