  2. I bought a second hand PP. It was first registered in Aug 2022. The dealer is telling me it has a 4 year warranty and 4 years of breakdown cover from first registration. The manual that came with the bike says 2 years for both. Which is it? Is there anywhere I can check to get definitive confirmation? ATM its the breakdown cover I'm more concerned with as I'm renewing my insurance and need breakdown cover. I really don't want to find out I'm not covered in the middle of the Alps!
     
  3. Check the Ducati website - all Multistradas get 4 year warranty.
    https://www.ducati.com/gb/en/service-maintenance/ducati-warranty/four-ever-ducati
    This might be UK specific - hence why you might see other warranty details mentioned.

    Did anyone else order these from Calsport? I know Multirider 75 did and already has them. Mine have still not turned up - 4 months now. Calsport seemed surprised when I said forum members orders had already been delivered. I've never used Calsport before, I'm beginning to wonder if they have any intension of fulfilling the order.
     
  5. Wow!

  6. Looking forward to it! V4S was brilliant… but not as engaging as the PP over the North York Moors today… even at sub 6/7k rpm. Outright grip and turn in is another level again. Roll on 1st service.

  7. The seat height on the PP is listed the same as the V4s. I sat on a second hand PP in the Harley dealer in Glasgow. (on ebay £22995). My feet were flat on the ground , On my V4s , they are not quite flat. I dont think it was a lowered seat . Anyone gone from a V4s to a pp and found the same ?
     
  8. I had the regular heated seat on my V4S and now also on my PP. I don’t think there’s a massive difference between the two. I think the only defining difference would be dependant on the rider/suspension mode you have set... Is difficult to draw a comparison on that as they are two very different suspension systems… ie sport mode on one bike may likely be a different seat height to the other - one system is Marzzochi Skyhook, the other is Ohlins EC2.
     
  9. RS tail on the PP

  10. Looks smart, wonder what the parts cost?
     
  11. If you get it from Vulture bike (ready painted) it's around £680. That's a no from me!

    I have found the part numbers, but can't get prices. However, I imagine you can do it yourself for a lot less.
     
  12. I asked when I was at Chris Walkers for tyres, the parts showed as unavailable from the factory
     
  13. I'm finding the PP a pita to keep clean. Riding waterlogged roads covered in gravel and mud obviously doesn't help. But the bike seems designed to cover the back end with whatever you ride over. What I'm finding a real problem with is cleaning the black plastic bits and swing arm. The painted bits are OK. The black plastic and swing arm seem to hold mud and crud after being cleaned. Once they dry out they still look filthy. Anyone got any hints or tips to clean/ keep clean these bits?

  14. I use Oxford Mint General Protectant over most the bike after ever clean, helps keep the dirt off: Oxford Mint General Protectant 500ml : Oxford Products I spray over the plastic and engine parts, bolt heads etc...
