MUST HAVE ESSENTIAL Mods for 2025 Panigale V4 | First Upgrades

[@650ib]

Great video! Awesome parts for your new V4 and I love the Star Tek wheels for my 1199R. Looking forward to more videos!

[@Motomillion]

Thank you, we appreciate your support!

[@uxjordan]

I don't understand why these bikes don't come with the radiator guard as standard.

[@Motomillion]

Because Ducati also now sells them as an accessory.

[@uxjordan]

@ It makes sense to sell it separately to make money, just like iPhones don't come with a charger, but it is such an important piece of security for any rock that it should come standard.

[@theone5902]

Yeah. It's a money thing. It keeps the cost of the bike lower and they can sell you 1 as accessorie.

[@nitroboii8265]

Weight reduction

[@TheDougSpot]

Because Ducati is a money grubbing joke of a company. How do you justify a $30,000 motorcycle and also sell $20,000 in accessories for that bike?

[@tbrowning9643]

Great start on your new Panigale! Can’t wait to see the transformation you do to it, Happy New Year to you as well!

[@Motomillion]

Thank you for the support and Happy New Year!

[@tastorque]

I really like your first mods 😊 Happy new year from Sydney

[@Motomillion]

Happy New Year from the other side of the world!

[@Davemcmasters]

The outer most fin in radiators are called hail fin and it’s like a protective layer of fin so yes it is very important they don’t get bent. Happy new year and the new bike looks so good! One day I will own a Ducati!!

[@Motomillion]

Thanks Dave! Now I learned a new term!

[@Davemcmasters]

@ we all learn something new everyday! I watched 650ib’s video of Micheal knight destroying him on the TUONO ! I’m ready to start building mine to mimic yours lol

[@thegrayrider148]

@Motomillion Now that's a proper motorcycle lift! I'm sure it makes performing mods much easier, with more confidence in it's stability. Great upgrade!

[@Motomillion]

Thanks for the comment! The lift is great, it definitely makes life easier!

[@peytonhibdon7659]

I totally agree with the radiator guard being a 1st mod as I did. I was shocked last fall when replacing the pads between it and radiator. I noticed rubber on it face so I decided to blow them off from the backside. Tons of rubber inside the fins as well from track days.

[@Motomillion]

Lucky it didnt puncture. Race teams also use mesh. Fun fact it if it is too cold they use tape to block some of the cold air flow.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

I loved that DSS since first laying eyes on it. It reminds me of a tuning fork, and to me looks intentionally upscale and artsy. 😊

[@Motomillion]

We like it too!

[@MaungThiha-fr6uc]

SO COOL

[@Motomillion]

Thank you!

[@jarvisrider]

This a great bike 😮 ❤

[@Motomillion]

Thank you! It is the best!

[@TheRealBhuado]

wow... those rotobox were shut? damn, i have heard some things, but only for the bullet models. hence the new "improved" bullet pro model for 2024 onward. and ib is taking extreme care of his bikes, so misuse is not in question. please keep up updated when you make the vid about the duc. i am in awe.

[@Motomillion]

As promised, we will be transparent.

[@LeeTillbury]

Mani, radiator guards are good for protection but they do make bikes run hotter. You're blocking a lot of cool air hitting the radiator.

[@Motomillion]

You will run hotter if you have a radiator that is beat up. The manufacturers now offer the guards as optional accessories which says quiet a bit.

[@Gsr4me]

That '25 rear swing arm is growin on me... Bike looks gorgeous overall (stock), can't wait to see it completed, might be enough to push me over the edge of buying a Ducati (currently looking at a RSV4 Factory)

[@Alex1090-d2j]

The rsv4 is much better, with a better chassis and a better engine.Ducati is not worth the money.

[@Motomillion]

You shold go ride it!

[@Motomillion]

@Alex1090 >>> Until you need to find a competent dealer to get anything done on your motorcycle, or even buy one to start with.

