https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/corrosion-under-water-pump-cover.72749/ it’s mainly the foam that causes the corrosion. It’s only fitted to help with noise test requirements. The earlier bikes didn’t have anything fitted and there are lots of aftermarket options
Absolutely no effect on warranty. It's a much better battery. It weighs 6lbs less than the OEM lead-acid and that's when this latter is without fluids. That a significant weight saving considering it's at the top of the bike. Moreover, the difference would have been even greater had I purchased the smaller non-HD version. Here's what I have: https://antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/restart-oem/at12bs-hd-rs/ To follow-up on my last post in this thread, I did change the gearing at the 600 miles first service last season and also replaced the OEM tires last week.
Thanks for the info, reading the article it looks like I can’t use my Ducati charger so that would be another £80+ for a new charger ♂️
T Charger must be designed to charge a lithium. Ask your dealer as the Panigale S is equiped with a lithium as oem.
