After highsiding in a tight left corner, i have to say goodbye to my Termignoni silencers…
I was lucky to be able to steer into the green and landed finally in a
water drainage.
As it had rained the whole night before, all was soaked and muddy.
No damage to the painted parts… the fork stops of the frame were slightly
touched left and right by the set screws… what a silly construction…
So i modified it at once…
I managed to get the bike out with the help of my friend and drove back to my mechanic.
We washed and examined every part…
The stops were alligned and the shift lever corrected a bit… that's all.
The tortured Termis were a pain i my eye and so i mounted the stock exhausts… i am keen on the results.
Someone who is willing to invest some time could open them and try to pop out the dents… i am done with this overpriced Ducati product…
What upsets my most is the fact that Ducati doesn't sell the Termignoni silencers as single parts… They are only available as a set with DP ECU and airbox lid!
The DP ECU is sold separately and costs 2/3 of the whole package…
This kind of marketing drives me crazy… what a stupid idea.
Almost every company offers the silencers as single parts as they are a wear article…
I will definitely go for a product where i can buy the single mufflers!
Fresco is my first choice right now as they are nicely made and the price is fair… 400 € in stainless steel for a pair!
By the way:
My dealer said that the results with stock cans + DP ECU and open airbox are better than the Termis with DB Killers… I will check and report as soon as i can swing my totured left leg over the bike again…
