2016 Ducati 1299 Panigale: Exploring and Customising 1299 Riding Modes

The Ducati 1299 Panigale comes with three customisable rider modes. Here I show you a quick change you can make to two of them that will instantly make the bike ride better. Read more at thatsbelter.co...

Great video dude! I picked up my new 1299 yesterday and this video helped me out heaps. Thanks!

[@michaelkeith9141]

Found your channel and loving it. Great work and keep the vids coming.

[@ianmcaleer1]

Yeah me also bought the bike second hand and it was on progressive didnt like it on fast road rides , got it changed back so much better now 👍🏿

Hey man! Love the atmosphere and style of your videos. Good work! Are you from England or the USA ? Greetings from Germany

[@BelterBikes]

Hey Oliver I'm from Northern Ireland but living in England.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Thanks bro i now know how to set my shit up lol

Really like the channel mate. Just a little feedback if it's ok? If someone wants to learn about the riding modes on a Pani, there are a million videos already on here - there is also alot of videos of people standing behind a top of the line bike and talking about it - not brilliant content. Ride the nuts of it so people can see it in action, maybe get a mic for inside the helmet and talk and ride? I've subbed also ;) just my 2 pence mate.

[@BelterBikes]

Cheers man. Always glad to hear feedback and completely understand. I've got cameras/mics etc for onboards. Most of these were filmed whilst icy/snowy outside so onboards wouldn't have been great watching. More onboard stuff will be in the videos coming up. Practical ones like this I'm trying to keep as short as I can and just show method I use.

[@dmartin23]

+Belter I love my 899...watching your vids at the moment to see if it's worth upgrading. I have installed a blipbox on mine which is epic!

[@Grahamvfr]

Nice Clear video thank you. I was giving to understand wet mode was only 110 bhp? UK bike.

[@ANDYSTUNEtwo]

Great guide thank you 👍

[@bencubelo9325]

Thanks a bunch , very helpful!

[@adambrzezinski8009]

Great Video!

[@ianmcaleer1]

Look forward to yer video :)

[@okenshield]

What recording device/setup do you use for your videos? Thanks

[@GMANS_BIKES_CARS]

Hey buddy. Love your bike, have now set my 959 up like your bike, seems to be the perfect mix! Am I right in saying in medium and high engine mode that the power is the same, and it just lowers the power in low mode? Cheers, G-MAN

[@BelterBikes]

G-MAN'S BIKES & BITS power is the same it just changes the throttle response in high and medium. If you're on a 959 I would put Wet mode to medium and Sport and Race to high.

[@ianmcaleer1]

Just tried race for the first time today and must say the throttle and the bike feel a hundred times better even when in the city . Must change these settings in wet and sport now also but tbh i will prop stick to race all the time now .Have you made any changes to your heatshield ? Or other custom parts yet ?

[@BelterBikes]

+ian mcaleer I haven't made any changes to the heatshield. To be honest the heat has been welcome on the morning commute over Winter. I'll be looking at a few bits here and there in the near future but other than the Akros there isn't a lot I wanted to do to the bike.

[@ianmcaleer1]

+Belter the heat is great in the winter true lol i only changed it because of the pladtic bit being very ugly the heat didnt really bother me in leathers or textiles

[@ianmcaleer1]

Try the sports settings today good shout ma man 👌 do you plan to find out some more settings for fast road riding home and in spain ? Out of curiousity what tyre pressures do you run !?

[@BelterBikes]

+ian mcaleer I run 33F and 30R which is from the manual. Will go to 30F 28R on trackdays to see how they fare.

[@ianmcaleer1]

+Belter my manual says 25 bar front and back ? You on supercorsas ?

[@BelterBikes]

+ian mcaleer I hadn't checked the manual but good to know thanks Ian.

[@ianmcaleer1]

Do you have your suspension running progressive or flat ?

[@BelterBikes]

Flat I'm quite happy with the settings I've found. Got a video coming soon about that!

[@geovaniolivas7373]

would these settings work with an 1199?

[@BelterBikes]

+Geovani Olivas I believe you can adjust the engine settings in the 1199 rider modes so in theory yes. Hard to say if the effect would be the same in real world use but wouldn't be too far removed.

[@geovaniolivas7373]

+Belter I think I'm going to give it a try. Amazing channel.
