DescriptionThe whole story▼

On the DesertX, the radiator cap is one of the small parts that stay in view between the tall fairing and the frame, and after a few seasons it rarely looks new. Gilles' KC-03 is a CNC-milled aluminium cover that sits over the original cap and is clamped in place with the supplied screws, so the cap itself keeps doing its job underneath.

Key Features

  • CNC-milled aluminium cover
  • Sits on the original radiator cap, fixed with the supplied clamping screws
  • One coloured insert each in silver, gold, red and blue
  • The ring colour is your choice
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

Four coloured rings

One insert each in silver, gold, red and blue comes with the cover; choose the one that suits your DesertX and keep the others for later.

1X to 4X, 2022 to 2025

Gilles lists the DesertX of these types. Never open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

Road Approval

Gilles lists this part as not requiring registration on the Ducati DESERT X: no inspection and no entry in the vehicle documents.

Scope of Delivery

One Gilles KC-03 radiator cap cover with clamping screws and four coloured inserts (silver, gold, red, blue).

Fitting

Fit the cover with the engine completely cold: the radiator cap underneath must never be opened while the coolant is hot and under pressure. Place the KC-03 over the original cap, fit the coloured ring you like and tighten the clamping screws evenly, without force. Check after the first ride that the cover sits straight and firm.
