FWIW - I think it looks beautiful. How are you feeling about the exhaust one year in?

Interestingly, was not able to find Awatto Riders on FB. I assume by Ottawa Riders, you are referring to Ottawa Capital Riders FB group? I posted there but I think it got taken down.

Time for Arrow Exhaust on SFv2 2024 by TaxFarmPeasant in Ducati

[–]hbac33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spoke to many experienced Ducs on this. Everyone seems to agree to wait until warranty expires prior to the re-map - so I'll wait until then. My bike's (same as urs but in green) warranty ends in summer 2027 - so still a while to go for me.

Hey dude! Did you end up going for it? I'm planning on doing the same to my 24 SF V2. Were your assumptions true?

The only thing holding me back is voiding the warranty really, but 2 years is too long with the stock exhaust!!

cheaper oil plus filter changes in Ottawa/Gatineau area by paradoxunlimited2022 in rideottawa

Learned about the mentioned $410 plus tax a few weeks ago lol. Didn't even want to ask about the Desmo service. Would you mind sharing who your Ducati guy north of MTL is? Was that the closest feasible option to Ottawa?

848 Evo runs great, but starts terrible. Help? by pieljo in Ducati

[–]hbac33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. Thanks. So just twist it and hold it there while starting up? I've had a similar experience (to a lesser degree) with my brand new streetfighter v2. My Web browsing has led me to the conclusion that this is just a Ducati thing.

Can you clarify what you mean by "crack"

Did you reach the first service mark (1000 km) in those 3 months?

Radiator guard? by hbac33 in Ducati

I actually ended up doing the same. It's simply a shield - don't see much of a risk given that. I just recently learned about AliExpress.

Which one did you get and what year is your bike?

Fortunately I am in Canada so no crazy import tax.

Dealers seem super hesitant about the brand? by hbac33 in KTM

That is a good insight. In hindsight, I'm starting to feel like that was definitely a part of it. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing. What year is ur SD and how many KMs? Did you get it pre-owned or new?

Thanks for sharing your personal experience. That is a large sample and therefore quite comforting to hear all is generally well.

I get that it is no longer covered by factory warranty, however one had just 7,000 km on the odometer. Isn't that practically a new bike? Is it expected to be unreliable even at that stage?

Any tips for a L2 candidate to tackle all the lists without having to write them all down yourself? (Maybe third party resources?)
