I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2013 Panigale S. But I realized I have an interesting dilemma. And one that I'm hoping some of you can help me out with. I live in a high-rise condo building with underground parking. I am out of town for 1-4 weeks at a time. Inside our parking garage, I do...

Good Morning, So while riding the Panigale the other day I started to think about how much throttle turn this thing has and reminded me of how my ZX-10 (cable throttle) use to have the same issue. The Ninja guys have a handy little "upgrade" which drastically decreases that travel which made...

Was working in my garage hanging hooks with a cordless drill. I turned around too close to my covered bike and drove the screwdriver bit into what turned out to be the tank. Thank God it did not go all the way thru but as you can see took out a chip deep enough to show bare aluminum. :eek: I...

Hello all, I need some advice. Im wiring up a device on a yoke mount. I need the ele supplied only when the bike is on. Other than directly wiring it to the battery with a fuse, is there any way I can wire into something else. I have all the fairings off and thinking about one of the fuse boxes...

The Pani is going in for 1st year service ( 2200m ) in a week or so and I'm torn between two mods, would really like some honest feedback. I ride on sunny weekends on fast roads with the " odd " trackday thrown in " SPA " and the ring again this year, these are my thoughts 1, Termi slip ons...

Just kidding! Howdy Lads, newbie here checking. Just dragged a '12 Pani S w/ABS into my garage, glad this day is over. I know how irate members here get when someone asks "talk me into a Panigale!" or what oil/tires to use, so i had to make an entrance with a joke:D. I am no troll but I love to...

I am hoping to buy an 1199 this spring ( fell in love with them this past summer, while my friend was buying an 848). Just unsure of the model to buy (base,S,tri,R). I understand the price difference, however. From the stand point of "bang for buck " factor. I have read some opinions that the...

I was went out yesterday on my Sport 1000 and was driving down Venice Blvd and saw a LA County Sheriff on one of the cross streets. I wasn't speeding, lane splitting, keeping the RPMs low/attempting to be quite and generally behaving myself. About 5 minutes later this guy comes up fast from...

This is/has been a much talked about topic but I obviously fell asleep in class when it was being discussed!! If you take these photos - turn 2 at Infineon - can you tell me how much of my weight, on a percentage basis, should be on the inside (right hand) peg vs how much should be in my left...

Trying to figure out where the power loss may be coming from on my bike. Gonna take it to the dealer, but I know I have a valve cover gasket leaking, a small coolant leak just behind the fuse boxes on a pipe somewhere, chain is loose enough it hits the cans easy, and temps climb quick past 100...

Ok so i have my first service on monday and i was wondering if there are hidden things i should request to have looked at. Ok so I am on the list for 1st recall with that bolt. when i go in they will see about the 4 other recalls. My right front lower fairing is starting to melt so hopefully...

You may not want to post your speeding videos on Youtube, and then brag about your exploits. Don't post your speeding videos (click on the link) Wait has anyone heard from him in the last few weeks?;)

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to regain possession of my bike after it was held against it's will by the dealer for the recall suspension bolt that, apparently, was not indicated since my VIN is in the 2000 range and not the indicated 4*** region as previously discussed. Tactics question: I...

I will be picking up the 1199 about 100 miles from my house. It's 5 miles of slow city driving and the rest is all highway. Not the way I want to break it in so I'm going to put it on a trailer but am concerned how to strap it down safely. Has anyone towed it and is there any advice for...
