Chaps. My headlights fog pretty badly. (Base model) Its not too bad when it happens in the day I suppose as they are still pretty bright. But, I'm doing a fair bit of night riding and now its cold the spread of light is really poor compared to being out in warmer weather. Anyone else getting this?
No? Its bad on mine, probably 3/4 of each side fogs up. The lads at Duc Manc are sending my pictures over to Ducati to see what they think.
I have an s so completely different units, just had the Ducati fog lights fitted by DMC Stoke and they're awsome, the leds on the S are v good anyway but these transform night riding at speed. Worth a shout when you've sorted your fogging issue
Picked my base model up Saturday, rode to work this morning in the cold 3c and mine had fogged the same. I had the fog lights fitted and can confirm they are awesome. Would be interested to hear what your dealer says.
If its happenning to a few of us we need to put a bit of pressure on them to do something about it. Send your dealer a picture and ask them to forward it to Ducati. It should'nt be happenning.
I'm going back to the dealer next week to pick up a couple of bits that didn't arrive in time will raise it with them.
Hey my 1200enduro manual states ducati can invalidate the warranty if the user does not clean & maintain the bike. So basically if you go 'around the world' on one, you need to wash it at every stop.
Anyone else? I've been complaining about this since new and get the feeling I'm being fobbed off. Well, I'm getting pissed off for sure. I'm about to lose it.
Can I ask, has anyone fitted clear headlight guards on their 1200 and if so do you still have the fogging headlight issue. Purely left field, I wonder if the guard would stop the majority of the cold wind hitting the headlight directly and causing the fogging in colder weather?

Now, that's a good idea, I like it,, but they shouldn't be fogging these days. A neighbour asked could they see the bike the other day, when they came round they said "ohh wow that's beautiful" and walked over to the headlights and tried to wipe them clean :tearsofjoy:
I get a bit of fogging on mine just after I've washed the bike. Can't say I've noticed it when out and about though.
Took mine out first time this year, on return noticed headlight fogging around high beam area. Will ring shop to talk to them, anyone had any repairs done on theirs yet
Been 4 days since I sent the latest pictures in and not heard owt yet,, must be the third or fourth time now. Getting a tad nobbed off tbh. I think I'll just put a warranty claim in saying it's unrideable and let them come and collect it. Fuking hate this shit when the dealers don't keep you in touch, I've been more than friendly and patient. Is it unreasonable to expect your headlights to function in cold/wet weather!
