Yo where the merch shop at?

Where's MV?

Hey Yammie what do you think of the Ducati Supersport S as a beginner Bike?

I just bought a desert sled. I just kill the engine at red lights to keep temperatures down. I’m going to do a 18 21 wheel conversion with 300 mm travel suspension. And lots of other weight cutting goodies.

Well said

yes he's quite original in a good way. plus n ot too much political correctness that's too much everywhere these days

Yes truly, but you can’t help but like as Moro geek and nerd. My last bike was a Ducati, my first an Aprillia so like Yammie Noob I cannot help but like flashy Italian stuff… heavens I have a wardrobe of Italian designer suits and cloths, yes and shoes. I have more than one suit that the starting price… well $18,000 would buy pretty much anything Ducati made the. Yes everyday I put on $700 Brioni shirts… but only old men chose Italian over French designers. So I am a sucker and nostalgic for Italian hand made stuff. I think the Scrambler line is the best Ducati has now… particularly with there beginnings. But it has only a contract signed on worthless paper and sharing of technical, perhaps outdated designs. We all know about doing deals with old Italian guys, like Enzo Ferrari literally bouncing Henry Ford to the curb and his 30 odd lawyers and accountants; yes Ferrari is still Italian. The Scrambler is made, designed, and bragged about by in that old territory the USA sole from España… in some sweaty jungle work shop… it’s still made with skill human hands, just not ever baptized with Italian blood and curses when Italian hands get cut by burrs and mashed by hammers putting even a real Ducati moped together!

​@mikarinne6018 Why are people always whining about political correctness. Say the Nword all you want just be ready for the consequences

Agreed, I have an Icon at Mty MX and not a problem, just fun

Saw that coming hahaha

pretty much!

and who knows he might even become yammie pro bro

I think he said he will always be Yammie Noob because there's always more to learn

@@allisonburgers2289 maintain a beginner's mind so you can always improve.

@@yammienoob truer words never spoken

@@allisonburgers2289 got it👍

🤦🏼‍♂️😂😅

Broo... Iam planning to buy a scrambler cafe racer version and iam from South india were temperature is killing hot.. Is it a good idea

Thanks for the advice!

heee way of life is the slogan of suzuki 😁

Still riding the Cafe Racer?

A scrambler shouldn't be an 1100, it goes against the whole idea.

It is too heavy to be fickle, to slow to be a real fasty bike, too unwieldy for cruising and too uncomfortable for any passengers and too hot when idling too long. The 800 even sounds better

Nope, it makes it a boxer motor.

Just dont drop that sled! Fragile and expensive parts just cant take the normal dirt bike low speed get offs....check youtube duc sled ride videos and find the one where one little get off was going to be way overly expensive to repair....compare same type get off on a japanese or austrian dual sport/enduro which typically involves little or no damage ....heck I used to take my Vstrom offroading and dropped it several times and the worst that ever happened was a cracked turn signal once and another time I bent the REALLY fragile stock alumium footpeg....bikes at all touted for the dirt ought to be designed to fully survive most low speed get offs...if not then the engineering SUCKS IMHO (btw if anyone wants to keep stock long stalk turn signals in new condition? Simply replace them with cheap chinese LED short stalk blinkers...well you also have to swap signal relays if bike did not come stock with led blinkers....but that is nothing...then simply wrap those OEM signals in bubble wrap and save them for when you finally sell her! OEM signals tend to cost a lot whereas the disposable chinese ebay led blinkers? I just bought another set of 4 on ebay for $15 DELIVERED....they work fine too! I mean they might not be spaced wide enough for DOT specs but whats the chances a cop will be that much a dick to measure and cite for a fixit ticket? Never happened to me or any pals to my knowledge..YMMV however

I headed into the dealership to get an icon dark, saw the full throttle, came out after paying a deposit on it :) looks sooo nice, and the sound with the termignoni exhaust is superb!

have you tried Barnett plates ?

