Legends says that the Ducati riders spend more time talking about all the problems than actually riding it.

3k for a exhaust? Lmao. I love bikes but the bike exhaust companies are professional robbers hahaha

We're very glad that you haven't experienced any of these problems. Could be because you haven't left the garage yet. Lol.

Love my XDiavel! No issues! Yes, get the Termis...next level! Roland Sands makes great bling for the bike! Enjoy!

Been following this channel for years. This channel is the reason why I got a 600RR for my second bike. So crazy to see this man own a Ducati. All I can say is good luck.

CycleCruza I enjoy the honesty. It has directly influenced me in looking at a 2017 CBR1000RR. Digging it more and more! Thank you!

I think you should re-name the video since the current title made me think that you had already encountered problems with your bike. It should be something like "Common problems with ducati XDiavel" instead.

All those problems sound like irrelevant bitches. I think you can find complaints on any bike. That is a sweet looking bike and you are going to love the torque. As far as vibration in the seat when it's running... it's a huge V twin. Can't wait til you ride it. Congrats again on the new bike.

ah you know , all bikes have some problems you know, you have a dream bike, it will come a bit more expensive in a long run, but it's worth it, and you know it! Best wishes from UK!

Dude that bike is sick! I’m excited to see you try this shit out. Again, I want to commend you for always making interesting content! Cheers

Smart man. When I rode Ducs, I took it in for the prescribed maintenance. Aside from a slip on on one them, they were stock. Ducati never gave me a hard time about fixing any issues with the bikes...and there were a few. One of them happened a year and several thousand miles after the warranty had expired and Duc still fixed it on their nickle. As to the cold start thing, my second Duc (an STs) had that issue that the first (an ST) didn't have. Turned out to be the gel battery. Put a lead acid in it and it worked fine in the cold. Had the same issue with an FJR later on. Tech replaced battery with a gel and it wouldn't start in the cold. Went back to a lead acid and all was well again.

hey man a little wrenching is part of having a motorcycle, don't let a little cons bring ya down, they are bound to be there...congrats man a 3 bike bike garage, with 3 unique bikes is pretty badass...screw the haters keep doing you

I'm stoked on the termy exhaust and the bar ends ! That's one pretty bike

Can’t wait to see ur 1st motovlog on that bad motorscooter

What happened to never wanting to own a DOOGAAATIII???

It will smooth out at speed and belts last years can't wait for you to get that bad boy out on the road

Bring that Ducati to Colorado in the summer and ride some REAL twisties in the canyons west of Denver.

I have never had a problem with heat from the stock exhaust. The optional comfort seat really improves rear shock to the spine. I really would like Ducati to offer a quick shifter. I think might agree after you really get on the throttle!!!

Hell yeah. I'm excited to see you do your maiden ride w/review.

I wish u more success with ur channel and great rides with your ducati

The brakes issue might also be the Bosch cornering ABS. Initial bite is always reduced with abs because it's a break loose point of failure for traction. You should feel a slight pumping sensation when full ABS intervention is working.

So you always call it the "CBR one THOUSand double ARRRRRR", you gotta call the diavel the "FOOKIN DUCATI" everytime you introduce it.

Hey Cruza, love the bike! Just ride it & don't worry bout other people's issues, I think you're gonna love it. I ride the balls off my Sportster & if something breaks or wears out I just fix it. So far I've had no issues, I don't waste my time worrying about what "could" happen. Look forward to your first ride vid!

If you are looking for bar end mirrors, take a look at CRG mirrors. Revzilla sells them. The mirror is lined with a rubber gasket that absorbs the vibration from the engine. It's like looking out of a car mirror. I have a set on my Duc.

Can’t wait for that first ride. I’m ready to get mine. Real soon

Great setup

Cyclecruza, I went from a Wr250r to a cruza like u but one thing I have been struggling with is what to wear? Could u do a video what u think you will wear that goes with the cruiser style and also safe...

Yo Cruza, when you have ridden that XDiavel for a while, could you make a video about cable vs. hydraulic clutches?

looks badass man. cant wait for some better weather so you can do a review!

Looking forward to seeing you ride that bike bro!

What ever happened to a review on the Valentine One, radar detector? talked about a month ago, did you ever get one??

I have had a few Diavels. One of the two 2012 Diavels would go into neutral when in second gear and letting go of the throttle. A 2011 model I had had the same issue. When I took the 2012 to the dealership to get it repaired under warranty, they told me they couldn't reproduce the problem. I think they didn't know or didn't want to fix the problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

This is going to be interesting to see how the reliability is on your ducati. Congrats on the bike bud!

