What are ya'll's thoughts on assembling a custom bike? I've been wanting to build a cafe racer for a long time but am turned off by all of the custom fabrication that is required. However, I've recently found out that Walt Siegl sells his frame, tank, and tail section individually. That...

Hello all New to the forum but so far, its great with some very helpful info. Quick question regarding the Rapid bike Lambda plugs. On the RB harness I have a connector labeled sensor 1 and a a connector labeled sensor 2. On the bike harness I have a connector labeled O (or 0)and a connector...

I've tried to search, but haven't found any concrete info. It's only $177 here in CA. I've turned my bike into a track only bike, what do you other track guys do?

Was wondering if anyone has done a little shopping for themselves and their motocycles? I know there is others out there like me buying gifts for their Italian beauties. Picked some Brembo RCS Clutch & Brake masters, along with a ducabike ignition switch. (compliments a great deal from a...

Today I received a ConStand bike tower for the Panigale: ConStands - qualitativ hochwertiges Motorradzubehör Very cool product, does not require any modification to the fairings and is rock solid. The only disadvantage: the parts you have to install on your bike are all made of stainless...

So i was riding along and someone pulled up and said " i had a Ducati 748 and your bike sounds totally 100% different then mine did" come to think he is right, this Panigale sounds way off to traditional Ducs... No dry clutch rattle, no Desmo valve clatter, no choppy pop...pop exhaust...

battery is dead. my 1199 in my garage and haven't rode it in about a month because my garage is broken. where is the battery located? under the seat like street bikes? lol

OK, Being thanksgiving, I will say i have been very fortunate in life to have had the bikes I have had in life, not even talking about modding them. But I will say that without a doubt the 1199S has more than stole my heart. Like many other owners I have done things to make her "Unique"...

Hello guys, the manual says the 1st 1000km=621miles NEVER exced max rpm 5500-6000, then till 2500km=1553 miles not exced 7000rpm. It's too much stressful... :confused:

I have brake drag on my 14' 1199 R track bike (1500 track miles). When I spin the front wheel on the front stand it'll only spin 1 revolution, and you can hear the rotor dragging on the pads. So far I've tested the following: * Cleaned the calipers thoroughly (simple green /w tooth brush) *...

Good Afternoon Fellow Ducati Owners. I have a 2012 Panigale 1199S with full Akrapovich exhaust, and MWR HE air filter. I had the Rapid Bike Evo installed and I enjoy the enhanced performance on the track and on the street. In error, I purchased the "YouTune" add on feature, thinking that...

So I bought the 899 for several reasons, and one was I had been away from bikes for an extended period, the other came down to price. I like the 899, and in the end though is a false economy of sorts, as I weigh 100kgs with riding gear, and needed to spend some money. I bought Bitubo steering...

So i think this is the coolest bike to hit in a long time.. Around $130k USD and only 99 being made.. If I could afford this I'd buy one way before I would even think about the RC213V POS... Enjoy.. The Suter MMX 500 is an all new 500cc V4 2-Stroke - TheRideAdvice.comTheRideAdvice.com

I can't find the source of the loud clicks, It might be from drivetrain somewhere. I hear them in garage while moving around the bike.Anyone have an idea? thanks

So I'm leaving next month for a one year tour overseas and I want to be sure that my plan will work out alright for storing my bike until I get back. The bike is a 2014 1199S with roughly 2700 miles on it and I have a two car garage attached to my house where she sits next to my Camaro. What I...

Just got my bike back from the shop because dash was flashing like crazy with can line and bbs and wouldn't start back up. Good thing is that I made it home, this is the second time this happen so now back to the shop to try to get it right this time. I am loosing faith in Ducati so PLEASE FIX...

I heard it last night in FP1 and 2, and again in FP3 - Dovi's bike making this crazy weird sound on deceleration, this chopping sound I've never heard before, almost like a motorcycle version of a jake brake. any theories as to what that is? is it increasing or decreasing engine braking?

Can Dan Gurney?s Moment-Cancelling engine breathe new life into internal combustion?

Hi, I am coordinating a gathering of Italian cars and bikes on September 26, in Mount Pleasant SC. This event is going to be a "special feature" of the local Cars and Coffee Meet, going from 8am to 11am. Hendrix Fiat/Alfa Romeo should come with few cars and possibly the new Alfa 4C. Jim...

I have a 2014 1199 S model. Its a track only bike and recently I've had a few laps where the bike wont shift into 6th. It is stuck in 5th, RPM's high and wont shift into 6th even if I pull the clutch in. Then the next lap it works fine. I really don't understand what makes it happen as its only...
