Heat problems on Panigale V4?

Can you please provide a summary in English?

Once you're in motion the heat should dissipate, but sitting in traffic it can get a bit hot around the thigh area. Not really an uncommon thing with Ducati and you can just wear an extra protective layer to deal with it.

Also, might be just be a cosmetic change...not unusual before full production.

This is one reason why i can't wait for Ducati to start on electric bikes, although those bikes won't have nearly as much character, little issues like this that can impact your riding experience will just go away.

Nah, it's fine and maybe some better aftermarket heat shields will come out later on. An odd jump to electric bikes from a bit of heat, though I've always wanted an electric scooted. But that is neither here nor there.

Are you planing to add something fore the heat?

Apparently there's a recall for the heat problem. At least that's what I gathered from this Google translated site.

Apparently the new Ducati Panigale V4 would warm up in the under saddle area. This would have obliged the Ducati technicians to add two plastic protective bulkheads, not present on the models on display at EICMA.

Hopefully fixed and non issue...

Most people should be getting it done with the first maintenance job so you can expect these to be dealt with swiftly.

I assume the new deliveries would have it fixed before the keys are handed over to owners. People who has already taken delivery will have to bring it in.

The big question is if it’s heating problem as the bike can overheat or is it heating problem as in if you are riding in shorts and flip flops you will burn...
If it’s the later one then there is no problem whatsoever

Not even sure there is an issue...

Journalists are testing them today.

I think from what I've read that the heat issue is directly related to rider comfort and nothing in regards to bike performance. I've already seen people mentioning whether or not aftermarket heat shields would be available to buy. Definitely seems to be people fishing for problems.

We're essentially sitting on a motor and there's only so much they can do to make a V4 motor run cooler. Bringing this back up because summer if approaching for some fun times in the neither region.
Think there are now carbon pieces with heat shields now in the market for the V4 to help this problem. lieb-speed is one and I think Ilmberger may have something.

This bike gets so hot when riding and the radiator fan is never off.....can’t be right

Heat has always been an issue with Ducati SBKs. What’s new?

I don’t mind it at all. Speed up. Problem solved.
