I definitely do, but ok. Thanks for contributing in a meaningful way.

It’s a cool kit. Weird name but definitely a cool looking kit for these bikes.

Haha you’ll be alright. Just take your time and it’s not too bad. These bikes have a lot of issues but luckily they are easy to work on because their construction is so simple. Most motorcycle displays you can’t even disassemble it at all. Cheers man.

No check engine light thereafter.

RUclips has a search function at the top…

The videos are even better if you watch it nekkid.

Appreciate you! Thank you for support!

I agree 100%. It’s the Indian, not the arrow. I haven’t tracked my V2, it’s just not something I’m interested in at this point for whatever reason. I’ve got some automotive track experience and enjoyed that greatly. Just haven’t really drummed up the interest to track motorcycles. Appreciate you sharing, thank you!

Thank you for the positive response and of course for watching. Jealous you are picking up a V2 FE. Ride safe bro!

It’s just the idiot light and it’s very annoying.

Speed/street triple is a good one. Just not really in the same category as MV, Ducati, Aprilia, and even BMW. Speed/Street triple is pretty mundane compared to the other options I just mentioned.

I agree. When I was doing my research I did not feel the Comp Werkes set up had sufficient light. I also didn’t like how you could clearly see each individual LED. Cheers man, thanks for sharing.

I’ve seen the new Austin set up and it looks awesome. I think I saw one sound clip on RUclips and it sounded pretty good. I think for the price though I’d just spend the extra coin to get an FM Project. Brentune makes good tunes but they are a pain to flash back and forth. I much prefer the way UpMap’s flash the bike although they typically don’t perform as well as the brentunes. Appreciate the suggestion!

@@ridewithKY guess both has prps and cons, I prefer the Bren tune even though you have to adjust the tune according to bike mods,fuel etc once it done it's amazing 🤩 nothing like smooth rideability in low to mid range

It’s not about the adjustments it’s flashing it back and forth to stock. Anytime Ducati has an update you have to flash it back to stock in order to not risk losing the tune. It’s easy with the UpMap, it’s a pain with the Brentune because Brentune uses Dimsport as the flash tool. Same as SLR and Deussen. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea to get a Brentune. Their tunes definitely perform. My V2 actually has a Brentune. It just depends on what’s most important to the user.

Keep searching man, they pop up on the used market every so often. Take care.

Honestly, I agree with this statement.

@ridewithKY I almost bought a v4s about a year ago at bev hills ducati. Had cash in hand but they're like 40 grand when they had a 21 rsv4 factory with 300 miles on it for 19k. I threw the SC Project gp22 slip-on on it and the noise it made was unlike anything I've ever experienced. F*cking awesome bike, as is the Duc. No more sportbikes for me currently tho, got a HD road glide now (and a superduke and an old 75 honda cb400)... keeping myself out of trouble bc I don't have the self control needed to ride these bikes on the street 🤣 been thinking about buying one of those new buell hammerheads tho, they look sick

@ridewithKY also, idk about Ducati but getting oem parts for the Aprilia was impossible. Dealership couldn't even order me fairings after a car hit my bike and knocked it over

RSV4 and GP22 combo is pretty unbeatable. I’m running the same set up. Loud as hell but it sounds and looks the best for these bikes. A lot of the other exhaust options for RSV’s are just a universal can hanging off the side of the rearset. Ducati parts are definitely easier to get than Aprilia. I’ve had to order a few factory parts here and there and it takes forever.

@ridewithKY gp22 is ridiculously expensive but so worth it 😂 you go with grabro or brenn flash?

I can’t speak in generalities but in California this is not legal. Then again, nothing is legal in California anyways.

Appreciate the acknowledgment. During my research, there wasn’t a lot of detailed information on this subject. Most owners just default to NRC, which in my experience is not a quality product. Glad you found it helpful. Cheers.

Price is definitely pretty fair on the motodynamic stuff.

