  1. Picked up my new 848 on Saturday. Didn't notice until i got the bike in the garage. I assume this isn't normal finish to expect from such a marque. Looks like somebody missed trimming the vinyl in the factory. What do you think? I've asked the dealer to speak with Ducati to get this sorted, am i over-reacting?

  2. Which part of the bike
     
  3. Bottom of screen.
     
  4. That's def not right, just get them to sort it and give you a loaner in the meantime.
     
  5. Thats not right at all. Get the dealer to sort it immediately.

    Mind you the word "immediately" doesn't figure in Ducati or their dealers vocabulary :frown:
     
  6. Surely its just a screen change then isnt it?
     
  7. I still can't work out where on the bottom of the screen that is.
     
  8. The 848 Evo Corse in my local dealership is the same.
     
  9. Ah your right!
     
  10. Seems a quick botch job by whoever puts the film on the screen. Bit of heat, stretch and trim shold be sorted, altho tbf it sholdnt be delivered like that. I'd be pretty annoyed too
     

  11. I thought it was his bath?? :upyeah:

  12. pmsl!
     
  13. Apologies for thread steal! How was the holiday Anth?
     
  14. Good thanks m8,

    Still too hot for me tho, even this time of the year, so I spent a fair bit in the shade when I could.

    The old fella was over the moon when we turned up tho.
     
  15. Nice, it's an area of the world I've never visited but maybe somewhere we should try. I must admit I like a nice sea breeze just to cool things down a little bit!
     
  16. Im with you on that
     
  17. Is the vinyl stuck on the screen? Not sure that's factory if it is? Thought all the screens were 100% clear Perspex......

  18. Kinda confused too, mine came with a clear screen as standard. If that's the screen above the line in that top pick I thought that was just a protective film for transporting purposes? I'm struggling to work out exactly where that is from the pic though.
     
  19. Mmmmm I wonder if thats what it is and it wasnt removed under PDI? Likely the colour looks really close so when putting everything togther cold get missed
