thoughts

Not a whole lot of discussion currently regarding the updates, maybe there wont be as it appears to be primarily aesthetic changes with some chassis/electronics tweaks. Either way I thought I'd start a thread where people can compile their thoughts and opinions. Personally, Im not a fan but...

Any one use either the VP Racing Fuels Stay Frosty Hi-Performance coolant or VP Racing Fuels Stay Frost Race Ready coolant on their 1299's? Is so did it work well? Or is there something better than forum members can recommend? want to do an coolant flush on my 1299 and wanted to see what...

I am about to sign on the dotted line for a 2019 V4 S Corse, but after reading about the recalls, bulletins, and issues members have posted on this forum I'm having second thoughts. This will be my first Ducati. I completely understand the growing pains associated with a relatively new...

Like em, Hate em, Don't Care? I'm seeing these new literbikes with winglets and I'm like, why do you need that for street bike? At what speed do they become functional to keep the front down? The Ducati ones look like crap, and Aprilia are not much better. Replacements are going to be crazy...

So I was changing my oil the other day and in the bottom of the oil pan I found this. I use a clean pan so it's from this bike and oil change. There aren't really any scuffs or markings on it indicating it's purpose and I went through every diagram I could find of the engine/parts and nothing...

Greetings o wisened folks of the Internet. As the title says what are your thoughts? Has anyone had any experience with them? Upsides, downsides. (I know they are a bit lardy but so am I). I ride twins and triples because in-line 4's are a bit meh. However I rode one when they first came out...

Hi all, Just wanted to pick your brains and ask some questions about the 1199 as a track bike. I currently have a K6 GSX-R1000, have had it almost 10 years now and the plan was to convert it to a track bike with quick change axle kits, spare wheels probably aftermarket shock and fork...

So, I've put 800 miles on her in the first 1.5 weeks since the purchase, still in break-in and it's been a torture, but I am by the book, so sticking to it. So I haven't used it "properly", but wanted to share a few thoughts and ask some questions. 1. I love the bike so far as this is...

I was going through CNC racings website and saw these. Bellissimoto carries them. What do you guys think of these? Anyone who purchases these would need the adapter brackets as well. Here is a link to the air ducts and the adapter brackets. Ive seen them on the Motogp bikes. I wonder how...

Hi all, Just thought I'd share some thoughts with you having recently had my 1299S converted to a track bike. I bought the bike new in 2015 for weekend blasts on the road and even with only 2,400 miles on the clock, I felt that I'd safely got what I can out of it on the roads. In short, I...

Well it's just under two weeks since I took the 1299s to the track (Snetterton) for the first time. Normally I use my 675, but I had an itch that needed a large scratch. Also this is the first time I have ever rode anything in the 1000cc (apart from a RSV Millie but that was fat, heavy and less...

Thankyou pA for giving us such polished reading gems that will keep us informed…

Hi, I am a new 1299s owner and just started researching adding an Akrapovic exhaust for sound. I have owned Akrapovic on every bike that I have owned and am a little "sticker shocked" by the 1299s offerings. I am leaning towards just a slip-on but was concerned if fuel mapping was needed...

Change it out or keep an eye on it?

Hey guys looking for a bit of help. I track a 2012 GSXR 750 but getting VERY close to getting the Pani on track as well but also track my 991 GT3. I video with a gopro 3+ black but now want to start to overlaying the video with data. I also want to be able to transfer from car to bike. I want...

Looks like the chain wax has burnt on the exhaust. Tried WD-40, no luck its stuck on there.

Hi guys, I've just sold my 999s and want to try out a Panigale. Well, I dont have the money to buy a clean one at this time, so I'm looking into a rebuilding a Salvage one. But wanted to ask for help from the 899 owners who actually KNOW these bikes and would be able to spot the damages...

In reading as much as I can on the new 1299, I watched a YouTube video showing some of the functions that are new to the 1299; one that piqued my interest was the "fixed" setting for the suspension that allows us to manually set our preferred settings. I rode a BMW HP4 at a local track and the...