I have one of those in 1500 miles. Fun times ahead for sure

Hey rider !!! If you are mechanical at all check out Ducati tool rent for a great kit to do your valves !!!! All the tools, worksheet , full instructions and shim selection! !! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍺

@@artmchugh5644 doesn't that void the warranty. Idk might still do it

@@stonestevens7414 have to check into that , 110 $ for the kit rent and 9 bucks a shim 😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🍺

@@stonestevens7414 i dont think it can in the USA....maybe other places however

Symptoms of premium-ness

Gonna be getting one soon :)

But if pronounce it that way then it doesn’t rhyme ;)

@@yammienoob carry on

Nah, you're good with your height for a Sixty2. The stock Sixty2 has a seat height of 31.1 inches, and 30.3 and 31.9 inch seats are optional accessories.

You could take a look at the Fantic Caballero 500 Rally if it's available where you live, I just bought one and it's a real fun machine. Price is okay and it's good for tall riders

@@doomsday9790 I like that bike a lot - not available here (Mexico) but it's a nice machine and I would strongly consider it. Not cheap - but nice!

Pre-Ignition & Detonation

high compression.

With low octane fuel the ECU will retard ignition timing to prevent knock, it also has the side-effect of making the engine run cooler. Yammie is correct.

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 assuming that the air cooled engine has an ECU. There are many air cooled bikes without computers.

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 You'd be correct if the Scrambler had a knock sensor. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't. So the ECU has no way of knowing you're starting to get detonation on the lower octane gas and retard timing.

I was thinking the same thing

at least the BMW won't break down. I'm struggling to see why anyone buys there extremely expensive bikes other than "just because Ducati's are cool, no?"

I would go for the hypermotard 🤣 Love the looks of it and its more suited for my daily speedy commutes I love the scrambler too tho

@@NoFaceNoNameee thanks! At the end I had a regular Scrambler for a little while, then a Hypermotard for a month and finally a Sports Classic GT1000. All of them great motorbikes, being the GT1000 my favorite by far. The Hyper is mental though, I just couldn’t behave on it :)

Hey rider !!! Ducati guy here !!! I have had 3 , 900ss ST2 and my .multistrada. 446.000 miles on them SO FAR !!! 😎😎😎😎😎😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

When I ride , I wear a shirt that reads " THE BEST THING IN THE HARLEY SHOP WINDOW IS THE REFLECTION OF MY DUCATI" 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍺

Lower octane fuel doesn't have to be compressed as much before ignition which means there's less energy there and thus less heat. At least I believe that's how it goes.

Lower octane gas causes pinging when an air cooled bike gets too hot. Octane is the resistance to detonation, a hotter bike will cause detonation on low octane fuel.

It's actually the opposite. Octane represents the fuel's capacity to not auto-ignite (which can destroy an engine). The higher it is, the better it is at it. If your bike runs hot, the fuel is more likely to auto-ignite. That's why higher octane fuel could help if your bike runs hot. It won't cool the bike or anything, but it will prevent detonation. The usual upgrades if your bike runs hot is a bigger/better radiator and/or a fan, but it can be tricky to install depending on the bike.

@@Number63fr Yep, you know what you are talking about.

2018 Scrambler 1100 special manual says to put minimum 90 octane in or can lead to engine damage.

I'm sure a Ducati dealer could help you with that.

I owned the 1000S ie 2003 model. The latest 1100 version of that engine in the new scrambler is tame by comparison. Probably due to emission regulations. Not sure about the 800s.

@@drewiediggler1 scrambler 800 puts out the same power figures. Idk if the same is true for the 1000, but the FI on the early I.E. models was primitive and that certainly contributes to the 800 feeling 'raw'

7500mi on the owners manual. Cost is about whole day.. or 2 of your time or call your dealer and ask.

Thankfully I've only put my desert sled down in the mud, which by the way this bike is almost way to heavy for and has the wrong tires for. Gonna buy a new shifter assembly for when I inevitability break mine. Otherwise I bought the bike for fun...not resale value.

So, it is a good first bike? Because i was gonna go sixty2 because I’ve never had a motorcycle but i really love the sled. 🥺👉🏾👈🏾

It's more expensive tho.

you'll regret it.
