Man does the bike look odd with the fairings and tank removed. How long are you expecting it to take to install the new mods? Hopefully we get the chance to see a bit of the process.
Well im doing more tests I ran the bike last night coolant to max on reservoir only one on mine so far, then fill rad to top of neck then ran to 100deg c, left over night and all the coolant from reservoir gone .So now I refilled to reservoir to max line and repeated the same up to 100 deg and saw the coolant move up in the reservoir y 1/4 in or 6mm for us kiwis and watched it and at 34deg some had been sucked back may be 1/8 3.2mmInteresting question.
When I pulled mine apart for the oil change there was nothing in the right or left reservoirs.
I removed the left hand reservoir and topped the right reservoir to the "cold" line.
I then ran it for a bit after the oil change and the coolant in the reservoir disappeared.
Dunno what's going on here. 🤔
Right you are. I don't like that. But thanks for the info. Ducati sure packaged this bike pretty compact. Makes for a great motorcycle, but seems more involved to work on. I am still very much in the stare at the bike and wonder where stuff is phase. The owners manual is not that helpful for a lot of stuff.Yer not gonna like this, but, ..... ya gotta take all the right side fairings off.
Sweet mate, well that last test, the coolant returned to the line it started on so I did another tonight consistency is what im after. It amazes me how coolant flows back from the tank to rad below 34deg c the cap must have a wax type plunger as it cant be pressure surely ! more investigation on my part into the operation of that cap:angel:@Beaker
Yeah, that's about what I saw too.
FYI, we Canadians are on metric system also and have been for donkey's years. 😉
FYI it only took two tries (coolant additions) to get mine to behave consistantly.Sweet mate, well that last test, the coolant returned to the line it started on so I did another tonight consistency is what im after.

Video coverage of the V4S being tracked would be greatFYI it only took two tries (coolant additions) to get mine to behave consistantly.
We'll be on the track with my V4S and my 1199S on July 8th.
Gonna be interesting to run the two together. :grin:
