DescriptionThe whole story▼

A naked 1198 cc machine like the DIAVEL puts its engine cases in the firing line. That is what the WAPDU401 is for: 200 g of nylon and Ergal standing between the axle of a DIAVEL and the ground. It is offered in 2 colours: Black, Red. Nothing on the DIAVEL has to be cut or drilled; the standard points carry the kit.

Key Features

  • One WAPDU401 design serves both the front and the rear axle of the DIAVEL
  • CNC-machined rather than cast, so the WAPDU401 mating faces stay true on the DIAVEL
  • Covers the DIAVEL across 9 model years (2011 to 2019)
  • The WAPDU401 stands proud of the axle nut, which is the whole mechanism
  • Anodised to LighTech's standard finish across the whole WAPDU401
  • The WAPDU401 adds 200 g to a DIAVEL and changes nothing about how it steers
  • The insert changes without pulling the axle out of the DIAVEL

How Axle Protection Works

What makes an axle slider work on a DIAVEL is that it touches down before anything structural. Nylon on the outside of the WAPDU401 deforms under impact and springs back afterwards. At 200 g the WAPDU401 is lighter than the fasteners it replaces on some machines.

Construction and Material Quality

What touches the ground on the DIAVEL is nylon, and that is deliberate. Inside sits a machined Ergal insert — the same alloy family LighTech uses for load-bearing parts. Because the insert is a separate item, a scuffed WAPDU401 is rebuilt rather than replaced.

Scope of Delivery

The WAPDU401 kit is sold complete; the coloured inserts are the only item also listed separately. If the DIAVEL needs a second kit later, the WAPDU401 number is the only thing to quote.

Fitment and Compatibility

This listing covers the Ducati DIAVEL only; sister models carry their own part numbers. Nothing on the DIAVEL has to be cut; the kit bolts to what is there.

Fitting

The WAPDU401 arrives complete; no separate fastener order is required for the DIAVEL. Torque to the DIAVEL workshop figures rather than to feel. The 2 finishes of the WAPDU401 (Black, Red) differ in appearance on the DIAVEL and in nothing else.

Road Approval

LighTech supplies no type-approval document with the WAPDU401, and we make no approval claim for it. Whether the fitted position is acceptable on a road-registered DIAVEL is the inspector's call, not ours. Settle that with your inspection body first. On track it is not an issue.
