CF great wheels but for same price would rather have Magnesium when tracking just for piece of mind.

is the thought that a front wheel is completely unnecessary or that we can just leave it stock? just want to be completely clear about how far out of the box we're thinking

I never bother with engine oil or coolant. Too heavy.

This bike has quite enough power in it that you dont ever need the front wheel. You cant shatter what's not touching the pavement.

We are going to get this bike to another level. Honestly, Ducati is losing it. If they just improved manufacturing tolerances a bit better, engine oil would not be needed.

Fair point, but mine has wings! Guess I'll have to take them off and save more weight

He has a point!
Eight pages in and I still have no idea which lube offers the best performance : )

I imagine performance to be subjective in this context. I would argue that for best all out performance no lube is the way to go but longevity would certainly suffer.
I for one do appreciate that kind of dry traction though. TMI?

Thanks brother
I had already ordered the ThysenKrupp wheels for the bike that I traded in for this one…otherwise I would have just kept the Mag wheels on there.
this bike has some potential collectors appeal and those mag wheels were part of the OE spec on the bike, so I figure I’ll store them very carefully abs run the CF wheels abs beat those up and put the OE wheels back on it if I ever sell it.
surprisingly though, the bike handles noticeably different with the CF wheels vs the already very light factory racing mags.
