Panigale V4 and V2 Essential Upgrades: Top 6 Mods for your Ducati!

[@richardmann4006]

Exhaust was a big change and well worth the money if you can pony up the cash. Wheels aren’t going to matter to 99% of the guys on the street. They wouldn’t notice a difference in my opinion. I’ve had zero issues with the windscreen but I guess everyone’s different. One thing I did that I haven’t seen really anyone else do is put a sump guard on. I know they’re traditionally for the Streetfighters BUT they’re still not well protected on the Panigales. Rear sets are a good upgrade but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-do right out of the gate. There’s other things to address before that.

The carbon wheels are a very noticeable improvement compared to forged aluminum or cast on the street. Big difference in handling as far as I can tell.

Hey man, I ride I a 2020 v4s and I’ve got some doubts about my bike. Would be great if you could help me with it. How could I get in touch with you?

[@DesmoDadV2]

Did you install the Woodcraft rearsets? Any tips or suggestions if you did? Are they pretty straight forward for install?

[@Diabeekei]

What would you recommend someone who is on a 22 superduke r evo to get between a v2 and a v4?

[@desmoholic.racing]

Well I guess it depends on your mission with it. You’d likely be fine on a v4 if you’re capable on the super duke. Overall the V4 is a better bike than the v2 everyday. The v2 has an amazing amazing engine but the v4 is more comfy and just operates smoother and better in almost every way. The v4 is so hard to use on the street truly but to each their own with that haha

[@viktorskarlatov8227]

Just get both 😂

Woodcraft rear sets they were perfect on my Aprilla !

I would also add the front brake master cylinder. I hate the stock one on the Panigale V4 with a passion. Changed it to a Brembo 17 RCS Corsa Corta... night and day difference.

[@desmoholic.racing]

Eh hey not a bad idea. I can’t say I’ve had a problem with my masters but Ive heard some here and there that have some “spongy” issues. Maybe I don’t do enough miles at a time for issues like that.

[@viktorskarlatov8227]

I'd go as far as say that the 1199 had better stock brakes than the V4. First time I rode them back to back I thought the V4 is broken. I get so much more feel of what the front is doing under braking with the RCS. I don't understand how or why though. Not sure about the spongy feel, never had a problem with the V4. With other bikes I've had it because of bad bleeding and overheating brake fluid.

No black windscreen???

Exhaust is a must because it deletes the cat, which is the source of 90% of the testicle roasting heat people complain about on the V2 and V4. 100% need a throttle spacer kit to deal with the slack/play they come with Any tail tidy that isn’t NRC garbage Getting the suspension set up for your weight is also 100% necessary.

[@desmoholic.racing]

The V4R throttle is different than the V4 is amazing Mine is set up for my weight as well, but thats not a mod thats adjusting whatcha got. Def should be done though

Nrc tail toddy no good?

[@ghlibisk67]

@@raymundodesouza9222 Build quality is trash. You can feel how cheap the plastic is. 100% get a Futurismoto tail tidy instead

Riding the street in California is not borring . But thats my thing most likely not yours. My back roads i can get to 135 in the straight away but most are steep valleys and climbs in Northern California. And between San Francisco and Oregon 4,500 turns ! Coming out of San Francisco is like a rhythmic valley producing the same set of turns for over an hour straight.

How do you know, you don't even have a road license.