[@FURIOUSALPHAGAMING]

The problem with the rsv4 is the dealer networks but if there is a good reputable dealer near you then it changes the whole story then you should test ride both if not go for the ducati

[@kroot47]

@@FURIOUSALPHAGAMINGnobody is talking about how the RSV4 is 50lbs heavier than the Ducati. The Ducati has better electronics, better service intervals, better handling and weights 50lbs less. That’s SIGNIFICANT

[@SuperbikeDesign]

Ducati v4 2025 is very cool

[@Motomillion]

Thank you!

[@hypermotardking]

Happy New Year… 🫡🫡

[@Motomillion]

Happy New Year Kal!

[@jasperpearce8316]

New PV4 has grown on me massively already. As the for the carbon wheels. Rotobox 'boost'. I will name and shame😂 sad really coz just a few short years ago everyone wanted them. Still cream rises to the top and BST have had no such issues to my knowledge.

[@Motomillion]

The new V4 has nothing not to like! And for the wheels, on the next video this Tuesday we are swapping them and talking about them.

[@IvanSertic04]

que hermosa moto hermanoooo

[@Motomillion]

Gracias!

[@matthewazevedo274]

Ducati fairing fasnters have always been made out of some type of cheese. I usually throw all of them out for better ones.

[@Motomillion]

In this case it is brie cheese

[@BlazZze108]

hey Manny, i have a question you might be able to anwser, do the Hypure calipers fit the R1/R1M? i was thinking of upgrading my brakes and i needed comfirmation first.

[@Motomillion]

They will not. The caliper bolt spacing is 108mm on the R1/M, the Hypure’s currently only come in 100mm spacing.

[@BlazZze108]

@@Motomillion okay, thank you for the help!

[@OldSkoolNick-c2f]

Just curious Mani, I see some of the bike o.e.m. Part Take offs around your shop do u save them all or sell some or toss some out? Digging the Motomillion V4 mods so far!

[@Motomillion]

We usually don’t sell used parts other than the wheels. We usually keep all of them until someone sees it and wants it.

[@CarbonSharky]

How is the Suzuki coming alone ?

[@Motomillion]

We will be starting back up with it now that our new lift table is here!

[@davidsixvemberkhawlhring597]

What about the 'Tricolore'.....not interested buying it??

[@carloramos7186]

Can you still put stealth mirror infront?

[@Motomillion]

I am sure they will be making something for it.

[@jimbostewart1969]

Im confused on the brake caliper spacers,did you just put new ones on or do they need them ?

[@Motomillion]

It comes with plain spacers and one of the spacers has the integrated reflector. We removed both upper and lower stock spacers. Replacement with the red twm spacer. Just adds a nice little detail and removes the ugly reflectors!

[@jimbostewart1969]

​@@MotomillionGotcha,thank you again Mani ! 🙏🏼 Can't wait to see this build,so far this is the new bike to buy imo 🔥🔥🔥

[@sackychin6267]

Was there plans to get a cbr sp? I remember you teasing it but wonder what happened?

[@Motomillion]

Yes there was. Was never able to get one, the dealers didn’t even have it.

[@RDUKA_13]

Nice bike

[@Motomillion]

Thanks ✌️

[@walidkdd4379]

If you upgrade the wings and the tail to carbon fibre (black) and CNC aluminium black and red clutch, it will be better looking 👌

[@Motomillion]

Thats what every Ducati dealer has. We will do something very different. And eventually it will be a fully painted full carbon build.

[@Canbesaved77]

Looks like they repositioned the charcoal canister, lets see if it fixed the problem.

[@Motomillion]

It definitely did not.

[@Canbesaved77]

@Motomillion Oh well, who needs those pesky things anyways 🤪

[@baiku600rr]

First Mod: Single sided mirror 👌🏽

[@Motomillion]

Yes, that was done by @650ib!

[@baiku600rr]

@Motomillion the man is a visionary! 🤣

[@Lex-Rex]

Been rocking the single sided bar mirror for years.

[@TsukyomiNoMikoto]

Motomillion It's 2025 Can you do a review with the ktm rc8

[@Motomillion]

Do a review of a 2008 bike? Which RC8?

