does anybody else find that the rear wheel is a bit stiff to spin when its on the paddock stand? noticed it last night cleaning it after getting back from mallory(its rained on me every..single..time i been out on that bike since ive had it!)
going to whip the caliper off tonight to see if its that if i get time

at least yesterday i found out if the bike stands in the pouring rain with the full open airbox mod it'll still start an run(i was miles away other side of the track when the sky opened :D )
spluttereda bit coupla times though... :)

Check that the swingarm cup on the stand is not rubbing against the rear sproket as you spin the wheel.

EDIT: Just noticed you have an S4R so you have no cups on the rear stand. Sorry.

never had a problem with my DP airbox... the clocks however are a different story, it's almost bad enough to make me buy a nose fairing!

I wouldn't bother. I have an S4 with the standard headlight fairing and my clocks still mist up, it's a common fault, just another Ducati "feature".
