Ducati Panigale V2 S
Every consumable spec for the Ducati Panigale V2 S, each fact sourced, dated, and shown with the source it came from. US-market reference — verify against your owner's manual.
twin-cylinder supersport · 2025–present · 890cc L-twin, spring-valve (non-desmo), 88.5 kW/120.4 hp at 10,750 rpm; wet clutch.
Uplevel trim of the 890 Panigale V2 (2025–present). It shares its engine, brakes, chain, plugs and every fluid with the base V2 — only the suspension (Öhlins NIX30 fork + Öhlins shock) and battery (lithium Skyrich HJT7B) differ, plus a single seat. See the base Panigale V2 sheet for the older 955 Superquadro generations (2020–2024) and the shared 890 base-V2 facts.

Street, track, mixed
Street
- Pads fit calipers, not bikes. That's why one shape number covers a Hayabusa and a V-Strom — and why the same bike model can change shape mid-generation. We resolve pads by caliper and year.
Track
- After track days, shorten your oil change. How much is genuinely unsettled — manufacturers say 'adjust to your use,' not a number. Used-oil analysis is the only rigorous answer.
- A street-legal sintered or EPFA-class pad is the manufacturer-sanctioned track-day choice. Full race compounds are for when the pad is the limiting factor — and yours isn't yet.
- RBF-class fluid buys you ~80°C more fade margin when fresh — and gives most of it back within a year as it absorbs moisture. It's a consumable you change more often, not an upgrade you install once.
- For the street: silicate-free motorcycle coolant (Honda's manuals explain why — silicates chew water-pump seals). For the track: check your org's rules — most ban ethylene glycol outright; pro racing allows water only.
Mixed
Run the street specs above, then shorten the oil interval after track days — how much is genuinely unsettled, so used-oil analysis is the honest guide. If your organisation tech-inspects coolant, check its rules before a session.

