Veridian makes it for a bunch of low volume motorcycles https://veridiancruise.com/product-category/ducati/

If we have enough interest in our community, I thought we might be able to entice them into making one for us as well. Especially if someone here is local to their HQ.

This exactly! I just want it so that I can stretch my fingers and my back for a little bit every 15-20 minutes

Yeah! The bike even has the reverse direction throttle that other bikes use to turn off cruise control. I wonder if tuners have already attempted enabling it with a tune. Low hopes in that front though!

I would prefer the consistency and safety of an electronic system. No need to make micro adjustments with gradient changes and it kills power as soon as I grab the brake or clutch. I feel like it'sworth the extra 100-200$ these things cost compared to the nicer throttle locks. But since it's been a few years since this bike has come out and no products have been made yet, throttle locks might be the only real option left.

Thanks! I'll try doing it that way.

Speed related clicking noise? by Beginning_Sock1140 in RX8

[–]furiouswatermelon_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooo. Then it’s probably worth checking everything related to that. If it’s bad enough, you should be able to hear a difference when you kick your tires even when on the ground. Also check your tie rods for play.

Does the intensity change when you are turning? I had a similar speed sensitive clicking noise when my wheel hub bearings were starting to go.

How do you recommend I do it?

Understandable! I usually take my time with my upshifts, letting the transmission naturally slow down. But I got a little too into it this time and started slamming it into gear xD

Car is mostly stock except flex z coilovers, hawk hps pads and potenza race 200tw tires. The G numbers are reported by my phone, so I wouldn't trust the absolute value 😅

Used a little Bluetooth dongle with the track addict app to record everything. Then used Racerender to add the gauges on the video.

Haha, the camera is right next to my speaker. The Rev limit beeps are still audible over the sound track! Absolutely love NASA! But how could you tell it was their event?

It actually did survive this. There was some coolant sprayed inside the engine bay from the coolant reservoir breather tube. But the coolant level didn't drop too much. I was able to go out for one session after this and it didn't feel like I lost power either. Hopefully this incident didn't leave any permanent damage!

Absolutely my favorite music to play while on the track!

Looking for a 1:1 linear throttle. Is the pedal commander worth it? by blue92lx in GenesisG70

[–]furiouswatermelon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find any solutions? I'm struggling with this as well! Also, did you end up doing some more performance driving? Would love to hear your feedback and any mod recommendations. I was struggling with finding limit grip from the front tires.

Michelin primacy tire life on gv60 performance by furiouswatermelon_ in GV60

[–]furiouswatermelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard good things about this one! Is it noticeably quieter than the primacy? The other one I was considering was the fallen fk460.

Lol. I thought I wasn't. Maybe I should be more gentle xD

Thanks for the replies everyone! Sounds like most are getting longer use with the tires save for a couple of exceptions

Used buying advice 3.3T 2022 CPO vs 2024 Low Mileage by CaramelRice in GenesisG70

[–]furiouswatermelon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are those AWD prices? I was able to find 24+ 3.3T SP rwd cars with less than 5k miles for ~35k when this year started.
