Ducati Riders

[30]

ok on for 12th june !

 

 

 

I guess.........The former only interested in 200% profit and cant be bothered with the hassle of paper works to please the customer. Looking at the unmotivated service department, i cant say the best for the workman ship anyway. While the latter aimed to please the customers, work with termi and LTA to ensure the stuffs are street legal at a decent profit.

 

There again. The durian trip is on this month. You free to join bor? Looking at 12th June, Sun

It was only a matter of time until a photo of the new 2012 Ducati Superbike “Superquadrata” appeared online, as we knew the bike was testing last week at Mugello, alongside Valentino Rossi’s further testing of the Ducati Desmosedici GP12. Set to debut at the 2011 EICMA show, the new Ducati Superbike is a marked departure from the current Ducati Superbike 1198.

Up until now, we did not know fully what the bike would look like, but this photo featured by MotoSprint sheds some light on the new Ducati, and confirms earlier reports we’d been given. Featuring an over-square v-twin motor (hence the name Superquadrata that’s been milling about), the 2012 Ducati Superbike says goodbye to the iconic trellis frame, and features a chassis that takes a page from Ducati’s MotoGP project.

Expected to use an aluminum stressed airbox/forward sub-frame (though we expect the higher-spec versions to use carbon fiber), the 2012 Ducati Superbike builds the chassis off the v-twin motor. We see confirmation of this by the spied Superquadrata’s extremely long swingarm, which attaches to the engine as well. This arrangement should give the new Superbike a lower weight (20 lbs saved we hear), and not to mention better handling, which the bike will need in order to tame the additional horsepower the over-square Superquadrata motor will make.

Testing the bike at Mugello was Italian Danilo Petrucci, who currently campaigns a Ducati 1098R in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup for the Barni Racing team. Also according to reports, Ernesto Marinelli, former factory Ducati Wold Superbike engineer and current crew chief for Carlos Checa, is overseeing the testing of the new Superbike, keeping a keen eye on how the bike will fare for the 2012 World Superbike season.

It’s interesting to note the horizontal position of the rear shock, and the noticeable GP-style exhaust on the rider’s right side. This partially confirms that the new Superquadrata Superbike would take its exhaust cues from the Ducati Desmosedici, with exhaust cans at the rider’s feet, as well as one integrated into the tail section.

We’ll have to wait for better pictures of the bike to confirm that aspect of what our sources have told us, but so far so good. More info as we get it, but doesn’t that bike look tiny?

if i change back stock exhaust, i also need to change back the ecu, filter?

 

If you installed the race system with a dedicated ECU, you should change the ECU back to stock for optimal running through the rev range.

My perspective of the Minerva racewerks matter. One sells ducati bikes, one sells exhausts (amongst others). Racewerks distributes termis for not just ducatis. They want to sell more pipes, makes sense to bring some homologated ones that termis also produces and get them approved. Minerva focus is on the bikes and they also cater for the demand for the sweeter sounding pipes. Before this, I don't think there was a demand for quieter pipes so they never bothered to bring the quieter ones in and get them approved.

 

Can someone tell me what suddenly happened? Was lta previously running with full timers and recently outsourced the enforcement to 3rd parties? Like tp outsourcing to the cameramen doing the bus lane photography or the parking aunties? All under a commission package? Shouldn't the focus be on safety issues as opposed to this, something that arguably harms no one?

 

Anyway, I do think biking is much more than the sound our bikes make. Biking is freedom and I guess what matters is the wind on our face, the pride of our machines and the great feeling of cornering and acceleration. So don't give up biking because you can't get the sound. It's a ducati. Enough said.

 

Anyway, I am out of the country. My bikes are at home, sad and lonely. Let me know when it is safe to return...

Hi fellow ducati riders,

 

just got my 848 today.. what can i say, its a beautiful machine with great performances.

 

anyway.. saw 2 lta on opposite road while travelling home so guess i'm lucky today, they cant manage to stop me.. but i really dont like the feeling of looking out for them while trying to enjoy my ride..

 

i came to a conclusion to sell off my termis.. so if any fellow 848 rider interested pls let me know..

 

In the mean time.. while looking out for lta, pls remember to ride safely.. cheers!!!

Hey guys, I solved the clutch issue. Had to use some force to knock out the pushrod cap from the OEM plate and knock it into the Rizoma one... Now only problem is I don't have a torque wrench so I tightened the spring bolts gently til it stops and release half a round - not sure if that's a good gauge... can anyone advice on that?

 

On the way uploaded some pics of the bike as well (especially the termis... changing to stock this week)

Hope to join u guys soon

What kinda torque values are you looking at? I have a torque wrench you could borrow. PM me if you need.

maxbg - well i dont wan to take the risk anymore.. if weekday (day or night ) they will haunt after us than wat abt weekend when all of us are out.

 

That's why I move about on my Sachs Madass 125. Got TP/ROV/LTA...no worries. Reserve my Duc for Blast in M'sia. Very sian to have to watch out for TP/LTA/ROV empowered officers.

 

I actually send my Termi powered Ducati for inspection 3 or more times but only managed to pass once. Other times it failed b'coz of no inscription on the pipes... but they passed every station in the emission test!!! That includes sound at 95 db.

 

So in short, the inspection centers do not have the capability and they depend on other certification bodies.

The tail looks exactly like an RSV4..... no more underseat pipe?

Heard the same old story about some dude making a big issue about being caught for illegal termis saying that he bought it from the authorised agent, had the inspection passed before and so why the fuss about enforcing the rule when almost every Duc out there are running with them. This caused the boys in white to go on a witch hunt. Every Duc out there is easy prey cus if the pipes are not stock and they are termis, they are definitely "illegal".

[Allusionz]

Hi guys any meetups on fri night? Is my off day tmr and hope to meet u guys.

[rockoil]

R models wld be nice....

 

Ops, wrong guess. It a 996 Biposto now in the bike mart.

Not too sure why the sudden all are selling the duc......

3 are still having stock pipe hence termis is not the issue here for sure.
