V4 V4r

Haha

Yep. Got the fastest sector from Coppice to the pits on foot pushing a bike though

 

And that's a fair hike

 

2019 and a bike with no fuel light...!

 

We're not sure yet. Still trying to work it out

 

Page 24 of the V4r owners manual from ducatis website, says it does have a low fuel warning light, item 5. Comes on when there is 4.5 ltrs left

 

Meaning mine is broken? Or it’s mode dependent?

 

Instrument panel

I promise you I’m not being thick. I am thick, but this isn’t because of that.

As I say, the light comes on when I start the dash up and then goes which means it’s working/ enabled/ exists, but no light came on when I was riding and I nearly ran out of fuel.

 

They removed it on the R to save weight.......

 

Not saying you are, manual clearly shows it should be there so test it in case it’s not

 

Tell you what. My light works, I am willing to let you have my V4s in return for your V4r, but ONLY igf you fill it up with fuel first. Deal?

 

You’re too good to me. Thank you mate.

 

welcome

 

This the same manual that’s says to do the first 600 miles running in keeping it under 6k rpm

 

It would seem my V4R has turned up early, a whole month,

 

Update on my bike.
New fuel cap fitted to the bike as the dealer found out part of the fuel cap insert had a spilt in it.
Tested with a full tank and some hard stops and i'm still getting fuel dripping under the bike ('looks' like out of the overflow pipe). But definitely not as much as before.
I did some further tests after doing about 30 fairly brisk miles and still got a few drips after a hard stop!
Not sure what the answer is to this?
I'm going to get the Rizoma DP fuel cap to see if this is any better?

The other issue I had with the small oil leak out of the clutch casing has been sorted with new clutch casing and improved seal.

Bike update, when pressing on I get 26mpg average, fuel trip comes on at 55 miles (no light!).
Apart from this the bike is fookin immense! Wings are definitely a thing! Feels super planted under full throttle acceleration as it feels like it revs forever (and at speed like I have got a permanent dab of back brake!) It still wheelies if you provoke it!

 

Don't think the Rizoma DP cap will resolve anything but it'll certainly look cooler. Here's mine....

 

Rizoma cap looks spot on!
Not sure what the answer is?! Petrol obviously sloshes about in a petrol tank so the seal in the inner neck should stop fuel coming up past it! Never had this with the v4s!

 

The two 10mm hoses that run down the clutch side of the tank, I think one is a vent and the other an overflow. Strip out your cap assembly and have a butchers. There's a rubber gasket at the bottom. Just check its not out of position over the vent and drain orifice. There's also an o-ring encompassing the cap. There's not much else to it.

 

Better bike, see
