Hey SlowRider, I may have asked this...but my old Monster needed to sit in a battery tender. I thought this was piss poor craftsmanship. I love Ducati...but do we really need our motorcycle plugged into the wall? Has Ducati fixed this issue?
Hello I never use a battery tender, but I ride my bike every day so it stays charged. An easy way to keep the battery charged while not using is to just disconnect the negative terminal or you could put in a kill switch on the negative wire to disconnect the battery while in storage. Your bike probably has a parasitic drain.
@@SlowRiderDucati I really appreciate your response, Slowrider. I hope to ride my bike much more often than my old Monster. But I think you may be right about the battery draining due to a parasitic drain. I can't wait to get my Diavel!!!
For me your work is witchcraft 😂 it was interesting to watch, I had never even asked myself the question. Thanks ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it, I will try to measure in a wind tunnel since my day job is building rockets.
I am very interested in the calculations with the windshield.. great work @slowrider. Thank you
You are welcome! I will add some 3D Finite element models and wind tunnel data as my day job is building rockets.
