Yeah I believe they're just stuck on with adhesive. Taking them off doesn't get you anywhere though unless you just want to replace them with carbon fiber or something.
You sound like me, except I'd replace the "do wheelies" with "drag knees." I also always speak my mind. I'm not going to tip toe around how I feel just because I'm worried about offending someone. I like you already :sport12:
I agree with jared. I miss my FZ1 and I think it was an excellent bike, but only after a long list of mods. Stock is nothing to be particularly impressed about, especially without Ivan's flash. Aside from Ohlins suspension, my Tuono is stock, and my old fully modded FZ1 was still just a notch...
After riding with tank grips, they are the very first thing I put on a new bike. Once you've used them, you'll never want to ride without them. I use the TechSpec ones. I had some issues with the adhesive separating from the grip itself. I sent them some pictures and they sent me a new set no...
Yes I agree. The track is no doubt the best place to hone your skills. However, not everyone can just go to the track whenever. You can also definitely improve your skills on the street without pushing your limits.
Just as you said, it's all about finding a good road with great corners. I have my goto road that really nothing can compare to. Many solo trips up there, then following some of the fast guys once I got better is how I got to the level of riding I'm at now. It literally makes no difference what...
Unfortunately with California's ridiculous laws I don't think my dealer can do that stuff anymore. Either way though, I'd just send my ecu to AF1 and do the throttle learning myself with guzzidiag. Good to hear that it'll fix the throttle problem though.
Oh man I love this bike too. My only complaint is the throttle response at low speed and low openings. It's very jerky and I end up having to use my clutch at lower speeds. Do you have that problem with the race flash? And just one other thing I don't like is the really slippery seat! How much...
Hmm yeah I guess it's nicer. But I do love our projector headlights. Nice that the new one already has the RSV4 tail. Do you have any performance mods on yours? Mine's stock engine-wise, but I have Ohlins cartridges and a TTX. I'll do the race ECU and pipe later. Do you know if it makes as big...
The full list of mods, and most importantly, Ivan's flash will make you love this bike. My current Tuono V4 is an incredible bike, but I still miss my FZ1 and wish I could ride it. Now that says something.
Well, normally I will pull in to my garage and ride straight into my Baxely chock (best thing ever!) and prop the rear up with a paddock stand. There was an earthquake here a couple months ago and I didn't even worry about my bike. For maintenance like tire changes I just wheel it off the Baxley...
Haha well I think the choice is very obvious if he knows what kind of riding he's going to do. And as far as Ducati reliability goes, my dad and a lot of his buddies are Ducati guys. Aside from the frequent service intervals (less frequent on the newer ones), they don't seem to really have a lot...
