light tunning ... assume upwards of 350hp

Unfortunately it's not the european E36M3 rated at over 300hp, but the U.S. version rated at 240hp stock...right now it's probably putting out 260-265hp at the crank...

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Scoured the internet for Dan Kyle posts and articles on 1198 suspension.  This article on Dan Kyle is worth reading if you've done business with him or thinking about it-  http://www.superbikeplanet.com/dankylestory.htm

Otherwise, I spent my final day off work furniture shopping and took my dog for a run...otherwise a eh day.

Dropped off bike at SSD to install EVR slipper clutch.  Discovered the tank is expanding, pushing against the steering dampner mount and the plastic under the tail section is melting from the heat!  Luckily it will be taken care of under waranty.  Not that it will do anything, but I documented my faulty tank at NHTSA.gov.

Rode the 848 into work today as it's a state holiday, the dog is off with Gloria and it was/is a beautiful morning. Got to do some prep work on it before taking it in for some warranty work. Don'tcha know that the left side drive axle nut is 42mm. I have the 46mm for the right side wheel lock.  bang head  Bastards!  I say Bastards!   bang head   laughingdp laughingdp

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
