advice

There’s a 2014 Panigale 899 for sale in my area, I’m wondering if it’s a good choice in 2022? Info: 2014 Panigale 899 with 9.7k km for $11k CAD. Been wanting a Ducati for a while but damn they’re hard to come by in my area. I commute on them and go on weekend twisty runs, I know I know it’ll...

Hello everyone. I used to own a 2013 848 evo. Then due to moving away from LA. I ended up selling it and getting a husqvarna 701. I've never had a liter bike and I'm excited to finally own one. Now I'm in the market for another super sport. I'm torn between a 2020 s1000rr or a 2020 v2. I know...

Hi guys, so I'm super excited, I picked up a pre loved 1199 R with just a bit under 12000km on the clocks. My question to the wise men on this forum, do you have any advice/hints/tips for a newbie? My other ride is a S1000R, so the 2 machines are vastly different. I look forward to...

As I said in my intro... I am planning on buying another bike in the spring with my annual bonus, and like to fully research purchases. I'm looking at either a 996/998 or a 1098/1198, mostly for mountain runs, and a few track days. So, I came here for info and maybe a bit of advice. I like the...

I had my 19 V4 on the track Friday. I was setting up and testing the new Attack rear sets, RG Tank grip pads and new EBC GPFAX front pads. Control over the bike felt better and more connected. It took three adjustments on the rear set foot peg positions. I think its good. Connection to the...

I have found in life that you generally get what you pay for...my aim is to give something worth a lot away for FREE - on this forum. In person tuning is a different story... I am posting this thread to give back and to help people because I read through some of these threads and I routinely...

Hi All, Anyone here has done a clutch pack change on their Hypermotard 821 (mine is a 2014 Standard (non-sp) Hypermotard)? From the mechanical diagram it seems like there's no need to remove the basket retaining nut to change the clutch. However from the Service manual it states you need to...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and Ducati ownership but it has been a dream bike of mine for years. I recently moved to SoCal and decided it was time. Found a 2014 1199 Panigale S with ~10.5k miles. It has all the mods I am looking for (akro exhaust, adj rearsets) just trying to figure...

Hello Everyone, I just picked up a V4S this past Saturday and I barely hit 50 miles yesterday. So here is my problem/question... I already knew this was going to be a problem and need some advice. I live in a small town where the highest speed limit is 35. The city is infested with...

I just wanted to get a bit of advice on using Ti bolts in aluminium I use an anti-seize compound when using Ti bolts but on a couple of areas I'd like to use a thread locker. I know a few here have good knowledge of the science of metals and would appreciate your advice.

Gidday :) Back in the day my dream bike was a 748S "¦ now I can afford one "¦ I heard that they're helluva uncomfy plus I'm applying Jeremy Clarkson's rule of never buy your dream car - it will never live up to your childhood expectations. So I bought a Monster S4R last year and love it! :)...

Just had my front valve cover gasket replaced. The jack wagons left tube undone from the fan box and theres what appears to be oil everywhere. Photos to be attached. Can I place this tube where it goes and ride on or is this a bigger issue?

I was shown some nice pics of these and would like to try them, but I cannot find where to buy them for my Panigale 1299. Can I apply them both to street fairings and also to race fairings? Any suggestions where to buy them? Any advice?

Hi, I have had the front and rear MUPO suspension kit installed in my rebuilt 2015 Panigale 1299. Btw, I have the OEM Sachs shock for sale if anyone wants it. I plan to use my Panigale this year for both street and track (and likely convert it 100% to a track bike next year). I am 5'8" tall...

Hi everyone, Just want to intro myself. I'm not a new ride and have had plenty of bikes dating back to 1988. My last Ducati(s) were the 749 and 999 a number of years ago. I'm ready to get back in the saddle and start riding again after taking the past 8 years off. Question: I'm 47 and my...

So for the 1st time in 30 years I am going to slicks. Pirelli SC-1. Can anyone that remembers what this is like tell me what are some things I should be aware of going from DOT's to slicks. All of my experience has been racing on DOT's everything from Michelins, Metzelers. Dunlop SportMax back...

I'm short of deciding on a new panigale. Currently I work and live in Mexico but I would keep the bike at my return to Germany in a few years. The rational decision would be a 959 in US-spec here in Mexico, upgraded with the full Akra-system. Good for some fun on the road and the...

hi guys, need some help/advice please on a purchase of a 2013 1199 Panigale R. it has 7k or so miles. they are selling it for 14k but i think i there is some room for negotiation. per the dealer the bike was used for track, that's why it is missing the headlights and mirrors. the bike is...
