About the Ducati Panigale 959

Overview

The Ducati Panigale 959 is a motorcycle from Ducati. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 955 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 955 cc liquid-cooled engine that makes 157 PS at 10,500 rpm and 107.4 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 9,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (100.0 x 60.8 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 805 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Suspension is by 43 mm chromed inner tubes, USD forks at the front and aluminium double-sided swingarm, monoshock at the rear. Braking is by twin 320 mm discs at the front and a 245 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 120/70 ZR 17 at the front and 180/60 ZR 17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

It weighs 195 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. It is 2,056 mm long, with 1,431 mm between the axles. It carries 17.0 L of fuel.

Maintaining the Ducati Panigale 959

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Double Disc, 320 mm and Disc, 245 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/70 ZR 17 / 180/60 ZR 17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Ducati Panigale 959 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Monoshock
A single rear shock absorber that does the work of a pair.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
