A survey was attempted, but only 8 of the 1,264 asked had received a delivery. Six of those were waiting for parts. The other two rode fully laden for a ride to a bike meet on a Sunday, so the results were gleaned from them
I’ve always found on previous versions that with top-box or Panniers loaded and ridden hard they cause weave over about 115. Strap a bag to the pillion seat and it’s fine. But I do think if touring they look fine with Panniers.
Mine went a bit wobbly at 160mph with a soft bag on the autobahn on the Thursday, but I was on a mission to get back to the UK as quickly (and safely) as possible.
What makes me laugh is the people on here who fit an illegal system then ignore the fact as they believe their insurer will cover them should they have a big accident. Very stupid and naive,and all for a bit of vanity and ‘look at me’.
Do you have a web link to where I can get them from? They look different to the ones I saw on the Conquest Carbon website
I bought the Ducabike Ducati Multistrada V4 Adjustable Brake + Clutch Levers GP2 2021+ - Silver Item No LEA16E-MTSV4 about £205 (inc VAT) Ducabike Ducati Multistrada V4 Adjustable Brake + Clutch Levers GP2 2021+ | Conquest Racing Ltd These are the cheapest version (!) and suit me just fine. I had Evotech levers on my Monster 821 and didn't really like them as the levers are not rounded on the finger edges and I found them uncomfortable on longer rides. The Ducabike ones have rounded edges and are way better IMO.
Does anyone know what the microswitch on the underneath of the front brake lever is for? I assumed it worked the brake light, but now I'm not sure.
There is 2 switches, they both tell the ecu about clutch position, 1 operates the cylinder cut off, the other gives information for the quick shifter to operate correctly, they may have other functions I guess..Adaptive cruise I would have thought would be one…
Under the Brake lever is a single switch that will trigger the brake light and will also cancel the cruise control - if engaged. The signal may also go to the ECU / IMU and make suspension changes and a order a small coffee
Had a great day out on the PP Sunday. Rode to the Elan valley to see how low the dams have gone. Stopped for a quick drink at Crossagates.
OK I'm confused, why do you think it isn't the brake light? I can't think of (or see) another circuit / switch that would be activated by use of the front brake lever and would then activate the brake light. BUT there maybe one - if using the ACS the bike will apply the brakes without the front lever or rear pedal being touched if the car ahead slows down, when that happens does the rear brake light come on?
That makes two of us! It’s definitely not the brake light. I fitted new levers over the weekend and removed the switch from the bars before fitting. Pressing the button didn’t operate the light and the lever, with the switch hanging loose, still operated the brake light. The new levers use a cam to operate the switch, so unlike the standard levers, they need adjustment. I was trying to gauge the point of contact and then realised I didn’t even know what it was for! Anyway, everything seems to be working and I think your original thought is probably right. It’s something to do with cruise control.
Interesting, had a play in the garage, It is definitely not the brake light switch, no idea where that is but it would seem to be on pressure switch in the braking system somewhere. Hill hold is definitely a pressure switch/valve and not the lever switch. Best guess is that the switch is there to de-activate the ACS when the front brake is used, just as using the rear brake de-activates the ACS.