Nothing's perfect bro. You're bike is super cool, so love it for what it is :)

How’s the XDiavel for longer rides 200-500 Miles? Is it comfortable? Is the suspension too stiff?

Enjoy your new bike dude. Looks awesome ! Don’t worry about the issues. If they happen, they happen 😉

awsome vlog !! tk u 4 the update !

Interesting. Looking forward to the Vlog.

Love the lighting!!!

The back brake was a minor inconvenience when I rode the Xdiavel I thought it was just that I was not used to the position of the forward controls. But then I am used to riding classic Japanese bikes 25 years old or more so I have developed a riding style that compensates for spongy brakes! A word to the wise - main dealerships sometimes ain't all they should be. A dealership is only as good as the mechanics it employs. A good private Ducati expert should be able to do as good or a better job. However I recognise that you may have limited options to shop around!

Where can I get those gel padded shorts you were talking about?

When I was in Thailand a few years ago Ducati was shifting a lot of production to there. Where is the XD made?

Glad to see you step out of your comfort zone, you will love the F'n Ducati!!!

I am going to pick up a 2011 one (First Gen) tomorrow, hope I dont get all these problems.

How much and where did you get that bike ramp the red one in the floor

Cold start issues happen on some Italian bikes, pick up a lipo battery if you run into it.

Cyclecruza that looks like a real dream man cave. Only thing I'd add is a Camaro and a Wrangler.

I’m glad you bought it! You won’t have any issues with it.

Cool bike, love that sound. Powerful!

Hey CC, do a video on what you think about Irish Road Racing?

My XDiavels problems: 1. Main problem is getting suspension set. Any bumps cause a sharp upward and backbreaking smack on the butt. Some of this is likely because of front forward footpegs. It's very unnerving when hitting a blind bump as the bike bounces and flexes a lot, especially corners. 2. Fuel gauge sensor. I gave up replacing it after the 3rd one stopped working. 3. I replaced the stock exhaust with a Termi, not for the sound or power but because I was sick of the constant "engine light on". The problem was the exhaust valve always sticking and the cable from the servo snapping. 4. Front wheel gets a bit light at high speed - could be because I can't get the suspension right. 5. Last problem is I can't get rid of it because it's such an Awesome bike

It’s 51 degrees in Cleveland brother....Let’s go for a ride! Hopefully you got the Ducati out today

I always appreciate your input Bro.. good shit always 🤙

Gotta be tough! New bike and no clear weather.. it has style no doubt at all. Cool bike!

Did Ducati address those mirrors? Are they sending replacement mirrors?

Whats the rate on Ducati services there?

Cyclecruza, congratz on your bike. i wondered about the rear pecs (the stands for your feed). as i heared they are sometimes in the way when you do a standstill on this bike (probably depends on your body height/width). Do let me know about this whenever you have had the time to take this baby for a spin (on a nice weather day in winter :) )

A workmate chopped in the original Diavel (with no problems) for the new XDiavel. Months of grief with engine management problems and it going back to the dealer six times before he said "enough". £1000's poorer, he bought a Triumph Bobber. Ridden really hard it never missed a beat. Changed that for a Triumph Tiger 800 XR, again no problems and now riding a Triumph Thruxton, again hard, and trouble-free. See not all European bikes are unreliable. My '15 BMW R NineT was perfect. Now how to fix the faulty fuel level sensor on my MV Turismo while my '18 Indian Scout is in, waiting for a replacement ABS sensor and engine management issues. Damned electrizicals!

3000$ exhaust :o Save that money and buy 4th bike to your collection in the future. :)

I have the closed captioning set to show. It thinks your name is Psycho Cruiser. That's what I'l think every time from here on out. Beautiful bike. Enjoy the ride Psycho Cruiser!

You gotta get some throttle spacers for this baby it makes a huge difference with throttle response.

You need to ride that bike, clear your mind, and live in the moment. It will be great!

My friend’s XDiavel has an issue with the clutch… it grabs extra hard / early when cold… When sitting in traffic, with enough heat it will re-engage and the clutch becomes engaged even with your clutch handle fully depressed… the Character flaw is that it’s a devil and tries to kill you in different ways 🙃 Some people mentioned replacing the slave cylinder but not sure if that’s the same problem with this bike

I feel your pain man, i just bought a new bike today and now i have to wait until spring to ride it.☹

I can’t wait for the Cbr new fairings I cannot wait 👌

Dont worry so much man every bike has issues you got an awesome bike have fun with it

BEAUTIFUL BIKE 💕 but if my motorcycle sounded like that on start up I'd be worried

Cycle cruza. You have to do a fender eliminator kit pleeeeaase! It would clean it up sooo much.

