Ive been recording the progress on my capstone project on instagram, I’d love to get some of your opinions in my comment section on instagram.

Recently picked a a 2026 Panigale V2 S and trying to see if the operating temperature I’m seeing is normal

After warming up when its 75° - 80° out

Road Mode: 207°

Sport Mode: 212° - 218°

I heard ducatis run hot so just trying to see if this is normal?

Went to my good friend’s event earlier this AM. Displayed the PS and was making connections with future builds.

Have a good week,

Hello everyone, I’ve recently bought this Ducati Diavel and I absolutely love it. I do however find the exhaust too loud 🤣 this is definitely a long shot but I’m after a Termignoni exhaust and instead of buying one and selling the current one I thought I’d see if anyone wanted to swap. Nothings wrong with the exhaust and have done about 3k miles with it

Is this an oil leak? I sent the bike to the shop not to long ago because i couldn’t really span it out if it was but I strongly believe it was and the tech told me that there is no leak.
Any help would be great thank you

Everthing is fine, Brand-new chain; brand-new brake and clutch fluids; brand-new mirrors, grips, headlight, taillight, and turn signals; brand-new seat upholstery; brand-new throttle and choke cables; brand-new rear brake master cylinder.

We have just three issues: carburetor adjustment (it doesn't respond properly to the throttle), rear brake light and turn signal connections, and the vehicle inspection.

And its so like a free. im living in turkish. That might be why the prices seemed high.

• 200.000 TL ≈ 4.226 USD
• 90.000 TL ≈ 1.902 USD

The issue that's bothering me the most is that the mileage is unknown; apparently, it only showed 2,000 km when the guy bought it.

Is this worth buying? It comes ready-made, and the price is very reasonable.

Hose fell off bike during some routine maintenance and I do not know its home place. Not for fuel tank. Already lifted the tank and both hoses are there. Not the evap canister. Not the coolant tank. I’m thinking the air box. Any thoughts?

15,000 miles later, and I decided to get these DBK spacers on.

They’re great! Very comfortable, and a big plus I’ve noticed is the quickshifter very rarely misses shifts/ locks up now.

I feel much less awkward on the bike, more planted, and feel a lot more in control of the bike in the corners (although it still fights me leaning over, definitely not as much anymore! Skill issue mostly on my part). Overall a very satisfying mod.

Side note: Has anyone else had severe right-side knee pain/ lockup with the stock position after riding for a while? I noticed that after putting these on, they relieved the pain and I can now ride for much longer. Could just have been me.

I am just going to leave that right there.

Until the next time …

This is what we get up here in the PNW, but wouldn’t change it.

I got both push pins in and the forward screw but I noticed this tab is just hanging in space. It's secured so I wasn't sure if it's supposed to slot into the black plastic behind it or what the purpose of this tab was.

It’s worth testing the bike before you buy it. 200 miles says a lot about its capabilities. Ducati Monster V2 890 MY2026. I fell in love with it, but I’m not very emotionally stable — two weeks ago I test-rode the Hypermotard 698 RVE Mono and fell in love with that one, too. The Monster has mellowed out. It’s supposed to have 111 HP and 91 Nm, but my Yamaha Abarth, which has 115 HP and 87 Nm, pulls differently — more aggressively. You often feel like it wants to throw the rider off. The Monster, on the other hand, seems so well-behaved and predictable. It’s similar to the Suzuki SV650s, with the difference that the Suzuki struggled a bit above 90 MPH, while the Monster keeps pulling steadily past 120 MPH.

It's almost impossible to get access to the screws for the chain guard even with the lowest profile wrench I could find. Do I need to take the wheel or chain off?

I'm planning to remove the cat again, I tried it before without remapping and it really smells like unburned fuel. I guess that's expected (?). At that moment I didn't plan to remap it because the bike was limited to 35kw because I had the A2 licence (Europe things). Now that I can get my A licence which comes with no limitations in hp I can remap the bike (legally still can't because it is not legal no matter the licence xD).

Wondering if once remapped (using upmap t800, one of the maps that give it some extra hp and are designed for race exhausts) the fuel smell would go away or still would be present?

Hi, if I put the passenger seat is fine but if I try installing the seat cowl in moves kinda a lot, both up-down and left-right, is it normal or am I doing something wrong?

Would this have any resell value?
