I'm expecting my new 1199 to arrive any day now. I was told Ducati made changes to the latest production run which includes my soon to be delivered 1199. Is anyone privy to the improvements/corrections made in the latest production run?

Hopefully one of the improvements is to actually build some bikes  |

They just need to spread them out better methinks. Right now there's a base, an S, and a Tri that have been sitting there for weeks...

An exhaust that increases HP not less.

perhaps some new screws for the swing arm and other minor changes. Perhaps we can see more changes once it has raced in the wsbk. It is not uncommon for manufacterers to do some tweaks during the production life of a particular model. may it be cars or bikes |

If dealers are being supplied with new fuel maps, then I would think a revised fuel map would be one such "improvement."

Maybe we can compare part numbers for the few things people have had issues with. Anyone have part numbers for; before and after TSB or warranty repair? 1. Fuel Pump 2. Starter 3. Swingarm/ Rear suspension linkage (supposedly 375 recalled, anyone know which model?) 4. Any other known problems? I walked in the dealer last weekend and was told I could get a deal on one of the 4 panigales they had in stock. Just thought to myself I'd wait until after these changes were made from the factory.
