Hello everyone,
I purchased a 2013 white Hyperstrada 821 about a a year ago and ride it around The Netherlands. I've been on this forum quite often, always as a lurker only, mainly due to the great tips and tricks for some of the little technical gremlins etc. I must say there is a wealth of information on here and recently I decided to sign up so I could share as well.
I've been riding for a little over a decade now and on lots of different bikes, from small single cylinder bikes to large Japanese 4 cylinder jobs. About a year ago I rented an 1100 Hypermotard for a weekend and instantly decided this was the type of riding that suited me. Hence the purchase of the HS shortly afterwards.
Never cared much for tinkering with bikes as I was always just focused on riding them but for some reason I find myself drawn to making the Hyper just right for me. Holland (depsite a current heat wave) only has good riding a few months of the year so I'll spend the rest of the time making some modifications. Changes are currently mainly cosmetic (blacked-out indicators, bits of matte twill carbon etc.) but I'm enjoying that part of Ducati ownership as well.
Quick question; I'm considering mounting the official heated grips. Will that also take care of the (occasional) issue of the throttle sensor not being read correctly?
Looking forward to reading and learning more here. Anyone want more details, PM me!
