V2 owners!!! Roll call!!! (Theres only like 6 of us)

smoothgangsta · May 24, 2020

Twin Cities, MN. checking in about 180 miles on it so far. Had a 2009 Ducati 1198s up until last June and sold that shortly before we started a new home build, and had a 2002 Ducati 998 prior to that. Really liking the V2, can't wait to dump that fugly stubby exhaust and get and Akra put on at first service.

Current Mods -
Ducati throttle spacers - Throttle Spacer Kits
New Rage Cycles Tail Tidy - Ducati Panigale V2 Tail Tidy Fender Eliminator Kit

The Tail Tidy and throttle spacers I installed were great additions and make a world of difference! Just waiting to get my 600 miles in to get my first service and then have the Ducati accessories put on -
Carbon front mud guard
Carbon clutch case guard
Smoke tinted windscreen
Akrapovic racing silencers
Front caliper spacers

Cheers!

Get some throttle spacers to eliminate the play in the throttle tube for smoother control

One of the best mods ever, that is the first thing I noticed was the lag and vagueness in the throttle when I was pulling out of the dealership parking lot the day I picked her up.

Hello, new member here, just purchased my V2 over memorial day weekend. Already 236 miles. Absolutely loving this bike!

Anyone else having issues putting the kickstand down with race boots on?

Yes Yes and Yes. Damn near impossible with race boots on. They should have added the little protrusion that the V4 has and pretty much every other sports bike.

Yes, I literally have to use my hand to swing it down.

smoothgangsta · May 27, 2020

I ended up ordering these, because I cannot stand reaching down either to swing it down, guess we will see how they work -

my kickstand is controlled by a button on my handlebar. Flips it up or down without having to find it with my foot

I personally just extend my toe down pushing the peg up and then down directly on the stand. Took a few attempts but now I don't hit the bodywork

How did you do that? Did you design that?

No I’m just being a jerk. It would be cool if the switch just above the start button could flip the stand up and down. But before messing with all that, I’d just get wheel chock for the garage

Yeah because IFyou can find it the peg hooks onto the boot when you try to put it down. I had to get off the bike to make it happen a few times

Anyone tried these on their kickstand?

Still rate shopping on mine.

SoCal members- where did you buy from and what was your OTD? Any dealer recommendations?

I’m not finding anything under MSRP.

While you are at it, go see Dave at Newport...

Where do you live? Even if I was getting a few bucks cheaper lets say at Wheels in Motion or Pro Italia, it would not be feasable for me cause I live in OC. Im not riding up there for anything, not even the oil change. I wanted a local place that will be able to take care of me. My bike was delivered. The bike can be picked up for service too... I like the convenience.
