FMF is producing a slip-on for $899 but it hasnt been released yet, probly within a month or so.

I actually went down going through an intersection this past weekend, nice and slow, just slid out when I hit some shale. It scratched the handlebar end and a tiny tiny scratch on the tail section and thats it, I was surprised.

I set the map on setting 2 after the break in period and she seems much more responsive and torquey. I like 2 a lot better than 3 but havent tried any of the others. (why does the manual only describe 1-3??)
I agree the akrapovic is extremely high, I could have added that $2200.00 to the price I paid for the bike and almost rode off on a SuperDuke with a lot more power.

Hate that you went down but good that you walked away from it.

I'm performing the 600 mile service tomorrow if I can finish the Ducati first. Then I'll be on the road the rest of the day.

"why does the manual only describe 1-3??)" I think its because the numbers go from 0 - 10 on the dial and it's stating the other numbers mean nothing. That would be my guess.
