Its the rear cylinder deactivation to help with the heat the engine gives off I had one the very first Panigale V4s's back in 2018. When it went into the dealers for a recall one of the updates was a map to deactivate the rear cylinder at lower speeds especially in town to help reduce the excessive heat issue. When I got it back it did help with the heat. After the first batch of V4s went onto the market Ducati introduced the rear cylinder deactivation from the middle of 2018. My 2020 V4 does run alot cooler than my 2018 V4. So that's what your experiencing it's running on the front two cylinders momentarily but only when your taking it easy at lower speeds. Although the naked V4 Street fighter shouldn't suffer with the build up of heat anywhere near as much as the faired V4. Keep up the good work great reviews as always.✔😁

The silence at 31mph is the exhaust valves closing. I purchased a HEALTECH plugin for my V4 (About 30 quid) that plugs straight in and keeps the valves open permanently.

Back cylinders cut out at low speeds to reduce heat on the seat which was one of the biggest issues with the V4 on the panigale

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 жыл бұрын

But this effect is only at a very specific set of parameters at 31mph in 4th only - you'd expect the cylinder cutting thing to happen over a wider set of speed/rev ranges....I think this is a way to circumvent some noise regs....or am I being cynical?

@bobcarter5548 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheMissendenFlyer Lol !! I would say you were right but this was told to me by the marketing manager of Ducati at the NEC on launch. It was in response to me discussing the heat issue so prevalent on the early Pani's. Over 31mph, you need the cylinders and the wind blast will be enough to cool the back pots. Helps that it is quiet also I guess. :-). I still want one all the same. Great bike.

@chrisphillips2358 3 жыл бұрын

Few things I've learned after 3 months of ownership.. 1) Too much plastic (Wife has twigged on to my accessory spending!) 2) No fuel gauge. (However I hear from a Ducati mechanic its because the fuel tank goes under the seat they have been unable to make a sender that gives accurate fuel level readings.. The cost and time to perfect was prohibitive). 3) the slack in the throttle, which you have fixed already. I used 2 quids worth of wire heat shrink to fix mine!

@SiddharthVarman 3 жыл бұрын

On the newer V4s, there might be a setting to shut the rear bank of cylinders to lower the heat and fuel consumption at lower speeds. Sort of a parallel twin. Will be great if you get a chance to someday try the old street fighter.

It’s a sneaky workaround for drive by noise tests. If you look on the plate on the bike it will say the decibels as tested at a certain rpm in a certain gear. The scrambler 1100 does the same thing. Basically it’s an electric flap that quietens the exhaust just to pass the test.

Back in the 70s you could get a good second hand car for a lot less than I paid for a new Honda 750. Also the insurance was a lot cheaper on the car. But I just wanted a bike, always preferred to be on two wheels. Most youngsters today would rather have a car.

@genuinecomments4008 3 жыл бұрын

Wish I knew the answer. When you see bikes now getting anywhere between 12 - £20 it’s an expensive purchase. Example; cars and a lot of bikes are nearly always PCP doesn’t really matter which you choose to buy the monthly payment V the value and mileage is the same and probably the 2nd most expensive item you buy after a house. It’s the monthly payment that dictates affordability and £200 on a bike or £200 a month on a car make your choice. Ride on your own or drive with your mates. That’s why it’s us older guys that buy a lot of the bikes we have the spare income for it.. maybe they don’t want to get wet and cold anymore and getting in a car v jumping on a bike is so much easier. You have to want to ride and that desire to me is being taken away at a young age. I started with a bike with an aspiration to get a car one day. Now you don’t need to aspire anymore.

Ducati is made for a no compromise rider of a certain stature. If you are over 6 ft tall, they are a little cramped. And I can't help but feel like I am lifting weights. You have to wrestle it, and it can get angry with you if you let up in concentration for a moment. At 65, I am more interested in comfort. Give me that couch that is known as a Gold wing.

My track bike is a V4S and i love it. But my daily ride is a new R1250R Beemer. Its a bit more low key for daily riding and i love that engine. I thought about a street fighter, as my daily ride but it felt like an over kill having two V4S' (one naked, one not) in the stable! But maybe i made the wrong decision! :-)

Hey TMF! I noticed you often say 'Akrapovic' twice. Why not take a journalist approach and check the correct pronunciation and forget about the other one once and for all? Like a TV reporter who interviews an athlete after the competition... they learn how to say the guy's name before the camera starts rolling :) There's a movie on Akra youtube profile titled 'AKRAPOVIC COMPANY FILM', where they say the name of the company... that's a solid proof I think. Cheers :)

Surely this isn’t recorded in winter. Temperatures going up and down from very low to 12°C, lots of rain, some snow, wind etc. and lots of salt on the roads so I’m still not riding. I did my lessons on a naked bike, mostly in winter. It was bloody cold on that thing. Is this bike worth the price? Aren’t there other cheaper bikes with similar characteristics? Bike sounds good. You don’t need another exhaust.

nice video Andy. Question for you. What degree would you say your knees are bent at? what I mean is, if your sitting on the seat and your thigh to the tank lets say is straight. The top of your knee down to the foot peg is what im interested in. Lets say the GS, the multistrada etc is straight down. How does the SF compare? Does your knee bend backwards to get to the peg? like the Tuono lets say? Or does your foot go straight down. My one knee isnt that great so I dont want the pegs to go back wards alot. The Diavel has a lovely seating position and knee to peg line. How does this stack up? Thanks mate.

Great start to a Monday morning. So the big question is, taking price into consideration, which would you go for? This one, the new Triumph or the KTM?

@RSfiregod 3 жыл бұрын

KTM if you like to hoon around. Although the new one is more toned down to aim on speed and not wheelies. Ducati if you love italian looks and want to pay for having the fastest most electronic supernaked. Triumph if you like to have a fast bike where the edges are smoothed of the best (read: smooth and powerfull riding) Aprillia tuono: the engine and maybe the looks if you like italian, but not ducati. All in all all these bikes are in terms of power and features quite similar. When choosing one you should ride these four and see which one suits you. And the best thing is not to judge on looks. Triumph always looked ugly to me, but the street triple got my love for how the engine sounds/rides and performs

Hey Flyer, I appreciate you would have returned the Streetfighter back to Ducati by now but I'm a bit late to your chanel. I have been looking for a new bike and I am considering the V4s along wiht the new MV Agusta RS. When you were driving around on the Ducati how did you find the wind buffeting with no screen? Appreciate it is a naked and by it's nature you will be open to the elements, but was wondering if you found it severe or better than other nakeds you might have ridden. Wouldn't mind your opinion on the new MV as well if you've seen or ridden one? Cheers