Notes & corrections
Myths corrected
The number that circulates online is wrong. We checked the primary source.
Service intervals: Some secondary/aggregator coverage states a 45,000 km / 28,000 mi valve-check interval for the 890
e.g. maintenanceschedule.com (secondary aggregator, not a primary source)
The V2 S owner's manual (scheduled maintenance chart, pp.275–279) explicitly states 30,000 km/18,000 mi for the Valve Check — identical to the base V2. We follow the primary source: 30,000 km, not 45,000 km.
Coverage gaps
Where the catalogues run out. Flagged in the open, never guessed at.
Oil capacity: Drain-only and dry-total figures are unpublished
TOSPEC research
The V2 S owner's manual gives only the combined sump+filter figure (3.8 L) — identical to the base V2. No public V2 (890) workshop manual found for the drain/dry-total split.
Oil filter: OEM oil filter is 44440441A — a DIFFERENT part from the 955's 44440312B/HF159; no aftermarket (HiFlo) cross-reference has been catalogued for the 890 yet
oem-bike-parts fiche + stein-dinse + hiflo-catalogue (checked, absent)
Verified via the 2025 Panigale V2 S factory parts fiche (oil pump/filter assembly, 'FILTER, OIL') and independently via a retailer explicitly listing 'Ducati Panigale 890 V2 (890 cc, 2025–2026)' for 44440441A. The schema requires BOTH an OEM and a HiFlo number for a filled oil_filter value; HiFlo has not published a cross-reference for 44440441A (HF159 covers only the 955), so this fact is a deliberate honest gap rather than a forced HF159 reuse. Do NOT reuse HF159 on an 890 V2 S. Shared with the base 890 V2. Flag for a future wave once HiFlo catalogues it.
Air filter: No HiFlo or K&N aftermarket cross-reference has been catalogued for the 890 Panigale V2 air filter yet
TOSPEC research
OEM 42610801A is well-attested by two Ducati dealers (shop.ducatimilano.com, shop.lind.co.uk) for the MY25 Panigale V2 / Multistrada V2, but neither HiFlo (HFA6004/42610491A is the different 955 application) nor K&N (DU-1112 is 955-only) lists a 2025+ 890 row — hence 'community' confidence, not 'cross'. Aftermarket performance-filter makers Sprint Filter (PM279S / P08 F1-85) and DNA both independently cite 42610801A as the correct OEM baseline for their 890 V2 filters. Shared with the base 890 V2.
Rear brake pads: Rear caliper is a Brembo 2-piston P34 (34 mm, friction BRM 12B HH, 245 mm disc) — IDENTICAL to the base V2; no EBC/SBS pad shape has been catalogued for the 890 yet
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25 (p.288) + bike-parts-ducati fiche + ebc-us-304 (checked, absent)
The V2 S manual's rear-brake section is verbatim-identical to the base V2's. OEM pad kit 61340382A is confirmed on the factory fiche, but the schema requires an EBC shape for a filled value and neither EBC (catalogue #304) nor SBS has published an 890 Panigale V2 row as of this recheck — honest gap rather than a guessed shape. 61340382A is physically shared with several other current Ducati caliper families per parts-fiche cross-search.
Battery: The V2 S ships a FACTORY LITHIUM battery — Skyrich HJT7B (12V 4Ah LiFePO4, Ducati OEM 39540601A / Skyrich HJT7B-FPZ) — NOT a Yuasa; the schema's battery value only carries a Yuasa part number, so this is a deliberate honest gap
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25 (p.289) + carbon4us
Verbatim in the V2 S manual: 'Battery: SKYRICH HJT7B (4Ah).' This is the single hardware difference (besides suspension) that distinguishes the S from the base V2, which uses a lead-acid Yuasa YT7B-BS. Yuasa does NOT publish a cataloged lithium equivalent for this application, so forcing a Yuasa number into the value would misstate the factory fitment — value left null / confidence unverified instead. Retailers cross-reference the Skyrich HJT7B to the lead-acid Yuasa YT7B-BS footprint (a rider CAN fit a YT7B-BS lead-acid), but a lithium OEM pack needs a lithium-safe maintainer — confirm charger compatibility before treating either as a drop-in for the other.
Research notes
Context from the research trail — how a fact was pinned down.
Oil spec: Identical oil spec to the base V2 and to the outgoing 955 generation (SAE 15W-50 / JASO MA2 / API SN)
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
Re-cited directly from the V2 S manual, not inherited from the base sheet. Same Shell Advance DUCATI 15W-50 product across the base V2, the V2 S, and the 955 — only the engine underneath differs.
Viscosity: Single fixed grade — no temperature/alternate-viscosity chart in the V2 S manual
TOSPEC research
Spark plugs: Uses NGK SILMDR9A-8GS — the shared newer Ducati V2/V4 plug, NOT the 955's MAR9A-J
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
Re-cited from the V2 S manual; identical to the base 890 V2. SILMDR9A-8GS is shared across Ducati's newer V2/V4 engine family (also Multistrada V2 / Streetfighter V2, and under Ducati part 67040581B the Multistrada V4 / Diavel V4 per retailer listings). Do not carry over the 955's MAR9A-J.
Front brake pads: Front caliper is a Brembo M50 (M4.30) monobloc 4-piston (friction BRM12E HH, 320 mm discs, PR 16/21 master cylinder) — IDENTICAL to the base V2; no EBC/SBS pad shape has been catalogued for the 890 yet
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25 (p.287) + bike-parts-ducati fiche + ebc-us-304 (checked, absent)
The V2 S manual's braking section is verbatim-identical to the base V2's — same M50 (M4.30) caliper, same BRM12E HH friction material, same 320 mm discs — so the front pads are shared between trims. OEM pad kit 61340121A is confirmed on the factory fiche, but the schema requires an EBC shape (regex-matched) for a filled pads value, and neither EBC (catalogue #304) nor SBS has published an 890 Panigale V2 row as of this recheck. Recording the OEM number honestly rather than guessing an EBC shape (a wrong pad shape is a safety failure). Do NOT reuse the 955's FA630HH — that fits the OLD M4.32 caliper, a different family. 61340121A is physically shared with other current Ducati M50/Stylema-family bikes per parts-fiche cross-search.
Brake fluid: Same DOT 4 spec as the base V2 and the 955 — carries over cleanly
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
Re-cited from the V2 S manual fluids table.
Chain & sprockets: 520 pitch, 106-link (105+1) chain, 15T front / 42T rear — IDENTICAL to the base V2; one tooth down from the 955's 43T rear
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
Re-cited from the V2 S manual. Same drivetrain as the base 890 V2. Do not reuse 955-era JT part numbers (JTF748/JTR762) — JT's Application Guide has no 890 Panigale V2 row yet.
Battery: Base Panigale V2 (lead-acid Yuasa YT7B-BS) is documented on the base V2 sheet
TOSPEC research
See /bikes/ducati-panigale-v2/ for the base trim's battery and the shared 890/955 facts.
Coolant: Same coolant spec and 2.4 L circuit capacity as the base 890 V2
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
Re-cited from the V2 S manual fluids table.
Service intervals: Oil Service 1000 (break-in) at 1,000 km/600 mi or 6 months from delivery
ducati-om-panigale-v2s-my25
One-time first service, not the recurring interval. Recurring oil service is 15,000 km/9,000 mi/24 mo — same as the base 890 V2 and longer than the 955's 12,000 km/12 mo.
DIY & your warranty
Doing this yourself won't void your factory warranty. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act bars a manufacturer or dealer from voiding your warranty just because you — not the dealer — did routine maintenance. To deny a claim they must prove the specific work caused the specific defect. Use spec-compliant parts and fluids, and keep your receipts.

Ducati Panigale V2 S maintenance FAQ
How is the Panigale V2 S different from the base Panigale V2?
Two things, both confirmed verbatim in the MY25 owner's manuals: suspension and battery. The S gets a fully adjustable TiN-coated Öhlins NIX30 43 mm fork and Öhlins shock (the base runs a Marzocchi 43 mm fork and a Kayaba shock), plus a lightweight lithium Skyrich HJT7B battery in place of the base's lead-acid Yuasa YT7B-BS, and a single seat as standard. The engine, brakes, chain, spark plugs, oil, coolant and service intervals are all shared with the base V2.
Do the Panigale V2 S brakes differ from the base V2?
No. Both trims run identical Brembo M50 (M4.30) monobloc 4-piston front callipers on dual 320 mm discs with a Brembo PR 16/21 radial master cylinder and steel-braided lines, plus a 2-piston 245 mm rear — printed word-for-word in both MY25 owner's manuals and confirmed by Ducati's spec and launch press. The brakes DID change versus the previous-generation 955 V2 (which used the heavier Brembo M4.32 caliper), so a rider coming off a 955 will feel a difference between generations, not between the 890's two trims.
How much oil does the Ducati Panigale V2 S take?
About 3.8 litres with a filter change — the manufacturer's with-filter figure, not the larger dry-rebuild number that circulates online. Confirm against your owner's manual.
What oil does the Ducati Panigale V2 S need?
It calls for 15W-50, JASO MA2, API SN. A wet clutch means the JASO class matters — don't substitute an energy-conserving car oil.
How often does the Ducati Panigale V2 S need an oil change?
Every 9,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, per the manufacturer's schedule. Shorten it after track days — used-oil analysis is the only rigorous answer to how much.
