1199 Carbon Fibre

From personal experience, Fullsix is very good quality. Andy

 

The one I got from Conquest seems to be holding fine up on mine (yes it is gloss), never heard of the hugger blistering before only the heat shields.

 

Havne't bought a shield yet due to known issues of blistering so holding off until someone has come up with a solution. Looked at the exhaust wrap and the ceramic coating but not made a decision as yet but not too keen on the look of the wrap.

 

Let us know how you get on with it. Carbon King have got theirs on sale on ebay just now for £90

Edit oops that is for the hugger

 

Steve at Conquest had a carbon heat shield fitted to his Panigale, I'm sure if you ask he would tell you what condition it is/was and how many miles it has done.

 

The Conquest one bubbled too.

 

Weigh the sheild in for scrap , use exhaust wrap if needed

 

Firstly, the carbon (Matt) shield and hugger on mine that I got the supplying (Ducati) agent to fit when I ordered the bike, has survived with only the need to replace the side bolt on the exhaust shield (got loose and fell off) . The usual cause of excessive exhaust temperatures is a too lean mixture, or put another way, not quite enough petrol mixed with the air. With the engine management computer looking after this, the only likely event it will run lean and hot is if it is run gently for periods of time. No 'accel' fuelling, which riches up the mixture, plus lower operating speeds can raise the 1199's operating temperature enormously. I would hazard a guess you are not a nutter rider and are keeping to the speed limit etc, no insult intended. A possible solution is to fit some Termis' and get the 'Up Map' installed. Loads of performance benefits plus it runs a tad richer to keep from cooking your trim-work. Mind you, you'll still cook your inner thighs !

 

I have DP heat shield it came with my termi full system, done 3,000 miles since fitted and looks fine still, mine is matte carbon though.
My side bolt keeps falling out though, this is the 2nd one I have lost
I have full system, had the std upmap that comes with termis, but took it to Moto Rapido few weeks back and had full dyno custom map on it and I am well chuffed with the results.
I get heat up the inside of my left thigh but easily bearable and thats whilst riding in ambient temp of 23 degrees, the amount of people I have heard moan about the heat off the exhaust and how it is so hot it burns their legs, I dunno what they are chatting about.

 

Is there a way of finding out what map your running without going to a dealer?

 

Standard cans and exhaust standard map
Termi end cans has a bespoke map but still has to meet ECU rules

Full system has slightly better map but still meets ECU rules.

There was a thread on here and some one listed what the dash days when you first turn ignition on depending on what up map is loaded.
@chrisw is the man

 

At ignition on you should see this if DP map installed

 

Thank you for joining in Chris your assistance and knowledge is much appreciated. Mine with full system says Evo race or is it race Evo can't bloody remember

 

Well , i hope it says RACE ;-)
