Hi,

after 20 years without a bike I am planning my 2-wheels-comeback and would like to place a scrambler order. But at this time, I am not sure which model I should order. My first choice is the "Full Throttle" but on several youtube-vids, the bench is ripped of, e.g. here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSZ62AwOhoA

What is your opinion?

Regards from Germany
Marten

Who knows how it ripped, but that's concerning.

I think I'm going with the Full Throttle too, but only because I want the black tank as a base. I don't like that seat anyway.

Exact same issue in Belfast last week. It think they're going to have major issues with the seat. It's the most comfortable to sit on though

Comfy until the inside material falls out

I thought the rip was just the misleanding yellow 'edge' coming away? The seat is black and the yellow accents are laid on top, even if they come off you wont have holes in your seat IMO...

Looks to me like the yellow panels are thermowelded into cutouts in the black material. So when that weld breaks, you're looking at exposed seat foam.

Enduro seat it is then!

İ was thinking about this and asked if that may happen in General Discussion 3 weeks ago..

Don't like the look of that,
if it has been spotted on two different bikes already, maybe a weak spot in manufacturing needs to be address a.s.a.p. come on QC

The Bike shown at the Vancouver bike show in January had the same issue.

I will be ordering that seat for my icon. Rephrase that I have ordered that seat. I will be bringing this up on pick up and will want a guarantee of money back if this happens or replacements if happening.

Are we sure it's just not the same bike? Even then, it would be pretty bad of them to leave the same seat on.

I wondered the same thing, but if you look at the video in the first post, you will see that bike has the carbon emsssions box, which makes sense since it's in Quebec.

In this one you can tell that emissions box is not there. It would be blocking the view of the braided stainless lines in front of the clutch:

Also, the yellow sticker on the rear shock (under the spring) in first pic is on the top of the shock, and in the picture of other one it's on the bottom side. So, definitely two different bikes with the same problem. No good.

Seat looks like its got too much tension for the stitching or welding. Be better of stitching it too if not. If ever it did happen and they wouldn't or didn't modify under warranty I know a brilliant seat cover man who can

Albie, who's the seat cover man, please? I might decide to have a gel pad fitted if the seat is as uncomfortable as some are reporting.

He is a friend of my mate up North. He does loads of Ducati seats too for mods or sculpture. I will see about getting his number of Geoff .

Hi there,

What the seat made out of? Is it some sort of synthetic leather? or vinyl?

Thanks

 

[Timmy]

Looks like an aftermarket seat will be needed

Picked up my FT yesterday.
Ducati changed the seat:
