Very Easy and Simple Change and Inspect Spark Plugs [Ducati Monster]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лис 2017
- In this "How To" video I show the process of changing old NGK Spark Plugs to new ones on a Ducati Monsters. I highly recommend this to anyone that's motivated, interested in saving money and have a small working space. Here's what you're going to need, 2 NGK Spark Plugs, Anti Seize Lubricant, Torque Wrench, Service Manual, Spark Plug Gap Gauge, Socket Wrench and a Spark Plug socket. Please keep in mind that this is a loose guide and it’s up to you to research and use common sense when you're working on your motorcycle. If by any chance, you're uncertain about something, reach out to your dealership/mechanic for advice or do some research. Since this video is a loose guide, take your time and don't rush when you're working. Thank you for watching and good luck!

Thank you for watching! 🙂 If you're interested in any of the parts seen on my bike, click the link and support the channel. www.motovationusa.com/?ldid=clutch1st
You don't use anti seize lube on spark plugs, it interferes with torque settings. Only need dielectric grease on coil.
this, or use anti-seize and drop your torque spec by 20-30%
Another reason why I love these videos bro, good information and techniques, remind me of all the stuff my pops says when we work on stuff.
Good looks and always appreciate you watching. I try to keep the installation instructions precise and simple so anyone can follow.
Great video as always bud. Very informative and easy to follow. Keep up the great work man
Yeah man, keeping it simple and easy for anyone with a little motivation to follow. As always, good looks for the support. :)
no problem bud
Nice video fam keep up the hard work.
FURIOUS GONZO Good looks for watching! Always grinding. 🙂
Dang those were easy to get at. The beauty of a naked 2 cylinder I guess lol. Good video as always brother.
2WheeledLogan Really quick and easy work to get done. I guess it’s a small benefit to rocking a naked bike. 😬
Dope Video my dude!! Send ya boy some clutch first stickers!!
jay campbell I got you! DM your info on IG and once I get a new batch, I’ll get some out to you.
thank you for this..will be applying on my bike today. What do you have, a 796?
Nice video bro again ! A+
Good looks fam! You already know, glad you rock with your boy.
good job Mike
CM MOTO Thanks man. 🙂
Wow, those plugs were easy to get at. The only 90 degree v twin I owned was a Suzuki SV 1000. You had to remove the tank and the air box to get at the back plug!
OldManTony Yeah man, it’s light work doing the Spark Plugs on a naked Ducati Monster.
As a rule of thumb, it’s always a great idea to put a tiny bit of dielectric grease in the boot before you reassemble.
Great tip! Thank you for watching.
hey bro, I have had some detail with the gasoline pump and I want to open it to inspect the filter if it is necessary to change it, do you have any video or recommendation for it? greetings from Mexico!
Lucky you mine look like it’s going to be a pain in the a$$ lol nice vid as always dude
It might be a bit tougher to get to your spark plugs but it's all the same/similar process. Loosely use this vid and your service manual to complete yours and you should be fine. :)
yea dude its a pain got 4 of them up under the tank area
super easy on a 796 Ducati. I changed them in a R6 and the placement of the spark plugs are deep in there, you have to take the whole thing apart almost!
addanay yeah man, it’s light work on the Monster.
I may have missed it, but can you let me know how many ft/lbs of torque to set my torque wrench to? Thank you!
I like how easy those were to access. Sparks on an inline 4 are a pain to even get to
- The illestrator - Yeah man, I helped Panda with his and doing the in-line 4s takes a little more effort.
Keep up good work 👍
RogerGJager Will do and good looks for watching.
Great video, wondering if permatex copper grease is ok instead of the lubricant you used? Also, what torque specs do you use? I have a Scrambler and the manual just says "must be securely tightened". There's also no mention about gap measurement in the Scrambler workshop manual? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks and glad you found the video helpful. Are you looking to replace your spark plugs anytime soon? I’ll look into the torque spec for you when I get a chance. Hit that Subscribe Button to help the channel grow.
Please where can i get the gab guage please I need some please
Hi, Great video. Thank you for sharing. I wonder what will happen if we don’t change spark plugs for a long time. How will it harm the bike? Just wonder~
You would definitely change your spark plugs or your bike will not run right. That initial spark gets the bike rolling.
@@ClutchFirst recently I feel my bike sometimes will not accelerate right, sometimes it just shut off the engine and appear “engine” symbol on the screen. Spark plug might be the reason.
nice job! meticulous and careful
dafobra Thanks man. It’s pretty simple on a naked L Twin. 👍🏽
Great video!
Forgive the noob question but how often do you recommend changing them.
At around what mileage?
OCR_MIG ! It’s actually a good question. I’d recommend checking your specific bike service manual for when you should replace yours. If I were to take a guess, for your FZ09 it would be every 8k miles. I tend to do mine for every major service.
The standard, copper ones are rated 10~20k miles
Iridium/platinum are rated 30+k miles
I wanted to test it on my GSR750 and did a change after 17k miles (recommended 8k). Bike was on a dyno before/after change. No changes in engine work whatsoever with new sparks.
As a standard my bike came with platinum plugs and there was only slight discoloration on them even though it's not babied around. I've done 20+ track days on it in last 5 months. Just for giggles we tried mixing new/old plugs. No difference at all. We've put the old ones back in and will do another check at 25k miles.
I think it all comes down to what quality fuel you have in your area. I always get 102, in USA it's equivalent to 95 i believe.
SickPrid3 I have to agree with you. Very rarely do you see a different in performance with better Spark Plugs. Typically 8k Miles is the ideal time to swap them out and would never go over 24k even with the iridium ones. I also run the highest grade fuel on my bike.
CLUTCH1st great info, thanks guys!
shooooooooot when i grow up i wanna be like you
LOL, Thank you. Hopefully this vid helps someone down the line.
Damm it seems so much easier to work on a naked bike then a super sports damm maybe my next bike I’ll switch it up
That's that naked bike life! Simple quick and easy to work on. It's not all glamorous, there are some set backs though. hmmmm, maybe I should do a vid about the pros and cons. 🤔
Spark plug socket size?
The Mechanical Circus it’s funny how you commented exactly as I was about to start the bike up for a night ride. 🙂 5/8 in or SAE 3/8. Thank you for watching.
I can bet you over tightened the plugs.
