I think I need more pictures please
I see a tap in one of those pics, what did you fuck up?
I think it's a great bike when everything is in order. It's hard making a 1 hour drive to get warranty work done which seems to happen a lot. I love riding it when it let's me. The experience has led me to be sure I need two street bikes at all time. Looking back, I would have gotten the HP4, but this bike does put a huge shit eating grin on my face. Would not recommend it to a beginner or someone who just wants something that works. It's nice being a part of the Ducati club, but the th the cover charge is high.
I'll do proper pictures later.
Tap was for exhaust header then oil pan. It's funny how it always breaks but doesn't seem designed to be taken apart.
Are you running the 200/55? Why not put on a 190/55?

Traction Control Tire Profile Map
So the traction control would not work as well with a 190 in other words.
I read something similar in a multiple bike comparo about that...how Ducati was against putting a different brand tire/size.
Do you think it would vary that significantly if you put a 190 on?

All that aside, I like the 200 profile more anyway so why not? It's nice to see a big fat tire on there lol. And don't worry, this will likely be my only Italian bike lol.
I'm excited my roommate just bought a 2013 848 Corse SE. More too come, I have very good powers of suggestions lol.

Funny you ask, but no.
Update:
Replaced the PT levers with Magnesium Lightech's. They feel so much better. Also have a CF key cover now, with the CF termi lower infil panels coming in next week from the UK.
UPDATE (back from the dead)
Just got my airduct covers and swingarm protector. Lots of other bits if you look carefully. Waiting on Lightech Gemini integrated CF mirrors and rear turn signals to get street legal again.
