V4 Pikes Peak

I think you might be right. Disconnected the battery for a couple of hours (as recommended) and it seems to have reset itself. Whether that will remains the case after a ride...

 

Hi guys, has anyone got a pic of these on their PP?;

Those have only just been announced, so nobody will have them yet. Will probably be another few weeks before they’re available.

 

I didn’t know that. Thank you. I’ll place an order when they become available. They look better than the alternatives.

 

Yeah Evotech stuff is the best, but they can take a while between appearing on the website and actually being available. I’ve submitted a notification request when they’re available, as I’ve wanted these since getting the bike.

 

Look better but won’t be as effective as the Ducati engine bars.

 

True, but engine bars are a bit OTT unless you’re going off-road! Let’s face it, anything other than a stationery topple on the PP will involve insurance anyway.

 

I fitted engine bars on my V4S after talking to a Ducati dealer in Norway who had seen radiator damage after a couple of stationery topple overs. I assume bits of broken wings/flaps/fans could be pushed into the radiator. I never fitted engine bars on previous 1200 Multistradas and to be honest I don't particularly like the look however I wouldn't want a topple over to end a tour that's why I've fitted them together with the touring handguards.

 

Scary stuff. Hopefully the Evotech bobbins will offer enough protection for just that situation??

 

Well after an unfortunate event in the garage the bike was laid down. I can tell you from experience the only things that touch the deck are the bar ends/hand guards, the 'wings' and the mirror.

Other than that all good, just cost me for a set of carbon hand guards and wing covers!!

 

Sorry about your "unfortunate event" but it's good to know what gets damaged in the event of a "lay down".

Last timed I laid a Multistrada down while astride it took me a few weeks to recover from pull muscles :-(

 

Sorry to hear that. I was a bit over enthusiastic getting mine on the paddock stand on Saturday, but managed to catch it in time. If it had gone, it would have landed on my other bike, so I've learnt to slow down in future, no matter how desperate I am for that post ride beer!

 

It’s a pity you can’t option a centre stand…

 

The edge of the tank will touch the ground as well. Don't ask me how I know!

 

Evo tech bobbins now in stock .
And a pic of my PP on the way to Apple cross yesterday…

 

Cheers for the heads up, order placed.

Cracking pic, that.

 

I see they are listed on the v4s page but not showing on the pp page yet ?

 

I assumed they’re the same. Will let you know.

 

Ditto!

 

Received mine today, will either fit tonight or tomorrow. Evotech, in their wisdom, have decided to put an installation video rather than instructions, which will be fun, given that I don't have wifi in my garage!
