abs

I have never ridden an abs bike. This is the first one. Whenever I pull the front brake lever it never engages the first time, I have to let it go and pull it again to engage the brake(second time it always engages). Is this how it works or is something wrong with my front brake? am riding...

Has this happened to any Panigale Owners here? Apparently, while I was cleaning my bike yesterday after Sunday's ride...I noticed that the ABS Sensor cable/wire that is connected and hidden on the left hand side of the Front fender is actually almost worn down to almost half. I can see a white...

Hey Guys! Just took delivery of my 1199 S ABS two weeks ago. It's my second bike. I started on a CBR F4i and WOW! What an upgrade! Going from the inline 4 to a twin is a life changing experience. I'm truly loving the growl on this duc. And how light and nimble this bike is! Schedule two...

Read the pages in the book, but maybe I'm just too stupid to understand how the hell I get a softer suspension. For the fronts I'm pretty sure I should counter clock turn the "screw" on top, and then same counter turn at the bottom part of the fork. But how do I set up the rear shock to be...

If anyone is interested in a Panigale Base w/o ABS. I know that Redline in Virginia has one where the buyer fell through. So if anyone close by wants to get one quick - give Jon a call at Redline. These are the same guys that do the ECU mods for the 1098/Streetfighter. I have no...

I took delivery of my 1199 S abs on saturday. Two words that can describe this bike are overwhelming and incredible. The reason i say overwhelming is because of all the settings that are possible to customize it to your riding styles. Its very hard to keep your mind on the dealer showing you how...

Picked up the bike yesterday and it came with passenger pegs, passenger seat, owners manual, 1199 small hardcover book, and 2012 accessory catalog. In addition it came with the fairing extensions that were discussed as coming only with the S and S Tricolore. They remind me of my RS125 fairing...

Picked-up my bike today at Ducati Newport Beach...those guys are awesome! Rode 200 miles today through the mountains from Newport Beach to Palm Springs. Will ride 400 miles tomorrow and then get the initial service done on Saturday. Initial impression is that the bike is awesome...but gets...

I see it a lot and just wonder what makes it important to mention. I don't see, "I just bought S with DDA!" If it is related to the topic, I fully understand. ie, what models are being delivered in what order? "I got my <insert model> (ABS) on <this date> after putting down a deposit on...

Just love this shot - looks ready to go!

After waiting for months and months, she finally came and was hatched from the crate last Wednesday, May 3rd 2012. I had advance notice from the dealer, Donelson Cycles in St. Louis, MO, that she was coming and so when I flew out to Toronto for work this week I packed riding gear and changed my...

A few random thoughts: 1) Mid-range torque is huge. I am very surprised after seeing several dyno charts indicating that it has less mid-range torque than the 1198. Perhaps the Termi system and remap changes things? 2) Exhaust sound is a deep, full, baritone note - loud and thundering. Beware...

no more miles covered today started it up and it smoked like a good un soon cleared tho' good news is my boy loves it shiny side up all !! Rocky:D

Picked it up last week and have been able to put a little over 200 miles on it. Smoking: It smoked a lot at the dealer, but it has dropped off. A couple days ago, down to nothing. Today, nothing on start, but while it was on the stand idling, the engine started to sputter a bit as if it were...

Hey guys. Just curious. For those of you who have bikes with ABS and for those who have ridden demo bikes with ABS, did you notice anything different in regards to feel of the brakes? I was doing some research on this forum and other spots on the internet and have read reports that ABS can...

Does anybody have the PDF of complete wiring diagram for the ABS and EMS (DTC,Ride modes,EBC) systems for the Panigale 1199 ?:rolleyes:

I have never owned a bike with ABS. I don't ride in the rain and I don't race. I've seen various opinions on the option. For those that have experience with it, is it worth having?
