V4s & Duc Newbie

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by 3xposse, Apr 22, 2018.

  1. hi guys

    Picked up my V4S this weekend, my first sportsbike and my first ducati. Rode for approx 250km and have 2 questions:

    1) riding in 3rd gear, around approx 3200 revs very often the deep exhaust sound disappears for a few seconds. Immediately picks up again when I shift gear or accelerate and only happens in 3rd gear

    2) sometimes (not at low revs) engine felt like stuttering and also at certain rev levels felt quite a bit of vibrations.

    All of this might be completely normal or related to the drive-in period but wanted to check whether any of you had similar experiences?

    Thank you
     
  2. Thread moved and welcome Dave
     
  3. Point 1 due to exhaust valve opening and closing, Ducati’s way of getting bike past noise test etc
