Re: 1299 Panigale Ongoing Review
Cheers Rossgo that is exactly my thoughts.
Been a tough year and when the 10 died I thought stuff it I'm getting a Pani.
I'm normally take ages looking but as luck would have it the right bike was available so I made the committment and jumped in and glad I did too its a stunning bike and been a life long ambition to own a Ducati sportsbike.

Re: 1299 Panigale Ongoing Review
Jeeze, just think if you waited another week you may of had to wait another 6 months just of searching because this one would of been sold. I tend to do the same, it's got to be the right vehicle for me to jump. But when you feel its right, it's right!!

It looks very crowded in there. I wouldn't want to work on that engine.

Change the spark plugs, certainly sir.Kwacky wrote:It looks very crowded in there. I wouldn't want to work on that engine.
That will be just 2x £3.61 parts & 17.5 hrs labour.

It doesn't use spark plugs, it uses wild caught fireflies from the foothills of the Fiemme Mountains

Re: 1299 Panigale Ongoing Review
Tbh spark plugs are an absolute doddle to get at the rocker covers are very easily accessed. Changing them on my Blade and Zx10r was a nightmare with tank off, airbox off and throttle body's removed etc...
Each to their own but I think there is a beauty in the design but that's probably just the engineer in me The packaging is tight and not a single mm is wasted but access to the clutch, spark plugs, throttle body's, cct, air filter and service items is very easy. Even the shock and adjustable linkage are accessible. That's clever design to me and that has a beauty but I'm a bit of a spotter on these things haha
Duke will know alot more from owning a 748 but Ducati have put alot of effort and thought into maintenance work scopes and reducing service costs and the mileage interval for service work is now nearly double a japanese bike.
Still alot of misconceptions out there.
