Too much damping means it's more resistant to steering inputs & you risk reducing front end feel. I'm sure someone can elaborate more on it. I'm not well versed in the subject.


side note: take all of those damn keys off your keyring! Yer scratchin the top triple to hell! I can't stand carrying multiple keys.

I can't find both sets of my keys. I'm getting pissed off! Went to start the bike today and take it out of my basement.....Never put them on a key ring (didn't want to scratch my bike at all). I can't imagine how hard it must be to get an extra set of keys from Ducati in Italy or how long it would take Actually I can imagine!

Unfortunetly the 1098 keys come with a chip in them so the bike only starts with that particular key. You can't go down to the local hardware store and make copies......hence calling Ducati in Italy an ordering some more for my particular VIN number


Ya ya...the price of owning a Duc.....whatever!

[DBConz]

wanna trade bikes

shouldn't be too bad. only thing i've notice when ordering from the ducati factory in italy, is that they wanna charge you a rediculous amount for shipping, even if you just get something cheap like a bolt.


i just spent $160 in stuff at riverside and another $80 in cleaning products from autozone today. i think now i'm all set for the next few months...


ahhh shit my other bike is in pieces!

[catch2otwo]

My squidly bike sits waiting for a nice day...looks pretty hot sitting there doesn't it?



And the serious street tool is the one getting all the attention. Chain and sprockets, rear fender, some new rubbers, clean/lube the rear suspension...and maybe an oil change

ask weman. we spent way too much time figuring the damn thing out. honestly. just use their new website for the online calibration, which now comes with step by step instructions. also, previous installers have put pictures of their bikes, which may help. I used the speedohealer v3.0, which has the manual on/off switches. the new v4.0 came out this month and seems much easier. the problems we had, were the instructions were using part names that my OEM service manual werent using. once we figured out what plug the speedohealer needed to go to (from looking at a previous install picture online), it was easy. i have to go there sunday to recalibrate it actually. after seeing the instructions online, we were way off on calibrating it.

didn't we end up waking it go 15 miles under what we should have? i freaking hated that thing the directions were retarded. i had the dampner installed 3 times before we figured it out.

[DBConz]

i think it's at like +10% right now and it's supposed to be -15%

[1/2pint]

nice so lets go +50 then it will be supa fast we can even put a fake NOS bottle on it.


Catch if you do get one get the newer one and you should be done in 45 min instead of 2 hours like we did

[DBConz]

F that, catch go old school & add some comments to the aggravation we experienced.

[l3uddha]

does your speedo record & display top speed? you could really have some fun on gixxuh.com w/ a speedohealer and a camera

[DBConz]

the new 4.0 version does top speed. the 3.0 version which i bought doesnt. i dont care about top speed anyways
