Need some of advice on a DQS issue. Has anyone had issues with their quick shifter not working correctly on an intermittent basis. Seems to work initially on a ride then just stop working for some reason. I already had it back to the dealer once and they thought they knew what the fix was for it...

Hey guys! I am trying to sell my 1199 Panigale S and just need some advice on it. It has about 7k miles on it and I'm asking 15k. It is in NYC. Do you think it is too much or okay? Clear title no accidents or anything. The only reason I am selling it is because I need money for school and...

anyone know the best price and safe company to ship a engine from US to UK? what documents/ etc is needed? Having my engine built and would like to send it out if its not too much trouble / cost any help would be appreciated

Ok, Im looking to buy Termis for my 12 1199S. I have to chose between an almost new slipon with upmap or a full system from an 1199R without the upmap. Both are about the same price, what would you pick? Why? Any problem for the S if I put the full system without a mapping upgrade...

I'm getting all excited because my Ohllins are on route, and I finally lose the Marzocchi pain. Those who have changed because I only have a tape measure and verniers, any advice for setting the height position of the forks, will measure the center point on the axle to the triple clamp is I...

I have been reading quite a bit about power commanders for the 1199 and was wondering what everyone thought about it? Pros or Cons? Which to avoid? Etc...

I am quite sure many of you guys have run into the similar issue before on something like this. I have heard of using WD-40, Goo Gone, etc etc but have yet to tackle it with anything in fear of damaging the clear coat and paint at this point. This was the item which had center piece ripped off...

Guys, Well I had an unfortunate low side at the track yesterday on my 1199R. Lost the front. Good news is that I'm fine. Mechanically only sacrificed the left clip on, bar end, clutch lever, shifter. All inexpensive. Also broke off the turn stop on the lower triple but that's not a big deal...

Good thing we have a "Lounge" for WAY off topic stuff here eh? Got my eye on a new Toro Lawn Mower and wondering if any members may have the same or any Toro products similar to this one since Im about to pull the trigger on it and would love to hear any feedback from yoos guys! Its a...

Noticed a couple of weeks ago that my rebound adjuster on the stock Marzocchi forks doesn't do anything. From what I have read on here, this is a common problem. So my question is this: Should I take the bike in to have the forks replaced under warranty or just save up for the Ohlins drop...

Easy question: Should I trade in my 2012 1199 and my 2013 Tiger 800 for a Multistrada? The Multi is both of my bikes in one and I often think it will be nice to have only one motorcycle. I do need the backseat as my wife likes to go with me a lot, which is really the only reason I bought...

I'm hoping some Termi owners can give me some advice on a couple of questions I have. I've managed to get my hands on a "previously loved" full system, or at least it's on the way. :) First issue is there's no 'up map key'. Does anyone know if I can get around this with a set up like...

The race bike (base, no abs, bazzaz, full termis, etc) is gone. 2 get offs and last one at 130mph proved too much for her. So looking to replace for remainder of the track season and for racing next season. Going to start with either an S or an R but looking feedback from those tracking...

I trying to adjust the height ( I want to lower it) of my shift pedal / lever. It's way to high. I wen I shift gears I feel like I have to lift my foot off the peg to bring my foot up high enough to engage the next gear! I've tried twisting the linkage but it doesn't to seem to do anything?

So I have posted this in a few forums that I am a member off. Any input would be most likely helpful. So after 6 years as a Firefighter/EMT I was forced into early retirement (herniated disk L4-L5) at 28 years old. Now its time to start over again. I am thinking of going back to school for...

I live out in middle of nowhere TX and plan to make the 3hr drive to San Antonio to get a Pani this Saturday. Looking at 2 PaniS. Both new 2012, no ABS and same deal... $23k out the door and DNA makes first $2k in payments. Good deal, right? So I also like the Tri, but unwilling to pay $4k...

When the Panigale-R was unveiled to the motorcycle journalists at COTA a few weeks ago, Ducati brought about 24 Panigale-R's to the event, so the writers could ride the bike and formulate opinions on the new iteration and write about it in their respective magazines or blogs. I have the...

Hey fellow 1199 owners! I have some spare cash to spend and thinking of adding some carbon! i thinking of getting the belly pan in carbon but i am not sure if it will suit the lines of the bike. Ideally i like to go carbon tail and carbon belly pan but i think it will look odd being a...
