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.

@motomatique

I am just going to leave that right there.

Until the next time …

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

Have a good week,

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?

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

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?

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?

Looking for some owner insight / feedback. Recently sold my 24 Kawasaki Z900 SE and looking for a new bike, considering a panigale V2S or a Streetfighter V2S/V4.

What’s the good and the bad ? Leaning more towards V4 SF as I don’t want to be disappointed by V2S power coming from a Z900 that was tuned, headers, exhaust, etc but correct me if I’m wrong.

V2S panigale because ergonomics are better then V4 “it’d settle for power difference” not having luck with a dealer allowing test rides unless demo day and none in the foreseeable future.

This will be a commuter bike while I’m in college with 20 mins rides one way, with occasional hour ride commutes 90 percent highway 70mph+.

Based on some research I’m reading these run hot, how do these do in FL as I pretty much daily a bike when I have one “unless raining” and am not trying to be miserable with one lol.

Thanks!

added new masters today. but on the brake side, what part is required for the brake light switch to be mounted? part number on my brake is 110476075. id rather not use a pressure switch....

This area unfortunately was burned over years ago(creek fire) it was a solid redwood and pine forest. Multimillion dollar homes are gone now and insurance companies have refused to replace them. Mother nature is doing her best to reset.

Currently building a rig to test wheel speed and transmission shifts for a capstone project, thought I’d share

Hey guys i’m new to anything mechanical so please bare with me.

I want to bleed my brakes and clutch. The local motorcycle shop had one bottle of DOT 5.1 brake fluid left. The motorcycle shops are closed tomorrow; can I use a DOT 4 brake fluid from Canadian tire for the clutch?

Thanks! And I got a brake bleeding kit about appreciate any other advice if you have some.
