After years of riding different guises of bikes and trying to home in as to what is the best all rounder, have Ducati managed to do it ? On paper at least, this thing might actually be on the money. Power to weight ratio @ 0.6hp/kg. Great Brakes. Comfortable riding style for both touring and...

I was getting hard starting after fueling and stalling.Removed the emissions crap..removing that crap helped. I also disconnected the exhaust valve cable. Between the 2 it really helped the bike, no more stalling. I did notice if I fill the gas tank when hot and park it. it will puke gas on the...

Hi all, unfortunately my ducati went off the road to dealer shop for fixing parts upon the warranty. **I know that this is more a q for a dealer, but I want to make sure what the others experience are before I go even further. Does anyone has been waiting that long for to get bike...

Greetings from South Africa. As you can see in the title I've made the bold move to buy a Ducati Hyperstrada as my first bike ever.. She is a 2013 with 12500km on the clock and a few extras.. At the moment I'm still in Urban mode and as I get use to her and ride I'll move to the Touring and...

So... I found out what it's like to be in a motorcycle accident. It sucks! It happened on my commute home from work on 9/4/15. I THOUGHT the car ahead of me was slowing down to make a right hand turn at the intersection we were approaching. I was SURE the car intended to turn right. It...

Is it normal for the bike to run rich during the break-in period? I only have 175 miles on the bike, but I've noticed that its running very rich and is giving me relatively poor fuel economy. In the low 40 mpg range. Thoughts?

I wanted to reach out to the forum. I just purchased a brand new 2013 Ducati Hyperstrada in July 2015. A ten on a fun factor, but questioning the quality. I have 700 miles on the bike and have had the Low Oil Pressure light come on and stall out. Would not restart, so lucky me I was within 1...

i have the old style bolt on ducati seat from my 2008 hyper. is there a way to simply modify seat to add the new pin system so i can utilize my old seat?

bike won't start, only 1 cylinder working; errors on display Well, as I said in the title... Bike decided to stop working on the autobahn...whilst driving 160kph(100mph). On our 1st day while riding Belgium-Austria. After 350kms. At about 2500kms on the dash. Last Saturday. I refueled just...

If you think you are been monitored by the cops; don't answer... lol Do you think it's an Hooligan bike and why?

I thought I would share a situation which occurred with my HS last weekend. See if anyone has has a similar occurrence. I made a run with some other bikes from Bangkok down to Pattaya, approx. 150 Kms one way. It is the hottest time of the year in Thailand and the temperature was around...

Anyone want a free Corbin? They are looking to borrow a Hyperstrada to get the prototype completed. In return you get the 1st seat for FREE. This would be a no brainer for me, except I live in FL. Contact Christopher @ Corbin in Hollister.

OK, this is weird. The other day I noticed that there was a red oxide (rusty looking) dust on the drivetrain. All around the area of the front sprocket, all over the center stand, on the chain, all over the swingarm, and the rear rim and tire. I didn't ride in heavy rain. My chain was...

Is it just me or do other people hunt the accessories shops and web sites for bits that you might just be able to use? For example my Hyper has the following extras fitted: Front axle sliders for a GSXR600 Frame crash bobbins for a ZX10 Generic rear axle bobbins that I machined down and...

What wax do you guys use for the bike's tank cover and front fairing? The spots that are in contact knees have lost the glorious shine. And however how many time (up to 10 times) I've tried to wax these specific areas I see almost no real improvement. I've been using the Turtle Wax and I hope...

It would be interesting to know if any of the members of this forum use other bike forums around the world? There are several here in South Africa, I am involved in Page Redirection which is a dual sport adventure and touring forum. It's very big here. The forum is bilingual, the guys use...

I'm not going into how, let's just say it was stupid. Bent the rear brake lever tip up, bent the headlight fairing bracket, scratched the exhaust guard. Oh and it fell on my car and scratched the bumper. I heated the brake lever tip and bent it back for now. Took headlight and instrument...

I'm so happy! I picked up my new hyperstrada today and went for a little 7 hour ride. I hit everything from heavy city traffic to open mountain type roads. Slow back roads. Fast highways. I am so happy with this bike. I can't stop thinking about riding again. The only complaint after the day...

Hi my name is DJ I am looking for a new bike and have been test driving so many. I love adventure style bikes. I was originally looking at a Honda nc700x. It was ok. Then tried the cb500x. Was lighter and more fun but lacked soul. I drove the 250r and it was so much fun but no power and a...

hi all . well after road testing a hyperstrada last year i have just bought one from the dealers with only 1200 miles on it for a bargain price. i dont like black wheels on bikes so the first mod i have done is to powder coat the wheels silver. i looked on google to try to find some pictures...
