No ABS, no ETC, no Riding Profiles. Bike only knows one Mode. It also does not have a choke, it is an Idler (It sets the throttle higher while it warms up).

The air cooled ones are a little simpler. I had a 750 a number of years ago.

Nice bike, owned one for 25.000 km with pride and joy but as for 2023, it's not the best naked Ducati, immaculate old school feeling but leg room (bike is too low and knees are bent too much) and steering wheel position causes slow turn, after s4r I've owned a 2014 M1200 for 18.000km most of the issues solved, test drove a M937 recently for 2 tanks of fuel, yes looks are arguable but after the shelving the trellis frame handling is from another world

@massivemikeh 10 ай бұрын

Your s4r must've been poorly setup. My 05 model turns on a dime and is ultra responsive handling. Mine has heavier rated springs and possibly internals changed. Did you setup your suspension for your bodyweight?

@99yota30 10 ай бұрын

Can also drop the front shocks 1 or 2 lines and raise the rear 5 or 6mm which really sharpens things up alot

@@balagozanis1321 Yeah, I set mine up for me with advice from Dave Moss. He shows you how to do sag settings and compression and rebound. Having said that, your bodyweight is about perfect for factory settings, I would've thought.

Awesome video, i owned a ducati monster 696 for a few years Favorite bike type!

@deans4x4 12 күн бұрын

That's not a choke, it's an idle speed lever. Put it at the lowest setting and leave it alone. If the bike won't stay running, regardless of temperature, you have a mechanical or electrical issue.

i want to know how you set up your gopro and sound. Nice view and very nice sound.

@flip_moto 11 ай бұрын

thanks! on the gopro - which i've grown to dislike - lowest fps and iso as possible with medium smoothing. I keep trying to use density filters but they fall off and get expensive. sound is a cheap sony stereo lavalier mic into the cheapest tascam with db turned way down to avoid outside noise.

Um, what 'magnesium parts' would you be referring to? There are no magnesium parts on that motorcycle. They are aluminum parts painted gold. LOL 'magnesium parts' LMAO you don't know your alloys very well

Wheels are Magnesium alloy.

@morebutterplease 5 ай бұрын

the original owner claimed a few parts were upgraded including the wheels. As we all know, Ducati is known to upgrade bikes, and magensium is an option.
