My 1098R has a quick action throttle and when pulling away and extra 1/4mm turn on the throttle has it revving to 8,000RPM and you looking like a right plonker. Couple this with a light mass flywheel which means it loves to stall when pulling away and gearing that will allow it to do 70MPH in 1st, I wonder why I love it so much. :Woot:
The R1 throttle has a slightly larger diameter drum, which is why you get more pull for a given amount of twist. This seems to be the perfect amount for eliminating all the slack from the Ducati cables - was on mine anyway and lots of people seem to find the same.
1. Ohlins TTX cartridges 2. Ohlins TTX rear shock 3. SuperCorsa Tyres 4. 70mm system I had Termi but Akrapovic is better and dearer !! 5, For the Track the Slipper Clutch.
If I had my time again I would have just saved longer and bought the 1098R still the best bike Ducati have built under £25000.
For my Enduro-1200 which with reasonably steady riding produces 400+ miles tank range. 1. Lunasee Pro1000 Hi-vis wheel lighting system (one kit per wheel) 2. Full race exhaust system (noise & unrestricted performance when it arrives) 3. Heads up braking system (auto day/night dimming; braking/decelerating light & hazard features) 4. Airhawk medium cruiser seat cushion (enough air to make it feel sloopy for big mileage) 5. Cramp buster & throttle rocker wrist rest devices (man-size grip puppies also) 6. Jamo D7PEX series 7.3 speakers (my final third 15" subwoofer for cinematic experiences)
Don't expect too much. It is a worthwhile improvement but a relatively subtle one as far as twist required goes. What made it a must have for me was the way it completely eliminated all slack on my bike, which makes for much more predictable control out of slow corners etc. piece of cake to fit.
I ve just taken slack up on my the throttle and yes much better but it's still a long twist from start to finish so does the R1 one make for a shorter twist
1 Ride it 2 Replace tires 3 Ride it 4 Replace tires and brake pads 5 Ride it shitloads more= Got nearly 50000 kms on my 2011 1198
But in the UK 300 days it rain so much the roads turn to rivers 60 days a year it snows So that leaves 5 days a year to ride like a Rutter Do Ducati make jet skis ?
