change

Is the interval for oil change really 9,000 miles? My kids VW said that and it cost him $3500 in timing chain and cam replacement, there was a class action lawsuit because lots of cars had this problem. I believe it was due to too long between oil changes. We still waiting for the lawsuit to...

Does anyone know how I can modify my classified ads as "Sold?" I've tried the advance edit option, but I haven't been able to select sold, basically the prefix drop down menu does not show up. Thanks.

Hey all, quick question regarding a coolant change I just did on my 2013 Hyperstrada. Following the service manual I drained and refilled the radiator and reservoir with Prestone 50/50 cor-guard Coolant. Which is an ethylene glycol based coolant. Now I spent a little too much time...

Oil Change "Timing" Question Hi, I now have 2000 miles on my Strada. I had the service done at 600 so I only have 1400 miles on the oil and filter. However it took me almost a year to put those 1400 miles on. The oil doesn't look particularly dark yet but I was wondering about the year old oil...

So I'm changing tires on my bike. Went w/ the Angel GTs. They were on sale on Revzilla. This and the fact that they have been out since around 2013 makes me think that perhaps Pirelli may be coming out w/ a replacement for the Angel GTs. Anyways,my friend has a tool for balancing. I'm not...

I looked. I scratched my head. I looked some more. I scratched my head some more. Then I found the exploded diagrams in the spare parts catalog - I'm still scratching my head. :( Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

I'm coming up on 9,000 miles and will want to reset the indicator for oil change. Is this something we can do?

I'm not sure if this applies to the Hyperstrada, but it's worth taking a look. So basically... I noticed rock chips on my fork stanchions... Yes, the slidy part that is supposed to be really smooth. The fork is supposed to have a protector or guard that keeps rocks from flying up from...

Ok, since a few of us with older Hyperstrada 821's will be coming up for a timing belt change soon, I figured I'd show a few photos and post a few quick tips about doing the belt change yourself. I will state a disclaimer, I am NOT a Ducati or Motorcycle trained mechanic. By that, I am not...

Hi, can somebody explain this please ..... its from Hyperstrada manual "Gear change pedal When released, the gear change pedal automatically returns to rest position N in the centre." What I understand is pedal automatically return to Neutral but it doesn't Thanks

This has my 2013 experience and the 2014 Service Manual pages to help you. 821 Oil Change - Easy Hyper Oil Changes - Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum Easier to post the link than to create a new page.

I'll pass on discussing oil as it upsets too many people. 3 little bolts hold the plastic crash guard under the engine. Easy to remove. The oil filter I selected is what fits most Ducati motorcycles. I also purchased the filter wrench for an additional $2.35. Added paint pen marks to...

Hello two wheeled folks. I've encountered a little problem while changing the rear brakes fluid. It's not the first time but this time it went completely wrong and I don't know why. I ended having swapped the fluid with air. Bummer. Here's how I usually proceed. Open the fluid tank and...

My front right direction indicator light failed me. As a result, when I use it, the 'direction indicator' indicator flickers much faster on the dashboard as well. Can anyone tell if I can change the light bulb myself? And how to? Thanks (seems a lot easier to explain in Dutch for me :D )

First off I'm new to this kind of stuff but I consider myself pretty handy. I wanted to change the brakes fluid by myself. My first reaction was to follow the maintenance manual and after re-reading the chapter three times I've put asside this plans and went on only changing the engine oil...

stupid question i know...how much oil does it hold..3 qts im guessing

Hey guys, have a little over 8500 kms on the bike and wanted to do the oil on the hyper. Needed to buy a 14mm Allen socket. used 4 mm Allen key to remove the 3 bolts holing the engine guard on exposing the oil filter. Pulled out the giant drain plug, oil filter came off by hand. Can't beleive...
