smoke

Recently changed my rear header pipe on my 1299 the one that curls under the seat. The original one cracked at the engine. So I replaced it with a stock header pipe. Everything went very smooth. I turned on my bike and it shows a check engine light. Also after just a minute right at the pipe...

Just got a Panigale 1298S that's only done 1500 miles. I've noticed it smokes a little on start up but clears after 10 sec or less... Is this normal?.. I'm used to honda lol..

Hi Guys, Unfortunately these are not sold in Australia and I’m desperately trying to track one down. If you know of one could you please drop me a PM to a link. Many thanks Mark

Hi peeps I took the bike out on Saturday for its UK MOT and the external temperate was around 28 degrees (the bike had been garaged for over 12 months). After 15 minutes of town/traffic riding, it started to display "HIGH TEMP". After I get to my MOT bike station, a bike mechanic said...

Hi, What would be/is your choice for sunny day?

does anybody have this on their bike? id like to see it from a few angles.

q6tvgzp3VNU 1,650 miles on it Not revving more than 6K Not overfilled with oil Normal? Bad valve stem seals? Need to take it to my Ducati dealer? Thanks for the feedback!

Has anyone experienced white smoke during initial start up

I have a 2012 1199 base with about 4,100 miles, and it will smoke very slightly on start up. However if I don't let it fully warm up before shutting it down, it will blow a lot of smoke the next time I start it. This will last a few seconds. It will also smoke if I blip the throttle before...

:confused:

Just thought I'd ask the question, as I know it was such a worry on the 2012s... do any of you with the 13s notice a lot of smoke during start up?... Thanks...

My bikes all had some down time after hurricane Sandy blew through here last month. The Multi got good use with some gas siphoned off from the other bikes in the garage, as it became my main mode of transportation during the gas shortage that followed the storm. Was surprised to see the Pani...

Over the past 2 weekends I have taken my 1199 base out for 5 rides averaging about 30 miles each ride and have now reached 429 miles on the bike. Each of those times the bike smoked at the end of the warm-up period when I revved the engine. I didn't have smoke roughly prior to 300 miles. I...

Have not used my bike in 8 days due to weather and circumstance and it only has 134 miles on it so this morning I was expecting a cloud of smoke from the exhaust as I know they tend to do this prior to rings being seated and when left for a few days... Well nothing.. zero smoke.... Awesome I say...

Still smoking royally on first startup of the day after 3,300km. On the screen issue - Does anyone who has fitted this think that they are getting air driven more directly at their helmet in normal road riding? I feel like I'm getting more neck strain. Maybe I'm just riding faster now?

So there seems to be a school of thought that 1199's that are run-in hard are less likely to smoke upon start up, but evidence is anecdotal and a little contradictory sometimes. The purpose of this poll is to gather some hard data. Please answer the poll once you've covered at least 600 miles...

So my bike has going on 1200 miles and I'm getting intermittent (disco fog machine) smokey starts. However, a pattern has emerged… The bike only smokes on start-up if, on the previous start, it was stopped before the engine fully warmed up, i.e. when you just start the bike from cold to move...

Ok...now that the bikes are starting to roll in...let's start a poll to see where we stand on the smoking issue (only respond after you have completed the initial service after run-in). How best would you describe your smoke issue?

:( OK before you flame me this is not a complaint about the smoke. I have not determined either way whether this is a real issue or not. This is really a question :confused: or an observation which I would like to see if you guys have noticed and have any ideas. In this vid at 3.04 the smoke...

Hello everyone from Istanbul (that is in Turkey) Ordered my panigale S ABS 2 months ago. After years of problem free riding with my Japanese bikes, this was a tough decision for me. After all this will be my first Ducati, first Italian bike...well first non Japanese-non IL4 engined bike. (not...