That’s not shrink tube, that’s silicone. Surprisingly enough that’s also not how shorts work. You can completely submerge a connection like that and not short anything. If you completely submerge both poles at one time in the same body of water, that would give you a short. Shrink tube on an area like that would be more for corrosion protection than anything else. Appreciate the concern however.

😂😂😂 hope so, however august is coming up so I might be SOL.

Haha he’s a celebrity now.

Perfect for riding too. 🔥.

Thank you for the helpful tip!

Some good points here but it’s definitely not impossible to self maintain these bikes. Even in the warranty paperwork it says: Service work properly done by the owner will not void the warranty. The shift sensor service is just a calibration update from KTM, if there even is one. I can’t speak for all dealers but my dealer said they would perform just the calibration update if I wanted to, assuming there was an update available. In my case there was no update available, therefore, the dealer recommended I not worry about it. Similar story goes for the diagnostic reading. This is a service my local KTM dealer offers on its own, but again, they indicated it wasn’t really necessary. Back in 2022, I was quoted around $280 for the first service. I elected to do it myself. All that being said, the bulk of the maintenance items can easily be done at home with normal tools. Like anything on a mechanical device, just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean you can’t mess it up. However, a basic tool set and basic mechanical knowledge can get you by with these bikes. They are very simple. With the interval at 4650, you probably want to change the oil more frequently anyways. These bikes are almost at redline everywhere you go. Pretty long interval when the engine is maxed out all the time. If an owner is really worried about the QS cal and the diagnostic service, they can just have this done aside from the maintenance done at home. Cheers man.

@@ridewithKY "my local KTM dealer" : Excellent idea! I always forget that I don't need to go the original Husqy dealer and that any KTM serivce place can handle it. I'll defenitively start shoping around. "$280 for the first service." Nice! In 2023, 1st service 620 mls paied $420, 930mls paid $854 (CA, SanJose/SF) ... and I still ended up having to lift the tank myself as the fuel overflow hose was blocked because of a fold, which allowed water pooled under the filler cap to get in the tank after the 1st rain :( . " is just a calibration update from KTM": The Repair Manual 2023 (3403203en). ch20.2 p278; ch20.4 suggests that it is not just an "update" (like for the ECU). It has to "clear adaptation values", resets what it thinks is neutral, and re-calibrates the quickshifter. People who have watched a tech do it say it required the computer to monitor the sensor while the bike is running and gears are shifted . When I told my dealer about the neutral being a hit and miss, they said they "tried" to calibrate it but couldn't fix the reproducible issue... Time for me to checkout a different service place :) "Service work properly done by the owner will not void the warranty." : Things might have changed over time. Owner's manual 2023 (3402694en) ch 3.1 p10. "The work prescribed in the service schedule must only be carried out in an authroized [...] workshop and confirmed in the Husqvarna Motrocycles Dealer.net, as otherwise all warranty claims will be void.". Soon I won't have to care :D and can do stuff myself.

@GloobyBoolga per the KTM dealer it is a calibration update and it’s not exclusive to the 390 series… there is no adjustment on the quickshifters for these bikes anyhow. That’s why the dealer you visited couldn’t do anything about your QS being out of whack despite calibrating properly and despite the issue being able to be reproduced. It’s also illegal to void a warranty if the item isn’t serviced at a factory dealer. It’s the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act. Of course in other countries this may be different, but in the USA there are consumer protection laws that protect against the scenario you cited in the manual. This is why you see even the high end motorcycle brands such as Ducati, MV Agusta, BMW warranting catastrophic failures even if the owner did not have the bike serviced at an authorized dealer. The owner has to submit proof the bike was maintained properly, but it cannot be arbitrarily voided for not using certain service centers.

Awesome man. Glad the video proved helpful to you. Enjoy that Svartpilen, they are great bikes although of course they have their flaws. Glad you were able to fix the coolant system on your own. Part of the beauty of these bikes is the simplicity. It’s very easy to work on these bikes with limited knowledge of mechanics and limited tools. Cheers man, ride safe.

