track

It's been a busy year. Been building the racebikes and being the crew chief for my buddy going after a second Open GP Twins championship in a row. Mission accomplished. My 16R just felt so happy on the track that it said goodbye to the streets this last March. Off came the stock...

Have not had much time to ride the V4 yet but I am taking it to the Circuit of the Americas this weekend. How did you prep your bike?

I am going to go run My V4 Speciale at COTA this weekend and wanted some knowledge on prep. I haven't had much time to ride mine yet so I will ask a few simple questions: Is there a way to turn off the DRLs? Do I have to disconnect the Brake light or is there a way to do it via the display? I...

I have a problem of my clutch lever going soft after a track day or 1.5 track days on a weekend event. It happened twice already. Feels very spongy with lots of free travel like there is air in it, and it messes up quick shifter I believe. I had several misshifts in COTA this past weekend at...

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...

Hey everyone just wanted to share my first ever track day and it couldn't be more special then completing it on the V4. I was so nervous when i got to the track. Im usually a very confident rider on the road. Have been riding for years and finally pulled the trigger to do it. felt very...

My friends are about to shoot me if i don't up and buy this set of AB track bodywork for the 1299 to put on my 1199 that's being offered up for sale on TDJ. "It'll be easy to modify", "just sell the upper and keep the rest" etc. etc. I'm not convinced. I called Whalen at Woodcraft and he...

Okay, so I searched the forum and looked through 49 pages of threads in this topic but could not find what I sure to have seen already. So apologies for the repeated thread - link to the previous one on the topic is welcome. Friend is prepping a very clean 1199 Base that only had 1 previous...

For sale is my used 1299 Ducati track day Blackout kit. For those that do track days but don't want to risk the super expensive LED front headlight unit or LED tail light. Front Blackout headlight is perfect except for normal track day wear. Rear Blackout tail light has a small crack as...

Do we have anything like the ytrac system on the Yamaha? I had an R1M before my 1299s. Did my first track day on Friday and was thinking about how much I would have like to have ytrac. I was getting a lot of activation on the electronics light but as I made adjustments I really couldn't pinpoint...

2014 Pikes @ The Ridge

The Superbike Slayer. Love this bike so, so much. Sorry for the bad camera angle....really frustrating but now I know for next time to angle it up higher. Gotta fix vibration on the tail mount too. Braaaaap... https://youtu.be/-Zhu3oYE-i8 https://youtu.be/W3aLW9EgYtw

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...

looking forward to my first tack day on my v4 31st may, just got to fit new rear tyre after getting a nail in it after 200miles , I pugged it & have dun another 600miles on it no problem but I don't think it wud b safe for a track day, also going to fit my new sprockets front & rear to gear it down

Anyone purchased any track body work and have any insight on fit/finish? I want some that mounts up nice and clean like the stock body without too much hassle.

Hi. First time poster on here so hoping someone can help. I have a 1299 and have just had track fairings fitted to it from MotoXPCambi in Italy. The issue I had was the garage that fitted them had to make a bracket to connect the Inertia Unit that sits under the OEM headlights. I did buy...

This has been posted on MCN: Anyone any first hand experience? Mandatory pitstops would be disappointing.. This weekend's American Grand Prix could throw a spanner into the works for race organisers as they remain on knife edge to see what sort of situation greets them at the Circuit of the...

Hi all First time poster, long time rider, hopefully about to be a first time V4 owner. I am looking to get a Panigale V4, specifically for track use. As in, I will use this bike for track days only and nothing else. No road riding at all. With regard to the V4 R, does anybody know...

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...
