Overview of Throttle Response On E Panigale
Hi All, Could anybody tell me why the Panigale 1199 has a jerky throttle response ? Some people have told me it is because of the two massive cylinders. However, I have ridden twin bikes with more ccs than the Panigale that had a far smoother throttle control (eg. HD V-rod). A technical answer is...
Hi Everyone, need help. I noticed the bike was jerky with the throttle response at the beginning of the ride , made me think it didn't have fuel, then later I filled the tank and later in the ride ,...
Throttle response
There is a company called Panigale spacers. I got them for my 899 and it took that slop out of the throttle response . Not sure if they make them for the 821 but it is worth asking them. Not very expensive and fairly straight forward installation.

As we can see from the illustration, Throttle Response On E Panigale has many fascinating aspects to explore.
The spacers have nothing to do with how the throttle controls the engine, but have everything to do with how your brain controls the hand and perceives the acceleration sensation.

3) Throttle Response Problems This is a less popular complaint and really refers to riders having trouble adjusting to a throttle lag at low RPMs. Instead of a throttle cable, the Ducati V4 has a ride-by-wire that controls acceleration via communication with the bike's CPU. The lag they refer to often refers to emissions control.

I just picked up a 2013 1199R and was wondering if what Im noticing is normal or not. Usually when I am blipping the throttle or taking off from a low RPM, the throttle is very responsive and the revs will increase quickly. However, sometimes it feels as if the revs are not increasing as quickly...
How do power modes work What is limited in the low and mid ...
Stopped for petrol and next thing the throttle has become very jerky. Very hard to blend into the power thru corners and almost impossible to control the throttle for smooth riding around a car park in 1st gear, etc....definitely wasn't like this before...
