I don't know if anyone has ever done this, but I bought a new Panigale V2 in November and for the first time ever I had it delivered. It arrived late on a cold wet Saturday, and because it was delivered it was obviously immaculate, 3 miles on the clock. Here we are nearly March and it's sitting in the same place with 3 miles on it, I've not even started it I guess it runs. I now think I should have just waited until now picked it up and had the proper delivery day experience, much better idea!
Had my Multi Rally delivered in Mid Dec 23, had the 600 mile service done early Jan 24 (900 miles) Just ride it, dirt washes off
Had my Panigale V2 delivered on 3rd January 2020. First time I went out on it was 20th March as it had rained continuously since it'd been delivered and that evening BloJob said the country was in lockdown because of covid. So I didn't get to ride it again until 31st May 2020 when restrictions were lifted the first time
Yep, I should just ride it, but here we are Saturday and it's pouring down again. Something I have discovered while idling the time away, I've done a few things like tail tidy, removed pillion pegs etc. These bikes must go down a production line with someone either side as without fail the bolts on the right side are about what I'd expect the bolts on the left side all have loads of locktite applied and are very very tight.
Ah you had a bad tech who didn't put on the locktite. Best check everything on the right to make certain he/she didn't do anything else wrong? I ride my bikes when I want to. I rarely want to ride them in the rain, ice and freezing cold. I've never then regretted not getting wet & cold!
The other thing is that the warranty is ticking away and it's not being used . If/when you start using it there maybe a problem and you might be out of warranty
I bought a brand new v2 Bayliss which I took delivery of in Nov 2022. I got lucky with the weather and by 30 Nov had put over 800 miles on it. Sold it in October last year. It was still immaculate. Bikes are meant to be ridden.
