wear

I have a 2019 Corse and just took it in to the shop for the 600 mile service. I pointed out that while the bike mechanically is running fine, I have noticed a half-dollar sized paint wear on the right side of the tank. It looks to be where my knee comes in contact with the tank. It's very...

Afternoon, Apologies for it not being Ducati related, however. Yesterday was spent at the epicness that is snetterton, thrashing the arse of the trumpet. I have never had wear like this on a tyre ever. There was no suspension guru there yesterday which did not help. Granted I have been...

Okay the spring tune-up was going great, adding new parts... Life was good! Grab the 1/2" torque wrench, checked the torque specs and went to tighten the pinch bolts on the rear swing-arm. Without glasses I thought I saw 250 ft.lbs.! WRONG!!!!! The lower pinch bolt area is cracked...

Just wondering if some of you tyre/suspension guru's can point me in the right direction to rectify this (possible) problem? My 2015 1299S has worn out its front tyre well before the rear (first time I've experienced this!). Only road riding - very little commuting (mostly Australian B roads...

Hi Noticed that my brakepads are showing inconsistent wear between left and right front caliper. In the pic, the two most worn are from the left caliper. Significantly different wear! Bike has about 4k miles on it and they were stock pads. Any ideas on why this has happened, or is it...

A great article from the man himself - Dave Moss!

Sooo I get into this with my buddies often and as men we are going to do what we do. So with that ... How many of you guys when you ride to work you have on your nice business shoes on the bike instead of wearing your boots or what ever the heck you wear for some type of protection. Yeah I...

what kinda helmet lid do you wear usually? any good recommendation? I used to wear hjc and masei helmet ...

This past Indy GP I somehow found myself on pit lane, with no credentials lol. Well I sure took advantage of it, I met some of the greats including Caporossi :). My question is, would you still wear a helmet/gear that has been signed by one of the GOATS? I do, I had the pleasure of having...

ok I am back Was looking at my brake pads after my trip How long did yours last? My ride has 3600 miles on them and they look thin Might pick up a set of performance friction brake pads. They were great on the vette

so 900 miles later after a glorious 4 day trip My tire is past its wear marks What's your experience on how much longer I can use them

I started noticing this a couple track days ago. At first I thought it was a one-time rock chip, but it continues to grow in size. It's on the right side, near the bottom behind the front wheel. It appears to be wearing laterally - that is, the damage grooves are horizontal. Looks like someone...

So I did a trackday at Lightnight on Monday and had a brand new Supercorsa SC2 on my 1199. The tire had never been used. By the end of the track day it looks like I won't be able to pass tech inspection for another day. The rear really got shredded! I guess I was just wondering if that was...

I used to race years ago, so its not like I have never worn one. My question is I always wear a leather jacket boots and gloves, but been itching to put on a suit. The problem is I kinda feel like a goon on the street with one. I guess as I get older it seems more dangerous, and I sometimes fool...

Unusual tyre wear, does anyone knows what could be the problem? Tyre pressure is ok.

I just want to know how others are doing with the wear on the stock Pirelli tires? I love the grip in the canyons but I am tearing through these tires at a cyclic rate. I go through a front in 1300-1500 miles and a rear in about 3000 miles. I am wearing the sides of the tires to the wear...

So there are plenty of "How long will my tires last" threads, but I thought I'd add a little more detail than posted before. Just take it with a grain of salt as you may or may not ride like more of an ....... than me :D At 4100mi (all street) I'm on my third set of Pirellis and don't care...

I have just over 1200 miles on my bike since purchase in December. All of my rides with the exception of the ride from the dealer to home have been in the foothills and mountains where I live. My favorite rode that I visit often is mostly 2ed gear turns with some 3s and 1s. My chicken...

Its best if you keep this riding outfit limited to your cool weather and winter riding. Trauma can tell you....
