question

Does anyone know if the passenger pegs from base/S are compatible with the heat shield on the 2015 R? I know it sounds crazy but thinking about adding passenger pegs to my R because my wife and kids would like to be able to go for a ride on it at some point.

Is my exhaust heat shield supposed to be loose like this zSkfqMC79MY Should these be bolts that pass up through the aluminum spacers?

Ok...maybe you guys can help me understand this. I use Battery Tender panels on top of the trailer to maintain the batteries when I'm home (trailer is away). They work great for the '12 Tri's Yuasa and the house batteries on the trailer (2 6V golf carts). I also have a Nature's Power 100W...

I went to a lightweight 41T kit with a quick change rear. Of course, it came with a longer DID 520 ZVMX chain. IIRC, its something like two links longer. Can I safely go back to a 39T sprocket without changing the length of the chain? Would anything really be effected chassis wise?

Ok I have had it with this bike . The dealer has given it a valiant effort to fix the fueling issues to no avail. I just got the bike properly dynoed yesterday. It turns out my theory was right. It is running waay to lean from 4000 to 8500 rpm. It is also running pretty fat up to about...

For those that have a lot of carbon...... I have an R1 that has tons of good quality carbon fiber on it. Magical, akrapovic, cleverwolf etc. I have noticed that the bike is way more "buzzy" in its most recent form than it was when stock. I have since put it back to mostly stock to sell and...

Does any know how many 1199 tricolors where made in each year and total? Also how many R where made in 13 and 14? Seeing a lot of 14 still at dealerships and getting no bids on line. looks like the price is dropping quick. I have been looking at getting one of these but being new to Ducati...

Guys, I could not find the reply in owner manual and here is almost foolish question :) Never paid attention before how works the headlight. When the main beam is active only right headlamp beaming? And for the high beam - the left headlamp respectively. In the same time parking lights...

Hyped and ready to test drive the new 1299, I took a step back and enquired on insurance expecting to be able to just pay the difference on change of vehicle from my 796, current insurance underwriter wouldn't entertain it, so I'd have to cancel my insurance 10 months in and take out new...

I'm kind of set on getting a Rapid Bike for my 1299, my question is Evo or Race? What do I gain with the Race that justifies $300 extra? I know what the description says.. basically just ignition advance, pit limiter etc? I do ride a bunch of track days in Expert but mostly on the road, I'm not...

Just installed my DP Rearsets. I like the peg grip and the adjust-ability. One questions, I noticed the Toe Peg is slippery on downshifts. I'm running standard shift and wearing Astars SMX3 boots. I'm curious if it's simply a matter of getting familiar with the new rearsets, peg adjustment...

I have a 2007 Yamaha R6 which I purchased new. It was time to upgrade! I picked up this awesome 1299. I only have about 300 miles on it so far but here are my first impressions: Awesome power and amazing acceleration. This bike makes it easy to ride quick. When riding through city...

Hi all! Just a quick question to those more knowledgable than I. Would a set of forged Marchesini's off a 2010 1198S fit on the ol' 1199R Panigale model year 2013? Thanks!

...and probably because I'm a total newb to Ducati. Why is the inside axle diameter larger on the drive side than on the other side? When ordering pins for single sided swing arm (my 1299s) the pins are different sizes. And low and behold... They are! Whoa. Willing to accept all flaming and...

I am trailing my 2014 1199 tomorrow for the first time. I remember reading a thread a couple of years ago about these having a fork seal issue if you tighten the straps too much. Has anyone recently experienced this? I tried my best to make sure that I didn't compress the forks more than...

I'm looking at doing a custom exhaust for my Pani, question is do I need to link the head pipes for the "scavenging" effect or is it ok that they never see each other?? Lets be honest if I lose a few horse (3-6) on a ~175hp machine for not linking the two who really cares if it looks cool as...

Had a look around on the forum and can't find the answer so... I was out for a long ride on my 1299S last week (amazing bike). I noticed when riding over rougher roads (not potholed, just not billiard table smooth) the bike was kind of pitching me forward and generally bumping me around more...

All I love my Corsair V for how it fits my head structurally. The problem I have I guess is that my face sticks out too much or something. When i'm going fast (120+mph) the whole helmet and face guard smashes my nose and lips to the inside of the helmet. Is this normal or do I need to...

Does anyone know if the header from the 1199 will fit an 899? I need to replace the lower right section of my wifes 899 and just wanted to see if I could use the extra's I have for my 1199R (the stock non-termi pipe). Thanks

So, I want a new jacket this fall. As an engineer, I tend to be a planner and am starting to look around now. Since I am a fat boy... No one seems to have something in stock that will fit me. Not my dealer, not Cycle Gear. So Guys, which jacket maker tends to have the larger sizes...
