Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Hello Akshay..thanks for the suggestions..appreciate it though i have my doubts .. based on the compression ratio the fuel suggested is 95 octane...if it was peak pressure in the chamber deciding it i could understand the tweaking in bike settings...but i don't think you can tweak compression pressures without design changes...and still issue the same technical manuals...

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Well Sir in dehradun you can find one petrol pump at new empire Cinema hall , rajpur road called universal petrol pump...
Another is near Prince chowk called meghdoot petrol pump...
They both provide extra premium petrol.... Other than these 2 i don't fill anywhere else as these are most trusted ones

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience


The two that i know off which sell 97, Moolchand and Qutab Minar.

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Thanks Monk for the info but it seems a bit difficult to go to these two as a regular filling joint as I stay in Noida and to go all the way and find out they are out of stock will be a bit pissing off. But certainly if they stock it all the time I can take trips to these places to fill up...

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

I've found one on the ring road just around the corner to the Ordnance factory which stocks Extra Premium..been there a couple of times...seeing the crowd amd traffic on main roads in Doon now a days its a much more scenic and relaxing route

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Since i live in the Defence Colony

Re: 100 days with the X Diavel S

I wouldn t call it a sham. Its never a free service and companies surely reimburse service costs to ASS thats why you need to submit service coupens to ASS. In case of imports, if they included these 11k in invoice price of bike, the overall rise in price after taxes maybe 30 40k in ex showroom prices. Consumables are chargeable anyway.

Re: 100 days with the X Diavel S


ohhh..so that's how it works...hmmmm.....well as advised by other owners I'd rather carry lubes myself for the next service...

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Congratulations on your new ride, Sir! It's a beast I must say. Is the exhaust causing issues?
Happy riding sir, keep munching many more miles in the years to come[emoji2]

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Thanks Anjeeth...there are no issues whatsoever so far...by the grace of God...the only issue is i don't get to ride it that much...

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

Haha, hope you get a chance to go for a long ride soon. Waiting for your travelogue featuring this beauty.

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience

As I count days to get back on land I thought I'd just put some pics over here to keep the thread alive and kicking...


First morning ride..seems ready to pounce on the road ahead


Neighbours asked to have their photos clicked with her for FB


Daugther loves to do vroom vroom after school[emoji4]


Ride with ducatistis on Yamuna exoressway...I was and still am, the slowest of the lot


Another morning ride on NH24, the guy with beard was the Manager at Ducati but few days back joined BMW Motorrad...very nice guy indeed...since he is gone weekend rides have cime to a halt sadly


First interstate ride...Noida to Dehradun..midway break for yummy food...


En route Dehradun, a rather scenic but bad road stretch between Mzfrngr and Roorkie


A railway bridge on the same stretch of road...look how low it is...as a train was passing I stopped..what if someone used the toilet??? Ewwww...


MA Daat Kali Mandir....just at the entry point of Dehradun from Saharanpur side...very popular...all new vehicles are brought there for blessings and a red chunni tied to them..I did the same...


What lush greens...


I wonder what are his thoughts???


Dehradun....ohhh...all my childhood spent here..what memories!!!


Hills and valleys abound...on the way to Mussoorie


Not the best ride due to the tourist traffic...but I wasn't in any hurry


The venue fir my marriage...right on the foothills of Mussoorie


They thought I was a firangi...


I asked for someone to take a pic and the girl in the background started posing...


Dehradun in the monsoons...there is little you can compare to it


Maybe having a bhutta in Dehradun in the monsoons is even better...


Beautiful Tibetan monasteries and what not scattered in Doon


Just a random pic in one of the many beautiful places in Doon


The road is calling...

Hope you guys enjoy the pics...

Re: Ducati XDiavel S Ownership Experience
