my fully modded, still street legal 2023 V4S with lights and mirrors and license plate, wet fully fuelled, weighs 424.6 lb. Still has stock forged al wheels, no carbon fibre parts. and I used 3 scales to do the weight.
I just weighed my fully modded V4S and it came out to be 427lb. full tank of gas, full exhaust (-5kg), 520 conversion kit (I did not weigh mine but google says -1kg), and other stuff. granted I did it alone on probably not perfectly even ground, no help, compare to Ducati published wet no fuel weight + full fuel + mods, calculated weight is 432 lb. 5lb difference, decent.
For an almost Engineer/Commercial Airline Pilot I say "Oh come on dude." Do it again with 3 scales using a kickstand (you can subtract the kickstand weight later) because those numbers never settled. If you want to be accurate. I'm sure it's light as fuck but lighter than a Superleggera? Doubtful.
Idk I’m caustically optimistic about it as well but I’ll make a whole build video going over all the components and weight loss. Bodywork (no tail) alone was 11 lbs and the exhaust is over 13 lbs. that’s just two mods and 24 lbs. It FEELS like a feather it really does
I’ve got the same bodywork and it’s a lot lighter - no sound deadening helps. Same exhaust and it saves a lot. Some more on lights. Mag wheels on mine. It’s certainly light though. Pierobon rear subframe arriving this week.
@@jieevo I believe the difference, other than price, is that the Superbike one is either for the RS or you need their seat unit, tail, etc, whereas the STK one works with stock parts.
My R arrives this Friday. Can't wait :D If you've ridden them back to back can you feel a difference between the mag and aluminum wheels? I also had to trim the carbon belly pan of the 4 Uscite exhaust on the V4S. It doesn't fit with the Gilles Tooling rear sets.
I for sure can. The stock wheels to mags translates to 2.5 lbs and you can def tell a difference in the handling on track. If I was you what I would do is get the Marchesini 10 spokes not the 9 spokes from Ducati. They are another 0.8 lbs lighter and cheaper. I'm going to be getting either those down soon or the OZ racing magnesium wheels that are also lighter then the marchesini 9 spokes by 0.9 lbs
What are you going to do with the GPS if you get the carbon tail? Do you get access to the inside of the one-piece tail from Ilmberger? I’m going to fit some AiM stuff but there’s not much space on the bike to store additional electronics… 🙄
I did the same on my R. There was a bit of adjustment needed on one or two of the holes for the bellypan and a couple of bits where the upper fairing joints to the front fairing needed a bit of persuasion to line up. Great quality though. I did think everything would line up perfectly as it’s from Ilmberger but that wasn’t the case, although it was only 3 or 4 bits and the rest was fine.
Hey, i have a few questions. Those fake lights also fit 2024 V4's? There is a plug for the rear, but is there also one for the headlight or is this just a unplug it thing (no errors)? Also... what lower belly pan extensions to go with when having a high mount exhaust?
First turn, at that lean you should have been at neutral throttle bc you didn't start standing the bike up. Also, at that angle, your body is with the bike rather than pushing it up and away from you, keeping the bike upright as much as possible and your body as low as possible. Also, you missed that firat apex by a mils, you didn't front brake to the apex as you were already slowed WAY down brfore the turn, which is why you got on throttle before apex which is dangerous. Bad habit's and not knowing how to ride caused you to go down. WHERE ARE YOUR RIGHT FINGERS AND WHY ARE THEY NOT FRONT BRAKING?!?!?! WHO LET YOU ON THE TRACK HOMIE?! Maybe we missed it but i never saw your right hand on the front brakes at all... Turn off engine braking and get on your front brake instead. Also sign up for and take Yamaha Champ Riding School. Best experience of my life. I'm a way better rider and can romp around a track safely = fast. You can take their online core course for $89. That bike and you didn’t need to go down...i feel bad for her 😢 Take yamaha champ school....you're welcome buddy, good luck next time!!!
What would you recommend for a newer rider getting his first big bike. Not going to be track driven, just something sexy. Will the electronic suspension make a bigger deal on the street? Or would you go for the base V4 even more. I guess I'm just wondering what true value the electronic suspension gives.
Exhaust is a must because it deletes the cat, which is the source of 90% of the testicle roasting heat people complain about on the V2 and V4. 100% need a throttle spacer kit to deal with the slack/play they come with Any tail tidy that isn’t NRC garbage Getting the suspension set up for your weight is also 100% necessary.
The V4R throttle is different than the V4 is amazing Mine is set up for my weight as well, but thats not a mod thats adjusting whatcha got. Def should be done though
