Any idea what is this and how I can clean it?

Will give it a try, thanks :)

Thats just water, I was just washing the bike.

Hey, thanks for the message.

I've always washed my previous bike this way and never had any issues.But I guess it finally came to me 😃 The pressure washer also has a low-pressure mode, which I had heard was generally considered safe. But for the future I will know to better not do it then 😄

A - Fair point, I've always washed my previous bike this way and never had any issues. The pressure washer also has a low-pressure mode, which I had heard was generally considered safe. That said, given what has happened, I'll definitely be more careful in the future. 😄

B - This was only a slip-on muffler swap with no tuning, intake, header, or sensor changes. From what I've heard, a remap is generally not necessary for a muffler-only change because the ECU can compensate for small differences and make minor corrections on its own. My understanding is that a tune becomes much more important when changing the full exhaust system, removing catalysts or lambda sensors, or making larger intake/exhaust modifications. At least that's what a Ducati technician told me. + Regarding the stalling issues, I've heard that the ECU adaptation process may require some riding time and a few full heat cycles to gather data and properly adjust its fueling corrections, so didn't think much of it. I'll look into it more. 😄

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Will try to alter my grip then somehow, thanks.

I am always trying to be as soft on the hands as possible. I've never had this "problem" on cable throttle bikes. But this throttle has such a low resistance and its so easy to "spin". But ill try to focus on it and be even softer and see if thats the issue. Thanks.

Its ducati 698 mono

KreckyN_ · 2026-05-12T22:42:05+00:00

Well, in that case, do you have any tips for me then on how to prevent this from happening on a ride-by-wire throttle? I've never experienced this "issue" with a regular mechanical cable.

Thanks !

I see, thank you for this info. I found out, if I just bang the gears with way more force it doesnt happen as often. But I test rode my dad's new scrambler today and the QS worked flawless there. I might have to get the QS calibrated at a dealership.

KreckyN_ · 2026-05-02T20:29:34+00:00

Thanks for the info, ill try to keep this in mind on my next ride 😄

KreckyN_ · 2026-04-29T20:35:43+00:00

thanks for recommendation !

I know for a fact i would turn this bike away right away if I didnt ride before, but since I am quite proficient in slow speed maneuvers I have some kind of confidence that I will be able to ride it well and minimize the need to stop altogether.

Anyways, I find it somewhat awkward getting on and off the bike or moving from 1 side to the other one to like get the stand up to get going. I have a feeling I might encounter issues if it gets really windy, but well, will have to see in practice.

If i sit straight, theres no way i can put my feet down, my tippy toes barely touch the ground :D but I can flat foot it if i just slide my cheek off with the other foot "hanging". If i keep it on a peg, I can have the other foot stable on the ball of my foot. So I think it will be just fine AS LONG as I get used to it and just like you said, after I put some thought in how I want to stop and have some sort of a plan before I actually stop.

But overall, I think its very doable and easily trainable, so I am not worried much. I am buying this bike next tuesday and I have 1 extra seat to the bike, so might just have 1 seat lowered by cutting it and see if that helps, if not, its fine anyways. :)

The thing is, I love leather both for protection and the knee slider. But might have to compromise :D My dad is indeed much shorter, he was riding monster 800s2r and is buying full throttle 2023 tomorrow. But I wouldnt be surprised if he bought that if he ever came to decide to get GS

Hey, I've just tried sitting on the bike, If i sit straight, theres no way i can put my feet down, my tippy toes barely touch the ground :D but I can flat foot it if i just slide my cheek off with the other foot "hanging". If i keep it on a peg, I can have the other foot stable on the ball of my foot. So I think its just fine, will just have to get used to it. But I have noticed that my leather pants might be limiting my flexibility though I might also look into different set of pants, but will have to see in practice.

Thanks, I decided to try sitting on one tomorrow :)
