What's the service interval with the newerish 2-valvers? It's not going to be 3 times more expensive.

you will not want to replace the battery, very uncomfortable job to do


Just looked into this, the manual calls for a "service pin" to hold the battery in place while you remove the tray. What are they referring to?

Oh, BTW. Purchased a demo 2015 M821 in red today. Had the Termi's fitted as well...

battery is located behind-under engine towards the front of swingarm . . .

Go to page 8,  http://issuu.com/desmoworks/docs/2015-m821?e=1887458/12417841

All of that is in here:

I see that, but page 217 of the manual calls for this "service pin"...

service pin = 4mm long allen wrench . . .

No worries, need to replace the battery: 8mm socket, 4mm LONG allen wrench and one short 4mm allen, 1/4" universal join, 10mm socket, I prefer one medium and one short 1/4" extensions[to loosen ground cable on LH side of engine under water pump], stubby #2 phillips screw driver and/or 10mm wrench for negative terminal . . . at least a 6-pack . . .

Will try to get you the video of how to  . . .

I figured it was something like that.

Yeah, seems to be quite the job. I appreciate that they put it low, but they really couldn't have made it more complicated to change!

In case you haven't guessed, I plan to swap out my Shorai from the S2R1000.

So, a few things I noticed while on the way to work this morning.

The bike is noticeably wider which put me back onto a new learning curve for lane splitting.
It's noticeably heavier when moving it around under foot power, but not at speed.
The power is very linear and really smooth.
The Termi's without DB killers sound amazing.
The brakes are fantastic.
The rear sets not only make riding on the balls of your feet difficult (not impossible), but it also makes it impossible to use the SSR reverse shifter from my S2R1000.
Oh, and they also make it a bit difficult to put the side stand down without running my boot down the swing arm.

I'd like to attempt to use my old clip ons, but for some reason Ducati decided to use tamper proof torx screws for the throttle.

Yeah, that's about $1k isn't it? That's a bit much right now... Maybe later.

Someone mentioned that a reverse shifter from a 4v bike might work, any experience with this?

Here's another question for you:

Every promotional picture I see for the 821 shows the front turn signals mounted to the sides of the headlight like this:


However, mine, and every picture I've seen of the bike in a physical dealership has them mounted to the forks like this:


And then, here's the obligatory pictures of mine:




Any idea why there's a difference?
