1200 Hello

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Sonny Sutton, Oct 6, 2016.

  1. Hello,
    I am from Mexico City and have been reading the forum lately. I am the owner of a brand new Multistrada Enduro which I been enjoying so much and thanks to this forum I have learn and discover a lot of stuff related to this bike and Ducati in general.
    This is a fantastic motorcycle and it really has exceeded my expectations. I already have 5000 kms of almost pure pleasure. Went on a four day trip and had an awesome time with the bike. The only thing is really bothering me is a whistle sound coming from the front from 90 km/h and I have not been able to find where it is coming from.
    I am sure it is something related to aerodynamics because it changes depending on the way the wind hits the bike. I hope you can understand my english and can have feedback from someone.
    Thanks a lot and cheers from Mexico!

  3. Hello and welcome

    Never heard anyone complain about a whistle noise coming from the front of the bike at speed..?

    Are you sure its from your bike, and not your helmet..? Just a thought...

  5. I am 100% sure it is coming from the bike, I also tought it was my helmet but it is not. It starts ar 90-95 km/h and increases at about 110-120. Then at higher speeds it decreases. If I am going at about 100 km/h and i ride behind a truck it disappears.
    I am going to install the enduro package and hope that with the bars and lights the aerodynamics change... lets see!

  9. Hi and welcome to forum. Multistrada is a fab bike. I also have a 1200dvt and can report a noise..... However mine us like a police siren but only as I'm pulling away or accelerating from a low speed. First few times was convinced it was police but thankfully no.
