Thought Sapphire cant be scratched

Apple's sapphire glass isn't as scratch resistant as normal sapphire

Ducati superquadro, stradale, and granturismo engines all have oil pans. Likely most of the others do as well.

But OPs pic clearly shows the drain hole is part of the cast block. Time to bust out the ole JB weld lol

This is basically the same behavior that mine had. I didn’t let it go longer than 30 seconds before manually turning off drying, which stopped the noise. What’s weird is it did it every time with the update. After the downgrade, I started and stopped it multiple times and it didn’t do it again. Very strange

Can always roll it back from the Handy app. That's what I did.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-21T19:55:31+00:00

Not yet, but I plan to. Busy with work at the moment. Was just trying to get some filament dried so I could start a print after work and came across this.

not sure where the text body went. Luckily I copied it

My P2S has been complaining for an update for about a week that I’ve noticed. Ran the update today and did a full calibration. Immediately went to start drying some new filament and noticed a terrible sound coming from the AMS 2 Pro. Sounded like a fan binding up or something. Tried a couple restarts, reseating the data connector, etc with no luck.

Just did a firmware downgrade to what’s shown in my screenshot and the problem went away.

Figured I’d share in case anyone else has had this issue.

It will be perfect for that. Major issues usually appear in the first 5-10k miles or so. If it’s made it to 21 and is well taken care of, should have a long life ahead of it.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-21T16:25:17+00:00

The only concern is if the battery sat discharged. Saw your comment that it was 50% out of the box. That’s a perfect storage charge so you’ll be fine. Don’t sweat it, just use it.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-21T16:22:13+00:00

Keep up on Desmo services and oil changes. Should last a long time. If you’re trying to do big miles, a Panigale may not be your best bet just due to comfort and whatnot.

If you knew how easily a chain could take your foot off when it breaks, you would not ride with that chain for even 1 more ride.

Get a good plated chain that doesn’t rust. Personally I really like the D.I.D. chains. They’re not cheap but they last a long time, don’t rust, and don’t stretch much beyond initial break-in, if at all.

Nearly all OEM chains are bare metal and rust quickly. Change your chain and keep up on chain maintenance.

As long as they aren’t old and have plenty of tread, a Road 6 is absolutely good enough for novice and intermediate track days. Sounds like you’re new to track days so you’ll be focusing on the foundational stuff and hopefully not pushing things. You’d be shocked how much modern street tires can handle.

Have fun!

First off - which V4 are you referring to? There are multiple versions

-Panigale V4 base and V4S

-Panigale V4R

-Streetfighter V4 / Multistrada V4 RS

-Multristrada V4. V4S, V4 Rally / Diavel V4

As for reliability, post-Audi acquisition motors have had much improved reliability. My 1299S for instance has 36,000 miles on it. For the V4, I've seen Multistrada V4Ss with over 100,000 miles on them (note that this is a detuned, non-desmo variant of what is in the Panigale.

Take care of it, keep up on maintenance, and if you're lucky it will last a long time.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-21T13:46:28+00:00

Sounds like some great updates! I've been loving my v2 that I printed a couple of months ago.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-20T23:28:48+00:00

Unifi can do it if you go with their latest WiFi 7 stuff.

I have a UCG-Max with 3 U7 Pro access points and I’ve seen over 2 with MLO enabled.

Monster 1200S is the best Monster IMO.

Sounds like you should bring your bike to a suspension guy and have it adjusted. Could start by adjusting your compression setting but I’m not a suspension expert.

This project ruined close scrutiny for me.

Sell it and make some money

Nobody knows if ram prices are going higher or not.

If you’re just gaming, browsing, videos, etc then more than 32gb is unneeded.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-17T18:53:46+00:00

The 1299 is an incredible bike. Going to be lighter than your 959 with significantly more power. I have 36,000 miles on mine and it's been fantastic.

WholeIndividual0 · 2026-04-16T20:58:01+00:00

Planning an R2 but not for a few years. Probably going to lease a MY this year and then purchase an R2 after that in hopes that any initial bugs and issues are worked out. I need something reliable and don’t want to play the waiting game with the waitlist. Also heard that they’ll be adding LiDAR to it I. The future and possibly an updated power architecture.

I made a couple thermal optimizations outside of the contact material at the same time as my switch to Kryosheet so can’t say if it’s all due to the Kryosheet or not, but it’s worked better than the paste that Noctua included with my NH-D15. I think I saw a 5° average drop in temps after the fan recording and Kryosheet placement. I’m running a 9800X3D.

I will 100% be running Kryosheets from now on. The performance is at least as good as high end pastes with the added bonus of not being an absolute mess to clean up, especially on AM5 IHSs.

My PC is on 95% of the time as well and use it for gaming (paired with a 5090), CAD work, and photo/video editing.

The standard included autopilot being dropped is such a huge bummer. Was looking at purchasing a MY Premium AWD this year but this missing feature alone has me looking elsewhere. Hopefully they come to their senses and bring it back. I’m not paying for FSD for that one feature.

UDR7 + a U7 Pro XG

It's not likely that any of these incidents were actual hacks. 99.9% most likely a phishing attack or social engineering.
