    Owned a 2011 Ducati 848 EVO for 6 years 2015-2021. The first part about the wiring, oil leak from there was what I encountered. Due to the heat, the wires were fked up and I kept getting error code 5.1 saying BATT HI or something, My headlights and dashboard was flickering on and off, based on error code and ducati forum, it pointed towards the rectifier. Changed the rectifier and battery but the problem still persisted. End up it was the wire which was burned out already. Change to a lithium battery too after that because i realised the normal YUASA battery doesnt last long for me. The plastic coolant bottle also tends to leak after awhile due to the heat and the positioning. In my experience, I think the 848 is a good bike to own because it shares parts with the 1098 and 1198. Seeing your bike makes me miss mine as i have sold it during the COVID-19 period. Perhaps you can consider using an after market clutch slave, it really helps in making the hydraulic clutch less stiffer.

    Big fan of these older Ducatis, really hope to own a 748/916/996/998, a 999 or a 1098/1198/848 at some point. The factory issues that can happen with these bikes are rough but there’s just something special about them. Doesn’t help that my dad has had his 2012 Panigale 1199 S since new which has been a fantastic bike for him. 30k miles and still going strong. It’s never had a major issue other than just normal bike stuff. I’m interested to see from experience just how much they improved with the Panigale because I’ve not really heard about that many issues with them.

      Hi Adam, I am about to start addressing these problems. It's funny most of these problems you have outlined are identical to the ones I see on my 848.
      I was riding the bike home at night, and the headlights, dash light and indicators were tripping off, as you mentioned. I cycled onto the BATTERY mode and sure as, it was overcharging. Unlike the 90's Ducati's that the alternator would burn out a stator coil and undercharged. So yep, a new VRR is required.
      Do you mind if I ping you questions over the coming future?

      I've been riding Ducatis for twenty years, and my experience is that the air-cooled models such as the S2R, are very reliable, but the water cooled models like the superbikes are very erratic: Some are fine, but others, even identical models, are complete money pits, with something going wrong every second ride.

    You should remove that white 3-pin plug on the end of those three yellow wires that come from your alternator and hard wire them to your rec/reg. The plug has a habit of catching fire because the spades in the plug are way too close together and the phases short circuit.

    Thanks for the video. This video should be included in the motorcycle's manual. . I have 2008 1098. It takes 1 year for me to solve what problem is this bike. It was constantly overheating and then stopping working. I must have been stranded 6 times because of this. Maybe much I dont know. Since I didn't know what the problem was, almost all the parts were changed.Even though all the parts were replaced, the problem still persisted. I spent more money on repairs than when I bought the bike. But there is no problem right now, after one or two cables were changed :/ If the heat problem continues, I will check the other cables as you said.
    I have another problem. The clutch is constantly loosening despite being adjusted. Generally, there is no problem, but what could be the cause?

    • @uszokrepper1
      @uszokrepper1  4 місяці тому

      @@hakanozdemir3246 hmm if it overheats it can be a pretty easy search following these steps:
      At 104celsius the fan should come on if not check the fuse, if the fuse is blown check the alternator load because that was the indicator of mine about the fried reg rectifier. If everything is okay than maybe the fan itself went down and replace it...
      How quickly get the bike hot? I mean is there a stay around 80celsius where should the thermostat open? If yes than the thermostat is good, or you can check with your hand at around 90celsius if both sides of the radiator are hot or not. If not and it warms very quickly, might be a stuck thermostat.
      Check the water pump like this: when the bike is at around 100celsius, stop the bike, the temp will increase for a minute or two but after all the bike will cool down on the radiator side normally...just a couple degrees, so start the bike again after 3-4 min and the temp should drop on the cluster at least 5 Celsius..it indicates that the water pump stirred the water and "cooled" water arrived to the temp sensor.
      If not, or at 90-100degree the radiator isn't warm everywhere than it can again indicate a bad water pump because it does not send the coolant through the system.
      If these are okay and still overheats than you can dismount first everything and check if the radiator or a hose is clogged and give it fresh coolant, with mocool additive and give the bike a proper air bleeding. I cannot imagine that the bike will overheat In the future if your are checking these things...

      @@hakanozdemir3246 about the clutch: air bleeding on both sides, so down where the piston is and also on the top near the lever. At the bottom you can easily dismount the piston and pull out the clutch rod from engine, give it some engine oil or bearing fat and put it back and also clean the clutch pistons inside. These are easy cleaning and you don't have to disassemble much...
      What it can be also that you shouldn't top of the clutch fluid reservoir because the clutch fluid line goes on the side of the bike where it gets hot, expand the clutch fluid in the hose and without touching the clutch lever your clutch will disengage because the fluid pushes the clutch rod...it sounds silly but it is what it is 😬
      Otherwise, Ducati mechanics and it is something inside your clutch.
