You can adjust the headlights. They all come allover the place from the factory, even the manual page describing how to do it is wrong and has mistakes, but you can do it and get them in a decent shape for night riding.
It's the width of the beam that's the issue, the fairings block them just enough to where I don't like them at night. I've had them adjusted, better but still not what I find as ideal.
I think the fairing is holding the heat in and allowing it to flow out near the calf. Yo don’t get the same problem with the Streetfighter v4. Get warm but doesn’t burn you. Same engine… no fairings. Have you tried the aftermarket heat shield/spacers?
@markholmes5695 not holding the heat it. That exhaust heat shield design flows the air out of it on to your calf. Spacers wouldn't help that. The sf is also a different design as it is a different motor.
@@CaliMotoTV yes, sorry you are correct re the R being different. The Pani V4s has this issue despite same engine as SFv4 and cylinder deactivation. All I can think in that situation is the fairing are , like you said, pushing hot air onto the rider. It’s annoying as F with the money being spent on these ‘road’ bikes.
@@markholmes5695 I've owned every iteration of the Panigale. They have all been hot, so it isn't a surprise. I add these bits of info for those who might not be familiar with them and those who pretty much will only ride them on the street because there are many that do.
I rode a Ducati 899 for 15km in the summer considering to buy it! Ducati is a total garbage in the city and on the road. The rear cylinder and exhaust is below your bottom! My bottom almost melted on the seat! Engineering stupidity at it highest. You only get the looks.
A hot bike to look at and a hot bike to ride, best of both worlds. I guess in California it’s a pain, in the Uk where the weather is crap it would be great especially with some heated grips.
Have you ridden one? I’m I Ireland 🇮🇪 (hello neighbour) and even after a 15 min demo of one it was BOILing. I was honestly surprised, I know litre bikes get hot, but, this was hot enough for me to want to get off the thing. That’s not right at all :/
I haven’t had the pleasure or the pain. I wouldn’t doubt what you are saying for a second because I have watched loads of reviews where the owners have said they pretty much cook you alive. If you had to get off after 15 minutes because of the heat going out for the day in traffic is going to be unbearable. Some reviewers said anything other than leather trousers and race boots and you will literally get burnt skin. Probably explains why whenever I see people riding Ducati sports bike they aren’t hanging around probably trying to get as much cool air hitting them as possible.
On the GPS, if you get an Obd scanner you can turn it off when not on track or it absolutely is constantly searching. I had that issue on my SF. I agree 100% on the DDA app. Oddly it works really well on MacBook but they haven’t updated the software in ages. I can show you some screenshots of the Mac version when i we you in May. I emailed Ducati about an app update and no response at all.
Ducati's have always run hot. The worst part is you have a V4R and have a stock exhaust. Anyone who buys an R should be required by Ducati to get the full race system. Absolutely embarrassing you would buy this bike and keep it stock when the full potential comes with the full race exhaust. Probably using low quality oil as well.
Rriigghhhtttt, I'll keep my $8k for now, learn the bike more get better at riding it to a higher level. Then add the exhaust, I don't need to pretend like I need the full system.
Total bollocks about the heat on track. I have both 19 and 23 versions, no issues with the heat at all. What happened to this channel, used to be nice content, but total disaster now.
Ummm how so? I ride in Arizona and I have to move my right foot out on the peg to help dissipate the heat. Hard to be "bollocks" when it is something I've experienced...interesting you say it's a disaster as it has grown. 😉 don't worry though, a 5 things I love is coming next so it'll be nice😁
@@CaliMotoTV mate, I ride Mugello in 32C heat and no issue with heat dissipation on both 19 or 23 models. You either riding too slow on your Arizona or you have a malfunctioned bike. Reason why its first interaction is that Bill didnt post non-sense like this.