@@ridewithKY For sure - of all the things that could go wrong, a little thermostat delete definitely leans toward the “I can fix it myself” side of the scale.

Awesome man. Glad you’ve enjoyed your XSR up to this point. They really are great bikes that don’t need a lot to really take to the next level. I believe you hanging with your buddy’s GSXS1000. These CP3 engines are strong. Ride safe man. 👊🏽.

Your driving record says you do. 😂.

Maybe in another 30 years. 😂. I’ll trade in my Ducati T shirts for HD ones. Already got the Harley rider haircut though.

Appreciate the view. After getting the RSV4, I got used to having that much power all over the RPM range. The V2 is not a slow bike by any means, but it doesn’t have the power delivery of a 220 hp bike like an RSV4 or V4. That factor and I just wanted to try something different. I have already had the V2 for over 3 years now and wanted to stay in the Ducati family. What better way to stay in the Ducati family but get something different by getting a V4? Thanks again man.

@@ridewithKY Nice and makes sense. I have an 899 and V4. 899 has been track duty only for the last 4 years since picking up the V4. I think I want something different than the 899…but having a hard time deciding…V2, 990 RCR, or the Ape RSV4. Curious on your thoughts?

@IKnowFootball I think the V2 and 899 are too similar so I probably wouldn’t get a V2. 990RCR is going to be a cool bike for sure but we all know KTM quality is very poor. Those first few model years I’d probably wait out for KTM to work all the kinks out. I had a Husqvarna for a few years which used all KTM running gear, I would not buy another KTM personally. That leaves the RSV4. I love my RSV4 and for the money I don’t think it can be beat. That 1099 cc V4 is special. Has a lot more partial throttle torque than the Pani V4’s do but still have that outrageous top end the Pani V4’s are known for. If it were me, I’d get the RSV4.

@@ridewithKYI appreciate you!

Sounds like you’ve got quite the set up bro. 👊🏽.

Cooler than complaining on the internet.

Appreciate the view and the feedback. I’m 5’5”, so pretty much any sport bike is tall for me. Just have to work around it. What saves the v2 for shorties like us is its light and it’s very narrow. Compared to my v4 and rsv4, the v2 is pretty easy to handle despite being hardly able to touch the ground.

It’s more for aesthetics than anything. Café racers traditionally had clip ons. Only functional difference is you get less wind buffering because you aren’t sitting so straight up and down. Wind buffering is just a naked bike thing and not exclusive to XSR’s. I think eventually you get used to the wind buffering but since I am used to fully faired bikes, it’s tough acclimating to the wind resistance of nakeds. Appreciate you watching, and appreciate the feedback.

I get it. Cafe racer. Racing with the wind 😂. Good ans. Cheers bro.

V4 review for sure in the works. Thank you for watching!

Glad you were able to fix the engine light issue yourself! Enjoy that 21 Factory, these RSV4’s are great bikes.

Appreciate the info. Thank you.

It’s a tough one! What are you leaning towards?

Appreciate that. I’ll take a look at the MRA’s. It was 24.4 out the door.

APPRECIATE YOU BIG DAWG 👊🏽

V4 vs RSV4 too. Which one is worse. 😂.

@@ridewithKY 😂

Best beginner bike: v4 vs Rsv4

@@ridewithKY 😂 I was thinking this. Comment section is gonna be wild 😂

I’m scared that you enjoyed watching this but didn’t know what I was talking about. Probably were watching it on mute 😂.

@@ridewithKY Lip syncing, bro. 😂

The guys at KELPI are pretty legit. Glad you got your bike looking the way you want it. 👊🏽.

Depends on if you are responsible or not. These bikes are FAST. But you as the rider are in control of how much of that power you use. Besides the horsepower, these bikes are very light, nimble, and easy to ride. If you are mature and especially if you’ve had some fast cars already, I don’t see any issue with starting on a V2.
