The exhaust valve at the outlet of the headers for noise control(?), what's the consensus? Remove it or leave it as is with the spring holding it open? Anyone tested it both ways with dyno charts showing the differences? Personally I see it as an obstruction that should be removed.

Im shipping a used/cleaned Panigale Fuel tank internationally to a forum member. On the customs declaration they want a detailed description. Should I label/document it a fuel cell or something else? Just curious if anyone has experience shipping these items. Thanks in advance.

Hit the rev limiter in 2nd on the street the other day and the throttle shut off. Looked down and main top light was lit. Kicked back in around 5-7k. Did I just hold it there too long or what? Does the Panigale even have a rev limiter? ("nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah" sound).

My 1299 was in to the dealer for a minor, slow fluid leak under warranty - just a loose clamp, no big deal, the bike has otherwise been perfect. However when cleaning it up prior to me collecting it after the fix they managed to spray so much liquid wax cleaner on the screen that some has...

What kind of pressures are you running on the Q3s? The Dunlop Guy I spoke to suggested that I run 36 psi in the front instead of the 31 I had been running in the Pirelli. But, he only recommended 34 in the rear which isn't that much higher than the 32 I had been running in the stock Pirelli...

Hey Guys, Prepping up for my first track day at Laguna Seca (yes, I am very excited). The tire vendor there is a Dunlop vendor, and I'm thinking of throwing some DOT "slicks" on (I forget the model), or some race slicks. Some questions: 1) I have Supercorsa SP's on the bike with maybe...

Hello! Have a question about the rear stand for our bikes. Since we only have a single swing arm we should use that special rear stand some people sell for $200+.... but would it be ok to just stick a thick metal rod all the way thru the other end of the wheel ( say you leave about 2-3" exposed...
