  1. I have Panigale V4S and also have OptiMate 6 lithium charger which I bought for my previous bike. I am looking to buying a cable to charge panigale with my OptiMate 6. I am yet to receive my motorbike but would like to know which cable is correct one and does this connect somewhere under the seat ?

  2. If it were me, I’d put a pigtail straight on the battery terminals. Andy

  3. Andy did you mean on the front tank side ? If yes any reason why ?
     
  4. +1 direct to the battery on the front of the tank, because it's the most direct route. It's how I've done it anyways.

  5. Yes, I do. Never been a fan of using the port under the seat. Andy
     
  6. Correct.
    I’ve no idea why the individual at your dealer told you that unless he/she’s trying to sell you the Ducati charger.

    There’s nothing wrong with going via the diagnostic port under the seat but a connection direct to the battery, with the lead neatly tidied away, saves having to remove the seat pad each time you want to plug in.
