2023 Ducati Diavel V4 Gets Massive Gains! BT Moto Flash Review

[@aintnodisco7127]

My take away is that, based on the the chart @ 20:22 and the edited clarification that the green line is the Akra. exhaust, the BT flash provides some performance improvements plus some livability tweaks, e.g., disabling the rear cylinder deactivation. But, compared to "bone stock", the after market 'Akra' exhaust provides nothing but a change in sound signature. The stock bike has more power than I'll ever need. The BT flash sounds like it smooths over the rough edges, but forget ever laying out that kind of cash (est $6,000 installed) for an exhaust system that does not provide meaningful gains in performance. Compared to that, the BT ECU flash is a bargain and then some.

Nice to see the Akra map. I bought a 2024 and left it there over the winter to have the exhaust/tune put in. Also was nice to see the round mirrors, as I was debating if I wanted those vs a different shape.

[@damiengvideos4337]

Oh no I want max performance! When is the stage 2 coming!? :). I have the Arka and BST carbon wheels being installed. More power is always welcome!!!

[@gilortiz9809]

oh my what a great video!!!! i need one of these....ducati should hire you for sure!!! thank you for making this alot of useful information

[@TheAgalmic]

I'll stick with my Akro map. I haven't noticed any jerkiness in the transition from two to four cylinders and I love the thump of the two. The slight difference in power I'll never use or notice and I also like the fact that I'll never have to worry about changing the mapping for the dealer. I'm unsure about those round mirrors on a modern, angular bike.

[@RadDadisRad]

I know you compare this to a Rocket3 but this bike seems to be similar in specs as a Speed Triple 1200 RS. Where the power is, the rpm range, the size, the weight, the acceleration. Just all seems so similar.

[@TheAgalmic]

LOL

[@RadDadisRad]

@@TheAgalmic I agree, I lol'ed when i heard the comparison. Might as well compare this to a Prius or a Smart car.

[@Right-Handed_Neutrino]

With that increase in rev limiter, that bike would be a screamer with some cams to make better usage of that powerband. I bet you could get 175rwhp with a set of cams from one of their other V4's with more duration. Man, I want that bike so bad. Selling my 2014 ZX6R and rebuilding an 07 GSX-R 750 to sell to get me a hypernaked. This bike is on my shortlist, but I know I can't afford it. Got the Tuono 1100 RR/Factory (RSV4 was my dream bike) and SuperDuke R 1290 (REALLY want the 1390 Evo) on the list

[@briank3754]

Thanks for the review and info. I'm hoping that Ducati is going through this V4 phase until they can get emissions sorted out with the twins. I can 't believe what I am hearing about the lack of power off the line. This Diavel has lost the magic for sure. It doesn't look special, it doesn't sound special (even with a $6000 exhaust), and it sounds like it doesn't perform that well either. Keep in mind this bike is selling for well over $25,000. I miss my 1198 Testestratta Diavel. I will be looking for a 1260s. P.S. Ducati, we don't need "manners" we want raw power and a beast of a bike!

[@damiengvideos4337]

Hmmm not sure where your info is coming from but the reviews of the V4 have been nothing but glowing. Handles amazingly performs amazingly. I have one and absolutely love it. You might want to go ride one then have an informed opinion. Oh it sounds incredible in person with the Akra exhaust. KZbin dormant do it justice!

[@occrash5616]

It was nice to see the Ducati Akra map dyno number. I wonder if you dynoed the ducati Akra map for the euro 5 streetfighter v4s. I never seen numbers for the akra map on that bike!

[@ikamperuk2488]

point to note standard cylinder deactivation is at 4krpm (not zero or when in nuetral/1st) .... below 4krpm is on 2 cylinders, above 4krpm is on 4 cylinders .... good vid though up map interesting

[@ChefDucartel-bs8ze]

Cc salut

[@Supercharged1976]

Having ridden the StreetFighter v4 and a couple Panigali's the cylinder deactivation serves one purpose and that's reducing the heat burning your legs in traffic. It does not affect fuel economy what-so-ever.

[@bfarm44]

Four cylinder mode first activate till 4,000 rpm not when you put it in gear

[@AmanSingh-us7bc]

From the shorts you posted , how is that touching 300kph+? All other Diavel's have a top speed of around 270kph. So the BT Moto flash unlocks the top speed?

[@jasperpearce8316]

Very interesting to see the akra map does F.A saying u pay a fortune for the products from dealer. Can u show this for aprilia too? I have akra dealer map on tuono and it sucks!

[@bdgnz]

I noticed the traction control light was on while you were riding, my Diavel V4 does te same, any idea why at all? Thanks

[@Audiavratsilah]

Hey guys, does your remap run richer, i.e will i get more black smoke than the acro map. also, will it void warraantee

[@allenpearson9716]

Can you do a video of setting up the remote control flash unit and using the software to flash the bike?

[@BT_Moto]

This is on our KZbin channel and resources page of our website. Thanks

@@BT_Moto One last question. If Injave an aftermarket exhaust installed that is not part of your list of exhausts then will the flash unit still work or will it possibly cause service lights on the dash?

[@hakanozdemir6113]

Hi. Does your map void the warranty. Ducati say the new exhaust should give at least 8bhp. I think you dynod it with the new exhaust on. You should have done the dyno with the original exhaust and then with the acro exhaust.

[@BT_Moto]

The bike was bought from the dealer with the exhaust on. Mapping can be put back to stock at any time via our handheld.

[@Cookboy3857]

Wow nice motor

[@cmaz8547]

Does this flash work on the v4 pikes peak?

[@BT_Moto]

We can tune those, yes

[@lucerodj11]

the black diavel variant is better... the downside is not carbon but plastic

It’s a hot rod not a crotch rocket and that’s where you’re mistaken

I would love to have the flash done on my bike. How do I tell the local sport bike shop to do the same kind of flash it needs?

What mirrors are those?

[@RadDadisRad]

Does that cylinder deactivation only deactivate fuel or does it integrate valve train as well?

[@Trials77]

I have the Diavel V4 and I live in Fallbrook. I wish I could have taken some turns with you. I would definitely consider the flash. Also, the Akro exhaust sounds great but the dealer always says they wont install it unless it’s only used on track (unregistered).

[@Goldenmemorie90s]

0:10 is that windows wallpaper behind the bike😂

[@bikerbardy]

Is the remap done with a performance filter such as K&N (same part number as for the Multistrada V4 and others).

[@SlowRiderDucati]

I live in Sacramento CA and the dealership refused to install the Akropovic exhaust on my Diavel V4. How did you get It installed on your Diavel V4 and did you have to map yourself?

[@xxthehuskycaboosexx]

Find another dealer. The akro exhaust is a dealer ordered and installed item.

[@Dsam04]

The owner probably had it installed in another state.

[@jpdesmo8123]

are you making a map for the 1260 x diavel?

We did, yes
