A simple, but important preventative maintenance task!
I absolutely LOVE these videos! I mean, I don't work on my bikes but it's nice to see how it's supposed to be done!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna have my air box housing cleaned after watching this!
+650ib Thanks Ib! You've got too many bikes to do your own maintenance! Let me know if you ever need any help with them...
Those Ducati filters are different than my bikes. Interesting on how those are assembled. Your cleaning suggestion is definitely important and highly overlooked by many DIYers. Good tips!
+Trackbikez Thanks! This was the first time I cleaned and renewed this one since taking over the maintenance on this bike. I'm really curious to see how dirty the bottom of the airbox is when I inspect it in a few months. This video will serve as a good comparison.
Thanks for taking the time to share this video and all your others as well. Love how you make it simple and straight to the point. Also you have added all the links on the products and tools for purchase. It's just a big help and your Awesome! Subscribed!
+Nero Wynn Thank you! I'm hoping to get some new videos uploaded soon... stay tuned!
Great video 👍
Thanks for another informative video
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge with other , quick question, is it the same process for 848 streetfighter ?
Good videos as always!!. So that's where my 1198's air filter is. I need to buy me some tools, I see you had to disassemble a lot just to get to the filter
+alfonso hernandez Yes, the biggest preparation task is removing the fairings. If you've never attempted it before it can seem daunting at first, but after you do it a couple of times it gets easier. I'm considering a video showing how I remove mine to help owners who are unfamiliar with the process... stay tuned!
How often do you service your air filters?
+P Banks I'm going to inspect, clean and re-oil (if needed), this one once a year. I bought this bike new, so the first three service intervals while this bike was under warranty were completed at the dealership. Starting with the second service at 12,000km/7,500miles, Ducati recommends inspecting and cleaning the filter, and renewing it at the next service at 24k km/15k miles. The tech at my dealer said mine looked good and didn't need replacing at 15k. After that, the manual recommends alternating between a cleaning and renewal every other service interval. That's for the stock filter, these aftermarket ones are different, and I'm going to make this part of my annual preventative maintenance program.
Great watching all your videos! A curiosity, you have an aftermarket exhaust system, you now have placed the K&N filter. I wonder why you have not (yet) changed to aftermarket air intakes, I mean the bigger ones? Everyone I met on track and my own 848 has the bigger air intakes in combination with the K&N air filter to increase (although small) the amount of air in the engine. I hope to see your winter preventative maintenance video finished soon. I'm doing the same this year (not on video though) ;)
+ClaudioGNC Claudio, I opted to go with just the slip-ons. I'm not a racer, just a 'track day guy only,' so I'm not looking for every ounce of horsepower that I can find (I'm still try to tame this beast in its stock form!). Personally, I couldn't justify the money and time spent on a full system. Plus, I like the looks (and sound) of the slip-ons that I installed. If I was a racer or looking for more power, I definitely would have a full system. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing video. Wondering if you are still active?
Thank you! Yes still active, but currently quite busy with my 'day' job; I am hopeful that I will have the time later this summer to upload some of the other videos that I have in the pipeline.
looking forward to it!
I spend my last two weeks here and pretty much watch all your DIY video
it's AWESOME! Will you consider doing a coolant change on your Ducati?
youtube doesn't have much Ducati DYI video
thanks!
I will add that to my list of videos to complete. I have water wetter in my 848 now and will complete the coolant change later this year... I will try to make a video of the process.
Hello..Different subject. What about valve adjustments for this bike? Should I be afraid? I am in Houston by the way. Have read that regardless of city it is hard to find dealers with techs that know how to adjust valves on this or any brand sport bike. Please advise your take on this. I personally am not very mechanically inclined but would like a sport bike. Thanks.
+dry509 I do all of my own maintenance now, but over the years have used a couple of different dealers for various reasons, including valve checks and adjustments; I would be surprised if you could not find a good tech at one of the Houston dealers or shops. You might want to go check out one of the ducati forums to seek some local input on this...
Cleaned my airbox once I installed the MWR racing filters. It wasn't that dirty thought as it didn't have that many miles on it at the time.
BTW how do you like your GPR stabilizer?
+Other7777 I love it as much as it loves me! It has saved my a$$ on more than one occasion; this was the worst: ua-cam.com/video/zol-CSKSFqs/v-deo.html, thankfully I had it set all the way up to the highest setting!
+Track848 Oh I didn't see that video! That was definitely a pucker moment.
I have been looking at different stabilizers for the Monster and have come between BiTubo, Scotts, and GPR. Sadly the Ohlins for mine isn't made anymore from what I have found and it was a side mount configuration.
+Other7777 I can attest to the GPR, but haven't used BiTubo or Scotts. I have friends who have, and I don't think you could go wrong with any of these; they're all good brands known for doing their job.
