Re: Hot Italian
This has led to recalls in the states I believe, overheating in warmer climates....
no worry of it happening over here

Re: Hot Italian
The rider's name is "Nitrouz"....he deserves his bike to burn to the ground just for that alone, frickin' loser. Kinda apt, though.

Re: Hot Italian
There has been a recall for fuel venting on the V4.
This guy fitted an aftermarket fuel cap not designed for the V4. I believe Ducati replaced the bike FOC.

It’s like the self combusting 916 electrics all over again.
My parents always said everything comes back into fashion at some point.

Re: Hot Italian
Quite possibly....if the breather hose isn't in place correctly then the fuel will come seeping out of the cap/seal itself, run down onto the engine & ignite.Rossgo wrote:Jeez thats bad! But what a photo!! Was it really caused by an aftermarket fuel cap?!
