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.

How you ride it

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.

Honesty

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.

Front brake pads: No 2026 Panigale V2 S front row attested yet — EBC Brakes Direct has only the 2025 variant and RevZilla's FA447HH list shows 2025 only

TOSPEC research

EBC's Streetfighter V2 890 pages (2025 & 2026) list the same 447 front shape, but that is the Streetfighter's own row, not a Panigale claim.

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.

Rear brake pads: The Panigale 890 pages list only the HH compound for the rear; EBC's Streetfighter V2 890 pages additionally list EPFA266HH rear — not carried here, it is the Streetfighter's row

TOSPEC research

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.

Tires: Research notes, tire-size wave (adversarially verified)

TOSPEC research

New-generation 890cc Panigale V2/V2 S (MY2025+). Rear size changed vs the 955cc bike: 190/55 ZR17 on Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV (road tire, not a Supercorsa). Ducati page adds that slicks with a 190/60 rear can be mounted for track use. Live URL https://www.ducati.com/us/en/bikes/panigale/panigale-v2 blocks automated access (Akamai 403); verified via the archive.org snapshot of that exact page.

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.

Your right to wrench

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.

Questions

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.

What brake pads fit the Ducati Panigale V2 S?

The front caliper (Brembo Monobloc M50 4-piston radial, 2 × 320 mm discs) takes EBC shape FA447HH. Pads are resolved by caliper and year, not by model name, so verify your caliper before you order.

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.
