What's the things that annoy you the most which Ducati could correct at little or no cost? Personally, Like that on my car, I would like an accurate speedometer that matches my GPS. Secondly, I would like to re-set the oil warning lamp myself. What's yours?
It's true that most Ducatis don't have one but many of the newer ones do. Personally, a better proxy would be "Distance to Empty".
This is definitely my biggest gripe...... With all the tech Ducati have thrown at these bikes,surely a fuel gauge can't be that hard to squeeze into the mix !!!
Old Ducatis - fasteners and their ability to fur and look shit in 20 miles of new New Ducatis - how impossible the easiest things, taking off bodywork replacing batteries etc, are!
Firstly, lack of cruise control on lots of their bikes Secondly, yes , ..it would be nice to be able to reset oil / service lights Regarding quality of finishing, I have nothing to complain about, much better quality than average I think.
Cocky dealers Cocky in most seem not to need to be good, because their product is sought after. Oh and servicing availability. Seems only one person a year graduates from Ducati mechanic school.
Easy reset of the service light would be nice and get rid of the unnecessary stupidly small Allen headed bolts.
excellent and original thread idea. Where to start? 748/916/996 etc - reduce diameter of swing arm pivot between bearings by approximately 40 thou on diameter. Multistrada 1000DS etc replace ineffective Dzus and rear pin fixings with long "hinge pin" fixing on battery cover.
They don’t make an ST V4s Sports tourer. It would be dead easy to do and they’d sell loads of them. meanwhile Kawasaki are cleaning up.