[@TsukyomiNoMikoto]

@Motomillion ktm rc8c Your review is nice to watch

[@uxjordan]

The front mudguard is better in carbon black

[@Motomillion]

We will definitely do that!

[@uxjordan]

@@Motomillion cool

[@moonnham7835]

This bike is on the edge of being cursed, broken mirror and cross threaded bolt. Stay safe, I knocked on my desk that nothing goes wrong while your riding.

[@Motomillion]

Not cursed, it is a Ducati. Mirrors are an afterthought for design and function, and bolts are loose / cross threaded. It is just the normal way of things.

[@ninjasupersport]

That 1199 looks better than that v4, who else agrees?

[@Motomillion]

The paint 100% is better. The new paint on these bikes are so soft, anytime you wipe them it becomes swirls galore!

[@alexbroder1587]

and why change forged aluminum wheels to carbon wheels?Their weight difference is minimal.

[@MarinaraTrackDays]

The standard V4 model that they have in this video does not have forged aluminum wheels they come with heavier cast wheels.

[@Motomillion]

It is not just the weight it is about moment of inertia. Makes a big difference even if it is just 2-3 lbs!

[@alexbroder1587]

and if there are forged wheels?will the difference be visible if carbon fiber is installed?

[@bendavies6775]

What are the caliper spacers actually for? Don’t they change the position where the pads bite on the brake discs/rotors from where the manufacturer intends?

[@Lex-Rex]

He answered this in another post. Here is his response "It comes with plain spacers and one of the spacers has the integrated reflector. We removed both upper and lower stock spacers. Replacement with the red twm spacer. Just adds a nice little detail and removes the ugly reflectors!"

[@Motomillion]

If you use the same size spacers, they do not move anything around. Basically, it is aesthetic, removes the ugly reflector, and adds a bit of color.

[@MaciusSzwed]

Have you ridden the new V4? Whats it like?

[@Motomillion]

Yes! The video is here : m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbdYZh7YsyJrdE

[@MaciusSzwed]

@@Motomillion Thanks Manny

[@Car10121-s]

What’s the reason for purchasing a base spec V4 if you’re then fitting ohlins etc.? Thanks.

[@TheRealBhuado]

@@Car10121-s the S version has electronic suspension.

[@Motomillion]

The aftermarket Ohlins is a more superior setup. Also the price difference for Ohlins and Forged wheels is not worth it. Can add those by yourself for much less and end up with better setup.

[@arming.9840]

Would have liked to see the guards from ahead instead on this protracted and useless wheel demonstration for another bike.

[@Motomillion]

Noted!

[@arming.9840]

@ Tx. Would have been really good after this long video (with many explanations that many of us do not really care about) to see the results of the mods for at least a little longer than 20 sec.

[@akkhanomotive7585]

Gold wheels, Manny, gold wheels.

[@Motomillion]

Yes sir! We think a like. They are on order!

[@motochiptuning]

For this ugly bike no mods will help

[@Christian-xc9bh]

What bike do you have?

[@motochiptuning]

An ugly one, zx14r g2 :))

[@Motomillion]

Waiting for your answer on the final result.

[@motochiptuning]

@ no mods will change my opinion on this model, thry killed it with that pingpong aliexpress front . Previous gen was brutal and stylish. This piece of shit look like cheap japan from alibaba. But good luck with mods Manny

[@tysonarzt3507]

I really find Ducati's design language on this and the Pani V2 to be beautiful. I get it, eye of the beholder and all that.

[@MotorcyclesForMatures]

Why did you buy this cheap base model ? People will point out you are cheap instantly. Why?

[@Motomillion]

We don’t buy stuff based on peoples perception. If that is what they think, let them think so.

[@MotorcyclesForMatures]

@ great answer🤝 like it

[@jakubmuller9132]

What about cooling efficiency with guards? It must be worse or not?

[@Motomillion]

Of course it lowers it from not having anything on with a brand new radiator. But a beat up radiator is worse than a radiator that was protected from early miles. Even Ducati now sells you their own branded radiator and oil cooler guards.
