OEM Chemical Mandate: 100% Silicate-Free Ethylene Glycol (OAT)
Recommended: Eni Agip Permanent Spezial (OAT Silicate-Free 50/50). Traditional automotive green coolants contain silicates that precipitate as microscopic sand crystals, scouring and destroying motorcycle ceramic water pump mechanical seals within 5,000 miles. Always dilute with pure distilled water; tap water minerals bond to hot aluminum cylinder liners and cause localized boiling hot spots.
Interactive Antifreeze Concentration & Protection Engine
Concentration: 50% Concentrate / 50% Distilled Water
Freeze Point Protection
-37°C
Coolant remains slush-free without expanding or cracking aluminum cylinder water jackets.
Boiling Point (Under 1.4 bar Cap)
128°C
Pressurized protection prevents localized steam pockets and head gasket blowout.
Workshop Batch Mixing Recipe
Concentrate: 1.3 L
Distilled Water: 1.3 L
Pre-mix together in clean container before pouring into radiator filler neck.
Thermostat Stove-Top Bench Testing Simulator
Water Bath Temperature: 25°C (77°F)
Thermostat Valve Lift Height0.0 mm / 8.0 mm Min
VALVE SEALED COLD (25°C / 77°F) — NORMAL WARM-UP
Workshop Bench Technique: Suspend thermostat on a wire suspended in a beaker of water with a digital thermometer. Do NOT let thermostat touch the metal bottom of the pan. Heat slowly; valve must crack at 78°C and open at least 8 mm by 92°C. If it opens late or fails to reach 8 mm, replace thermostat immediately.
Radiator Cap Pressure Tester Diagnostic
Holding Spec: 1.4 bar (20.3 psi)
Motorcycle radiator caps feature a calibrated spring that holds hydraulic pressure inside the radiator. Every 1 psi of pressure elevates the coolant boiling point by 3°F.
Symptom: Mystery Boil-Over at Traffic Stops
If a bike runs cool at 60 MPH but immediately burps coolant into the reservoir and overflows onto the ground at stoplights, test the cap with a Stant pressure tester. An aged cap venting early at 0.7 bar (10 psi) lets coolant flash into steam at 115°C instead of 128°C.
Five-Step Workshop Air-Burp Protocol
Drain Plug: 10 N·m
1
Drain & New Washer
Remove water pump drain bolt and cylinder jacket drain. Replace copper/aluminum crush washer; torque to 10 N·m.
2
Slow Gravity Fill
Pour pre-mixed coolant slowly into radiator filler neck so air bubbles have time to vent upward.
3
Hose Kneading
Firmly squeeze upper and lower radiator hoses by hand to dislodge air bubbles trapped in the water pump impeller and cylinder head.
4
Thermostat Cycle
Idle engine with radiator cap off. Wait for thermostat to crack open at 78°C. Level will burp and drop; immediately top off.
5
Reservoir Cold Fill
Fill expansion reservoir between MIN and MAX marks. Install pressure cap past first safety detent to full lock.

Application & Recommended Riding Profile
Recommended for modern high-performance street motorcycles, spirited canyon riding, two-up touring, and occasional trackdays.
Hydraulic Fluid Bleeding & Caliper Overhaul Protocol
Hygroscopic Moisture Curve
Glycol brake fluid absorbs 2%–3% atmospheric water annually. Over 24 months, boiling point collapses from 260°C (500°F) to below 165°C (329°F), risking sudden vapor-lock brake loss. Flush fluid every 2 years.
Piston Seal Rollback Function
Caliper square-profile rubber seals flex under pressure to retract pistons ~0.15 mm when pressure drops. Hardened or dirty seals prevent rollback, causing continuous pad drag, glazed rotors, and fuel mileage loss.
Bleeder Torque & Sequence
Bleed master cylinder first, then furthest caliper, then nearest caliper. Tighten bleeder nipples to strictly 7 N·m. Over-tightening permanently shears threads in aluminum calipers.
Direct-Fit Braking Components & Hydraulic Fluids
Authentic double-H sintered pads, replacement floating rotors, and high-temp racing brake fluid

NHTSA #19V382000FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
Received: 20/05/2019
Defect Description

Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Panigale V4, Panigale V4 S, Panigale Speciale, and 2019 Panigale R motorcycles. Excessive pressure in the fuel tank may cause fuel to spray when opening the fuel cap.

Safety Hazard / Consequence

Fuel spray can increase the risk of injury and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Factory Remedy & Repair Action

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will update the fuel cap venting system, provide an updated page for the owner's manual, and affix a warning label decal to the fuel tank, free of charge. The recall began July 9, 2019. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-19-001. Note: This recall includes motorcycles that may have been previously remedied under recall 18V-238 for a similar issue.

Manufacturer Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
