DUCATI STREETFIGHTER & DUCATI PANIGALE V4/V4S & R PERFORMANCE UPGRADES & SERVICING MELBOURNE
The Ducati Panigale & the Ducati Streetfighter are two very popular models that we frequently work on. The Panigale is the newer of the two, introduced in 2018. Ducati has done a great job of the styling and electronics on this model. Along with the powerful and torquey engine, Panigale’s make a great road and track bike. Notably winning many superbike championships across the world.
TUNING
Our experience has found these bikes tend to run hot and rough at low rpm with the factory tune.
When fitting performance exhausts and air filters our custom ecu dyno tune will bring out the best in these bikes for slower to fast pace riding. We use Woolich Racing software to edit the software within the stock control module.
We also offer a custom ecu software update, that will make the bike run cooler and smoother for Australian conditions. This is a great option for people that don’t want to go down the path of custom dyno tuning.
SUSPENSION
The suspension on these bikes can be quite soft in the front and harsh in the rear when ridden hard or on track. We find if over 85kg this model needs attention.
We offer a basic setup for the lighter rider utilising all the factory adjustments. Our basic setup will give us a good gauge at where you fit as a rider for your current setup.
For the more serious rider or someone that is heavier then 85kg, we recommend our setup with springs for weight, valving, internal setup and external geometry set up. This is great for the fast road or track day rider.
SERVICING
At Platinum Motorcycles, our servicing is covered under factory warranty. We have all the diagnostic equipment necessary to reset service indicators and clear trouble codes.
The V4 service schedule starts off with a break in service at 1,000km/1yr, then 12,000km/1yr for a general service (our recommendation is to do this every 6,000km or annually) and 24,000km for the Desmo major service. Brake fluids also need to be renewed every 2 years. If your motorcycle is used on track than this is due more frequently.
