When I first saw my friend’s Ducati devil, I started to be excited, thinking about how to buy one, the smooth gears coupled with the violent power, and This user-friendly seat height is simply tailor-made for Binzi.
However, this Ducati Big Devil is a customized version of AMG, with a global modification number, and it is imported from Italy. Therefore, it is almost impossible to buy this car at Damao Store in Beijing (Binzi will introduce this high-end custom-modified devil later).
Let’s talk about my Ducati Big Devil. Because it was so addicted, it didn’t take long to get it in my pocket. The initial driving experience was no different from the Italian Big Devil, but after doing it for the first time After the maintenance, two very serious problems began to appear. I don't know whether it was the assembly process produced in Thailand that was not good enough, or the quality of the engine oil used in the Damao store in Beijing was not good enough. Anyway, it gave me a headache and made me want to smash the car.
Let’s talk about the shifting problem first. There is no problem when the car is cold, but once the car heats up, the nightmare begins. The first is the problem of upshifting. It cannot shift from first gear to second gear, and it does not start normal until third gear. Let’s talk about downshifting. Unless you can step on the shift lever when the vehicle is about to stop, otherwise don’t even think about downshifting to overtake. Several times when I went out to run mountains, I couldn't downshift when entering corners, and the power of the high gear could not be connected. It was so awkward that I can't express it in words.
The more I talk, the angrier I get. Take a look at the entire TERMIGNONI exhaust. The exhaust port is extremely dark. Do you think it was shipped from Africa?
I was running in the mountains with two friends last week. They were following me, and the distance was getting further and further away. I thought I was going too fast and they couldn’t keep up, so I stopped and waited for them and took a rest. But who knew they were picking up the mountain? But the first thing he said after taking off his helmet was: "Your car smells so bad, I'm going to be suffocated from behind." It would be so embarrassing for me to go!
Because this Ducati Devil made in Thailand started to burn oil during the Spring Festival, I borrowed a minivan and took it to the Damao store, hoping that they could check it, and my car is still under warranty. It's really infuriating to have such a problem. But who would have thought that there were several vehicles in front of me lined up for maintenance that were burning oil? It seemed that I was not the only one who suffered! But the final solution is to change the engine oil again. Here is another complaint: "First of all, I haven't reached the maintenance period for changing the engine oil. I think it should be replaced for free. You charged me for changing the oil. The second solution is to drive it again." I just want to ask, it's still burning oil, what do you think? ? ?
Is the gap between Italian products and Thai products so big? Then Ducati’s big boss doesn’t know that and Thai people’s are embarrassing you? I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and I was extremely angry. I just want to say: "I won't ride anymore, I want to change my bike."
In fact, this big devil made in Thailand has more than these two problems. The engine is overheated, which may be a common problem of Ducati. The keyless start cannot be sensed, and the chain is pulled when changing gears and accelerating. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I have the same problem. Owners who have problems can leave a message in the "Jinli Moto" APP, and let's complain together.
