Hi folks
Just saying hello.
Test rode the 1000DS yesterday. Didn't know something that tall could be so much fun, even for a short arse like me. Ordered the S though - wanted the better suspension:bouncy:
These things are stupid fun on B roads so I hope the extra dosh for the S makes it even better. Gave the demonstrator back with an empty tank.
Only criticism is it doesn't sound as good as my 900ss did; bloody eurocrats. I'm sure ther's a cure??
I will be joining the Hampshire group, so hope to see some of you soon. You can help me run the thing in.
Waiting for the delivery date to be confirmed.

Hi Steve welcome aboard, where abouts in Hampshire are you.

Welcome. Mine's a large glass of red. See you around soon.

Hello Steve-S,

Welcome to the DSC. :)

I know what you mean re sound, I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell you about the Cat-By-Pass etc.

Have fun.

May I have a Blandford Fly - Thanks.

Richard.

Hi Steve and welcome, plenty of Multi fans on here!

Have a search through the posts and you will find plenty of info for the multi.

Had mine more than 2 years now and its the longest I've kept any bike. As you say a great b road machine.

Welcome Steve

Had my multi for three years now, best bike I've ever owned, just spent over two grand on it getting it 'blinged':burn:

re sound stick, a full Staintune system on it, you wont be disappointed, it WILL sound better than your 900ss.

Hi Steve, and welcome.

I am the regional organiser for the Hants Region.

If you send me your email address I will add you to my distribution list, that way you will get emails of whatever is going on. roy.andrews@ducatisportingclub.com

Sure you will enjoy the Multi it's a great bike.

Cat bypass will give it a better sound, the Staintune one also improves ground claerance as it is routed under the bike instead of at the side like the original and DP ones.

Cheers, Roy

Hello Steve,

Gorilla Snot for me and a packet of porkies !

Does fitting a cat bypass mean a trip to a dyno is in order?
Will it invalidate the warranty?
Anybody been there already

Didn't myself and it's been fine.

The DP one shouldn't as it's a Ducati part, and unless the Staintune one is proved to be the cause of a problem I can't see that being an issue either IMHO.

Hi Steve, I'm the organiser for the Sussex area and Roy usually brings a group over on the 3rd Sunday of each month, look forward to seeing you there.

I had the DP cat bypass fitted to my 1000DS with the DP air filter. Does improve the sound but not to open pipe levels. One of our kin had termi end pipes as well as the cat bypass and it was probably just a bit TOO loud at times, you'll find that excess noise is almost as good at attracting attention as small plates. If you go the DP route you won't need extra dyno time, just spend a bit of time getting used to it and dialling the suspension in for your preferences, it's really bouncy to start with and takes a long time to bed in.
Have fun mate, welcome to the fold.
