What he said, don't do too much as you run the risk of the dealer saying you've caused the issue. Nasher.
Yup, if it's something simple like the brake then I'd have a look. If not back to Ducati dealer. The reason I asked in the first place was because I've not experienced a Panigale before and wanted to check with you guys in case this was a foible of the model.
How hard do you think it should be? Ime it takes a fair effort to move the rear wheel by hand: it doesn't just spin when it's fitted.
Wow. As bike has just been PDI'd you'd expect everything to be torqued properly, but you never know....sounds like when I have put the spacers in the wrong sides or wrong way round on bikes, two full hand effort to spin.
If the 959 is anything like the 899 the rear wheel bolt is torqued pretty high (180n from memory), so I can't believe they have just over tightened it. If your risking pushing the bike off the stand then something is SERIOUSLY wrong (unless you have it in gear ?). I'd consider whether I was going to ride it if the rear wheel is that tight. If you feel competent enough, remove and install the rear wheel, but as its only 100miles I'd be tempted to just let the dealer sort it. RBW.
For reference the wheel on my 899 would turn with the plam of my hand when in neutral , with engine running in neutral on paddock stand the wheel would rotate very slowly , are you sure it's actually in neutral and not just showing N and still in gear, common on new pani gearboxes .
You sure you are not quoting a sssa there...most twin sided are about 100nm ish and I'd be amazed if it needed that much torque

If it was in gear the OP would feel the differences in resistance as the engine turns over and goes through the cycles of compression etc. I'd expect he'd recognise that and is reporting a consistent resistance. Perhaps Jon can confirm. Nasher.
Bike sold by Seastar in East Anglia and I live in Cumbria, prefer to know if I've got a problem before I progress to dealer involvement.
