  1. I did read that 1098/1198 can blow the air box off the stacks.

  3. Issue diagnosed. Backfire has blown a hole in the horizontal cylinder downpipe. On closer inspection there are a number of cracks in the pipe. See picture, will be a sale of goods/ warranty claim. But extremely relieved it wasn’t anything more sinister. Thanks for all the good advice everyone
    -2nd picture, it’s always advisable to store your removed Ducati parts on top of a 430 GT3

  4. Good news it's not something more nasty, but do you know what exactly caused that to happen?

    Great photo bomb by the 430 GT3, my 911 GT3 is close by as I type :)

  7. Blimey, never seen that before.
    Glad it’s not too significant a problem.