You out cold CycleCruz got lil ol dirt bike in the corner 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like this channel alot. Some motto vloggers are stuck up

Good luck with the bike. I happen to LOVE that bike but have only sat on it, not ridden it.

Ethanol free fuel is virtually a must for anything that doesn't have it's tank emptied once a month or so. Biobor EB can help avoid those issues, and stabilizes both the ethanol and the gas, and can be used to stabilized ethanol free gas, too...it had the best results in an independent test.

I like the cbr the most. So cool you have all 3 types of bikes. When is the Africa Twin getting here?

So everything has some type of “issue,” and sometimes we create issues like adding mods. Mods aren’t a bad thing but we feel the need to fix something that isn’t broken:-) If you have a little issue here and there I hope you don’t let that diminish you experience, it’s all part of it baby! Can’t wait for you to ride that beast!

"Need to do some squats" 🤣 Otr, very helpful info in this vid

I forgot to mention, Lucas Ethenol fuel stabilizer and treatment, it's the Green colored Lucas bottle at Auto parts store. I keep it in my old cars and old carbed Ninja.

Limited rear suspension travel and an upright riding position equals spinal compression and pain. This has been noted by many reviewers.

Cyclecruza, I must say I was seriously considering this bike while shopping for my first bike last year... I was kinda looking for a jack of all trades bike that could be used for cruising the city, relaxing rides in the country, but also for the occasional trip to the coast, luggage included. In the end I settled for a new Yamaha FJR1300. The Xdiavel just seems too unrefined, 2 cylinders too few, price too high, maintenance too high, tyres that wear too quickly, no real practicality, no wind protection, no all-weather capability... All it has is that cool factor, even though that too might be dismissed as garish ostentation.

CBR 954 sat for 5 years with a full tank of gas. Drained the tank, filled it. Down the road I went. Hope the Duck works for ya.

If you have rubber brake hoses switch them to braided metal. Good way to get rid of some of the spongy feeling.

owned a honda rr600 and a suzuki gsx r600 and got rid of them after about 2 weeks because the were both flat and boring with no character. Got a ducati and ktm never looked back. 9 years later i just got an x diavel and its simply amazing!

First time I rode a Ducati 696 a car hit me I liked the way my sv650 felt better but I dont plan on ever buying a Ducati and it was 🔥 between my legs and ass

Man enjoy it brother ...gorgeous bike indeed

When are you gonna ride the Ducatay

I rode this bike. No good for us shorties. Im 5’6 and the break and shift controls are up in the front. Not cool. I like to be tucked in when I ride. Makes me not slack off and stay at attention when riding.

I can't wait till you get that bike out. Soon as it gets warmer I'll be out looking at one.

I rode a Scrambler with a Termi and even with earplugs it was booming in my helmet and the plugs were tight. The trouble is the sound is right down there next to you. So I liked the stock exhaust better.

That bike is sick! cant wait...

maybe you should have updated your cbr to the new sp model in black

I would have got an older Road King with Low miles,, Hope you Enjoy the Bike

Why you take down your new video: (

fuel stabilizers like "Stabil" help w cold starts on all my bikes, FI & carb. esp the carb bikes.

Yeah thats a really unique looking bike a mix between a naked bike and a cruiser like what you said a sporty bobber

Bug out down south? I don't know if I'd be able wait a whole winter to ride a brand new bike!

I love my Monster 1200. Get out and ride, I bet you will like it.

IHi, I doubt between buying this Ducati and cbr650f 2018, and after listening to you advices about Honda. I ended buying the cbr650f.

Ducatis are not like they used to be, the issue they used to have was services were 7,500 miles apart for valve adjustment, and belts. People purchased the bikes and did not properly maintain the motorcycle then complain they breakdown. Now they went to timing chains and stretched their services out to 15k. I have owned a 848, 1198, and Panigale, the only issue I ever had with the 1198 and 848 was the rectifier. The Panigale I have not had 1 problem with it.

Cruzaaaaaaaaaaaaa damn garage looks gooooooood... LOVE YOUR VIDS BUD...

if you do more videos in the garage, maybe some noise cancelling foam stuff could help! :)
