Ducati Multistrada V4S 6 month & 5,000 mile review

[@BIGGGESTAL]

Mine is just over 3 yrs old and 24000 miles. I absolutely love it in every way.

It is a brilliant bike yes, I just fancied something a little more nimble. What did you come from to get the MS?

Hey Steve, Great Video.. Looking for a bike like this over the next few months. How have you found it at low speeds? Is the fueling good or is it just wanting to have the revs over 6K all the time? Also did you do any 2 up touring with it or just solo? If 2 Up, How was it?

[@stevesherlockrides]

To be honest it's the easiest bike to ride at low speed as the 19 inch wheel helps with thimatvas done the fueling. It is a heavy bike 230 kgs but feel light

Hi Steve , thanks for the video, I pick up my new V4s in two weeks. Can you advise the feeling from the brakes was it exactly the same after parts replaced by dealer? Do you think it might have been isolated to your bike as I've not heard of this issue previously .

[@stevesherlockrides]

You know what, until I had the problem I was never conscious of the brake feel. It was only afterwards and after the née master cylinder was fitted I became aware. For that reason I believe it was a unique case with my fault. I wouldn't hesitate getting your V4 at all as it is an amazing bike.

Hi Steve, I find with the first pull of front brake it seems spongy. But I think it's just a progressive brake which stops the bike know problem.

[@stevesherlockrides]

@@alistairballoch8821 I think you're right but Ive always had sports bikes and like the feel of the brake grabbing the disc as soon as I pull on the lever. The spongy feel makes e feel uncomfortable when riding with pace.

Hi Steve. I don't recognize the sponginess on the brake on my Multistrada V4. The feel is still solid after ~5,500 miles. Would you check your front wheel bearings (or have them checked) as sufficient wheel movement could knock back the brakepads (through movement of the discs) which would explain the larger lever movement required to get the front brake to work again. Cheers, Mark.
