Thanks for all the great V4 Pike Peak videos! The Ducati owners manual really bites! It really helps to get torque specs and tool tips from your vids. Thanks!
That used rear tyre really shows how many highways you have there. There is significant tread on the sides yet carcass wires centrally. You should only ride in that industrial zone which has more corners 😉😎
The correct pressure recommended by Ducati is 36 psi or 2.5 bar. There's a bad conversion calculation in the manual. The sticker on my swingarm stated 36 psi. In the monster SP manual they manage the calculation properly...
Good stuff Rembo. I got about 1500 miles on my PP and the Florida flat spot is now noticeable. Haven’t taken mine to Jennings or Roabling road yet but planning very soon to even out the wear. I too ride very aggressively so it will be interesting to see what the final mileage outcome on my tire will be.
Bring on the MotoGP at COTA! Excellent time especially with the Ducati pass! Enjoy mate unfortunately missing it this year! Keep up the great videos! Cheers
There is two things I will never do when putting this rear tire back on. I will not put the cone and washer on dry, and I will not torque it all the way up to 169 foot pounds. I'm going to stop at 165. This rear nut broke one of my breaker bars. After I torqued it to 169 foot pounds, I could not get the nut off. I also didn't lubricate the cone and washer. This time I did.
How is it that you go through tires so quickly? My V4s is at 4,200 miles and the tires look nearly brand new. I ride the bike pretty hard, so I think, wheelies and all. One thing I do is use a precision micrometer to adjust the wheel alignment but that is just because I have one for rifle round reloading. That can’t make that much of a difference, right?
Probably biggest difference is you are using harder wearing touring tyres, whereas the PP uses sports bike tyres, a change to Angel GT2 on the rear and Diablo corsa on front would be a better alternative 😉.
I have three reasons for this. First, this bike is not the V4S. This is the pikes peak and it comes with very soft tires that are DOT yet designed for the track. The next item is that I did a track day with this bike, lastly I am aggressive in my riding which includes wheelies. When I owned a V4S I got over 10k miles on the stock tires.
@@RemboUSMC Oh. I thought it was because you were using tire shavings to season your chicken like some other marines who came to me in Kandahar with stomach upset. And they kept eating crayons for some reason.
@@jasonpatterson2143 it took me a while of applying power before it started to move....maybe try keep applying energy to nut until it begins to move. It take s a bit. Just a thought if you haven't done already
Strange one this, the Valve is normally the heaviest part of the wheel, yet the balance weights are level with the valve, on such a lightweight wheel the valve would be more of a weight percentage than a normal one, it must be correct as it's from garage but very strange why you would make the heaviest part heavier lol.
I too was very curious about this. It was actually balanced on a machine and not balanced on a gravity balancer. I stood right next to him during balancing

Glad you like them!

I did a shot every time he said "clean it up" I was shithouse drunk half way through the video....LOL

Your videos are great !! Keep them coming.

Thank you!
Grab those OEM spacers to replace the ones that hold the front reflector! Cleans up the bike a lot.
Michelin Road 6 is the best choice Rembo ! That’s what I ride 👌
Yeah I put one on the rear of my old MSV4S and loved it. Scraped pegs on both sided with the Michelin Road 6.
nice

Hi, can you please Tell me which crash Bars these are ? Thx
Stock from Ducati
Where did you finally get the tire changed at?
Rocket Cycle in Delray Beach
How long did you have to run the impact drill? I feel like mine was over tightened by dealer? Any advice? 🤦♂️ Thx
The first time it took a few attempts. That was from the dealer. Once I torqued it myself, it was very quick.
@@RemboUSMC I finally got it off! That was intense! Lol. Thanks for your video.
Sometimes you think it is going to crack off@@chrisc88

@@Skipdigiddy Yes, guilty.
A 12 point 55mm socket is the same thing
Hi Rembo, what kind of Ryobi is that, will 300 lbs torqe be enough - as I just purchased one at the home depot across the street
It is a cheap one but the 1/2" drive version. I use it for taking off, not putting on.
@@RemboUSMC I got it off......it took quite a bit. Thanks for the vid.
Mine is 1,000 lbs tq and it still wont budge.
@@jasonpatterson2143 it took me a while of applying power before it started to move....maybe try keep applying energy to nut until it begins to move. It take s a bit. Just a thought if you haven't done already
@@jasonpatterson2143 Holy crap
I've broken two breaker bars and one impact, nut still wont come off.
Ouch that’s not good
Did you have that much weights with the old tire?
I believe we had more weight on the old tire and less on the new to balance it.
@@RemboUSMC Mine has a bunch of weight on it too, thought it was a little odd, never had more than an ounce on a rear tire before

michelin 😳😱😱😱
Lube the pins or not??
I do. Lightly
@@RemboUSMC ok, thanks. I found nothing about this topic🤷🏻originaly is not lubed.
You had a hard play on her lol 😆
I'm lucky we get loads of twistie English country roads were I am . So am more on the walls Rembo
That silver stripe on the tire, start showing when you have reached “race mode” just an FYI
I’m not sure I understand
@@RemboUSMC just a failed joke Rembo.
nows a good time to clean thing up - only 15 times said
