Decided to go ahead and join --- looks like there's too much good information here to miss out on.
Picked up my 1098S two weeks ago. My first Ducati in 37 years of owning motorcycles (yeah, I'm kinda old --- a 1956 model). I've already paid for the full Termi system, but it's not in yet. Probably about another month. Oh well. it's kinda nice to have something to look forward to.
I've put about 200 miles on it, and it's stalled on me about 3 times, by the way. This is with the stock exhaust. Just push the button, I guess, and don't worry about it.
I'm looking for a good way to protect the back of the tank, without having to apply one of those adhesive things to it --- never had much luck with 'em. Anybody ever tried the Tankslapper film, or know where to get a cover (bra) for the rear of the tank, like a Lockhart Phillips? I haven't seen one yet, but've always used 'em on my Japanese bikes.
I'd also like to reiterate a question already asked by another member, directed to the full Termi owners --- has anyone noticed any hot spots on the fairing, where it looks like it might want to melt? I don't want to coat or wrap anything, but I surely don't want a melted fairing. Does the Termi actually come significantly closer to the fairing than the stocker? I would assume it does, looking at the diameter of the pipes.
Thanks for any and all information.
