My battery charger is telling me the battery of my 2013 821 is nearing replacement time and I suspect it is the original. Looking online, I note that MotoBatt versions, which have done well for me on other bikes, are listed as 12AH or 14AH. Any advice on whether both will fit? I'm not...

I always look through the Ducati ads on ebay-UK just to lust after models I'd never buy, and thought I'd specifically look at the Mono 698 list because I do like the concept of singles as well as v-twins. There were so many for sale with only a few hundred miles on them, indicating purchases...

The fuelling of my 2013 HS 821 was never especially troublesome when I got it at 8K miles, but in light of all the problems others reported, I was intrigued to see if mine could be improved. First I fitted a Booster Plug, but found little-to-no effect so took it off and got my expert mechanic to...

I got around to fitting a Healtech GIPRO gear indicator today, model no. GPDT-DO1, on my 2013 821 'Strada. I have one on my 2000 Duke ST4 to which I had to fit a proximity detector to count the rear wheel rotations, but was delighted to find the versions for later bikes like the 'Strada work off...

I don't know whether we have a resident moderator to check credentials and posts, but a 'member' called adoralen449 has just sent me a personal email advertising her nude photos. If this was a genuine 'Strada rider and was nice, I might open the link, but I doubt it'd be to my advantage... Nick

My lady Dianne and I are touring Scotland in our campervan, rather than on two wheels. There are advantages both ways, but some time I hope we will be on bikes. Anyway, we were turning out of Lochcarron garage when a string of bikes pulled in, and one was a HyperStrada! This was mid-afternoon on...

Please don't mention it to anyone, but my 'Strada won't be legally back on the road until May 1st, but I snuck out for a ride on it today. What a great bike! So alive and eager! I'm a devotee of the Touring engine map for its civility at low speeds, but a few degrees more throttle twist and the...

Some while back, I posted a picture of the mod I made to be able to hold the thin sleeve-nut behind the lower front of the tank panel. This nut and the screw feed through a rubber double-grommet that is virtually impossible to install into the panel and the metal plate behind at the same time...

Just to say hello from Norfolk, UK. My 2013 821 Hyperstrada is a recent purchase, but I'm very familiar with other Ducatis and have an assortment of them and various other vee-twins, especially Cagivas. The HS is like no other of my bikes! Nick
