Hey Ib! You called it with leaving the bottom fairing off. This bike's design is so far ahead of it's time, the bluing of the exhaust makes it looks AMAZING! LOLOL
Great test for your viewers - the HP is negligible, but even if we called it identical, the cost savings for the Motul oil is SIGNIFICANT! Great content as always man!
Ducati uses 15W50 oil. You should compare it with the same type of oil, not the 5w40, to see the real difference. the other thing I would say is that it is not recommended at all to use different oil spec other than the factory, which is 15W50 for the V4
Hey... Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. We compared Motul 300v 15w50 oil to Ducati Performance Oil in the video below. ua-cam.com/video/uBPHi52X1Gs/v-deo.htmlsi=i5SeqwpSRrgPqUrQ
Hey Ib, Don’t the organic oils also have a life based on heat cycles? I hear that 300v is only good for a day or two of track time before the organic esters expire. I wonder how long that would realistically be on the street. Maybe a week after the first heat cycle before they expire?
@@650ib oh coolio, a comment from Motul would be ever so powerful, settle the lifespan debate for good. The above is just what I understood from my local pro shop
650ib, Have you ever had any issues with your riding modes on your V4R? Mine is stuck in Street mode and when I try to put it into Race A mode it goes straight to the engine screen. Just curious if you had that issue on your Ducati
Ducati Performance Oil is for dry clutch bikes and it's weight is not listed on the bottle or internet. However, we sent it to a private laboratory for testing and it's 0 (zero) weight motor oil.
@@650ib cheers. I’m in Dallas, so I have AMS down here. I also have a mechanic from Ducati Corsa just north so I’m good. Ducati Detroit is also really good, so if I was else where, I’d definitely look at sending it in for the major services.
The Panigale V4 R gets very hot on the dyno since it doesn't have air from the road to help cool it down. The hotter the bike gets, less horsepower and torque it produces.
Früher hätte man gesagt 'ein nutzbares Drehzahlband von 3000 Umdrehungen, nämlich von 12000 bis 15.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute' Wobei sich das natürlich nur viel anhört, ... denn 3/15 x 100 macht nur 20 % des gesamten Drehzahlbandes - aber dann natürlich insgesamt genügend Leistung vorhanden ist ist das wohl auch ausreichend. Und danke fürs Teilen, wir wissen immer gerne mehr! (And how about the use of race fuels again? Does electronics/ignition/injection gsets free more power with higher octane fuels?)
@@Snotroggel453 you will notice that the wet clutch better responses. The bike better shifts. And gas response is better. Also a little more power. It's not cheap but the best oil you can buy. Running it for years already. Notice the production date of the 300v it has a life time of 3 years. They sell you fresh oil. Mineral base oil has always a Expiration date. Like 2 stroke oil like race castrol a747
Yes, 240HP at the crank. Every dyno reads different and weather conditions also effect the HP numbers. For this experiment, we're only concerned with the HP and TQ comparisons back to back with different oil.
Its a great test for sure but where on earth is the 240hp ducati claim.....this should be well north of 210wheel....u tried a hot day, now a cooler day....high pressure, low pressure. Last time i checked cleveland wasnt 4000ft above sea level so where is it hiding? Dynos shouldnt fluctuate more than 5% in theory.

Thanks Bro.... I totally agree, looks amazing with bottom fairings off 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@650ib Yessir....

Thanks so much for the compliment and for engaging with this 🎥 Bro. Glad you enjoyed it 🦾🦾🦾
I hope I will be rewarded for the effort you put in with very good content, good luck.
I hope so too!
Another cleveland local! Awesome. 300v ftw.
For reference on the 300v, its recommended to replace every 1500miles, or 500 track miles.
Thanks Bro 🦾
258 $$ for oil, hell noway!!!!!!
How the bike is strapped down also affects dyno reading.
Indeed

Should have put some Yamalube RS4GP in the test too Ib
that would be awesome!
😂
I genuinely thought that with it being a cooler day the numbers would be higher, but hey still stout. Great comparison IB.
Thank you. The inside temperature of the dyno room that day was 89 degrees for all dyno pulls.
i use Motul first time in 1998 on GSX750SRAD .....after that i never change it :P
Great choice!

Hey... I've never heard of that. I will ask the folks at Motul about it.

650ib,
Have you ever had any issues with your riding modes on your V4R? Mine is stuck in Street mode and when I try to put it into Race A mode it goes straight to the engine screen. Just curious if you had that issue on your Ducati
Hey.... I've never experienced or heard of this issue. I'd take the bike to an authorized Ducati dealership and have this fixed.
@@650ib figured it out. You have to press and hold the enter button from the beginning which I wasn’t doing. Thanks 650
Put the exhaust on a SFV4, you’ll be able to see them😂😂
😂😂😂 I agree!
will using non oem oil affect warranty?
No, using non Shell-Ducati oil will not void the warranty.
Isn't the Ducati Performance oil for dry clutch only? Note the 300V is a lighter weight oil 5w40 vs 15w50.

@@650ib interesting!
Hey ib where you tune your h2 , witch company
Hey, My H2 was custom tuned by Jeremy at CMP but he retired.
@@650ib thanks
Kyle is legitimately a good and honest person. If I lived closer, that dealer would be my go-to.
You can ship him your bike to service 😊

Excellent vid, honest numbers! Respect. 🦾👍🫡🥷🏽🐉💚💚💚
Much appreciated 🙏🏾🦾
why so much loss between pulls ?
The Panigale V4 R gets very hot on the dyno since it doesn't have air from the road to help cool it down. The hotter the bike gets, less horsepower and torque it produces.
@@650ib that is every bike problem, but never seen horsepower drop so much between 3 pulls. If its not broke😂.
What about the Panigale V4 S 2025 and the BST Star Tek wheels my bro?
I ❤️ the bike and ordered one
@@650ib damn U did right i Saw that at World Ducati week 🧐 with My hermano Marc on it was crazy What about the BST Star Tek wheels ?
@@pomplardpanam8591 yes, the wheels are beautiful and I'm getting them
Is Amsoil a no go?

(And how about the use of race fuels again? Does electronics/ignition/injection gsets free more power with higher octane fuels?)
I use always 300v. It's not only horsepower. The best is gas response, and seamless wet clutch, also much better shifts.
Is the 300v suitable for long term use, lets say 4k miles?
@@Snotroggel453 yes, I change it every year. Drive about 10000 km a year.
@@steves365thx, gonna use 300v from now on 👍🏼

Motul is my oil in anything I ride......
Awesome choice!
Next time do an oil analysis
So which oil did you leave in the bike Ib? 👀🤣
Motul 300v 5w40 🦾🦾🦾🦾
Doesn’t Ducati claim 240HP with the performance oil and fancy exhaust system?
Yes, 240HP at the crank. Every dyno reads different and weather conditions also effect the HP numbers. For this experiment, we're only concerned with the HP and TQ comparisons back to back with different oil.
Dont use dynos like that with no ventilation and living room air blowers. Heat soak gonna warp ur engine
always Motul 300v 👍💪
Always
let's go!!!
Save ya money 1hp

go motul
Yessir!
More than double the price n performance is 😢
Brentuning degraded over time 😂
No Sir... The bike gets hot and reduces power. Brentuning is the best!
Always 300v in muh Duc.
