Onto the other side of the bike, we have the magnesium (lightweight!) clutch cover for the Superquadro engine. No more Ducati dry clutch rattles on this bike. |
Peaking underneath the bike with the camera looking back from the front tire, I saw this. What is it? |
Ah, it is the air exhaust duct for the lower heat exchanger. The fan will kick on when the temps get too high. |
Located before the rear mufflers is a butterfly valve. It’s probably used for the Engine Brake Control at the minimum and maybe for the traction control too. |
A view from the other side shows the cable used to actuate the valve. |
