I used your valve shim maintenance video to adjust my 1198 multi valves . The outcome was so humbling man . Soooo super smooth again . Thanx again brother . Keep up the great work .

[@FD-ms2nm]

This video was more helpful than other guys that were in a shop with a lift.... thank you

[@orlandoducati]

I spent $118 for the dealer to do this..never again, been following all your videos along with track848..not paying $118/hr and waiting 3 weeks for anything on my bike to be serviced.

[@ChristopherCoppolaVilla]

Another spot on video. Will help me a ton. Sevice manual talks about aligning chain, but watching this makes me think it is very similar to other bikes. Thanks!

[@_MonaMona.]

Legend. I used your video to adjust my chain on the 1098. Thanks for the simple and easy walk though

[@Mabbsg]

Brotheus im just reached so much knowledge during watching your films. Did valve adjustment, belts replacment, and now chain adjustment. Thanks Dude :)

[@freelanceriders]

Dude, thanks for the vidz. Just got myself an 848 and first time having a single sided swingarm bike. I do as much servicing myself as i can and this is all new to me. Massive thanks from down under Aus. instasubbed

[@OCDRex11]

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for another excellent video

[@robertbenz]

Great videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@thibault6307]

Thank you from France. I let you going on yours explications.

[@bikerslovecurvessr9609]

Just got an 848 😃 awsome vid mate cheers

[@Draecko]

KZbin algorithm trying to remind me I need to tighten my chain xD

[@ciganh]

Thanks mate

[@lonewolf36s]

thank you this was very helpful. Unfortunately mine has a black plastic guard rail underneath the swingarm, it's practically impossible to accurately measure (it's dimensions gradually reduce). But the ruler without a margin idea definitely helps

[@brotheus6310]

lonewolf36s is it the factory chain guide mine has one too? Remember the measurement is from the aluminum swingarm to the center of the chain pin. Not off the guide.

[@lonewolf36s]

definitely yea it's from factory. Looking again yours does indeed have it too. Been measuring from the metal itself definitely. I believe I have it right finally, i hope haha :)

[@Tom-je9ny]

Very helpfull, thanks a lot for making this. What about a video where you show how to replace the chain and the sprockets ? 😁

[@jacksmith3189]

Good information Thanks

[@brocksterification]

Thanks for this video!!! 🤙

[@atank]

another great video!!!!!!!!!

[@malyfsborin]

Hey thanks for the video. Off topic question, did you upgrade your starter wires to copper? How does your 1098 start so fast? I know these bikes always sluggish to start. I ordered my HICAP wiring kit from Motolectic just waiting for it to come in.

[@brotheus6310]

I have not touched anything regarding the starting system other than a new battery. The new battery was whatever was available at the time. That start up in the video may have been a warm start I can't recall.

[@malyfsborin]

@@brotheus6310 yeah after i posted my comment, i read your other comment you had the bike running previously. Anyways I’m new to 1098, what would you suggest for maintenance and upgrades?

[@Ali848evo]

hello brother i want to talk to you something i have ducati 848 evo there is a problem in that when i start it with the key in it it gets the miter light and head light off and the kill switch off the light all on. so please bro tell me now

[@scruffy2365]

Thanks dude,

[@Mosquito057]

Good evening, the panel light sometimes turns on what would it be? Ducati monster 821

[@aaronhines6522]

Nathan Santana how did you get your bike to fire up that quick mine takes a few turn overs to finally fire up

[@brotheus6310]

I had the bike running maybe 45 minutes before I recorded that shot. When its cold and sits for a few days I give it a tiny bit of throttle and it fires up first try. Don't be afraid to give a little throttle when starting it. Also, my timing belts and battery are new. A new battery makes a huge difference and my battery is always on the battery tender.

[@xCharjx]

Would this work with a Multistrada??

[@atank]

hey what is dripping from the rear sprocket?

[@brotheus6310]

Its water I just washed the bike.

[@peterdixon861]

where did you get that list of torque values?

[@brotheus6310]

Google. And LT Snyders book.

[@tuberrobby]

Could not stop wandering what the liquid is that is dripping?

[@brotheus6310]

tuberrobby I believe it was water trapped within the wheel hub

[@t.h1572]

yes it is.. if you remove it completely you will find alot of dust built up behind there and it traps water inside aswell. there is a video here where one ducati owner removed the ecsentric hub and it was alot of crap inside xD

[@Ducati_Dude]

[@simonaardelean194]

YOU SHOLD DO THIS WITH SOMEBODY ON THE BIKE !

[@brotheus6310]

No do not adjust your chain with someone on your bike you will under tighten it! Only time you do that is on a dirt bike when adjusting sag.

[@simonaardelean194]

END IF YOU HIT ONE BUMB WILE YOU RIDE THE BIKE? YOUR CHAIN WILL BE BRAKE ! THINK ABOUT THAT

[@brotheus6310]

Simona Ardelean no man don't deceive people on this page with the wrong information. Ducati does not mention sitting on the bike during adjustment. Did you right the service manual? I didn't think so

[@brotheus6310]

Simona Ardelean if you set your suspension correctly and adjust the chain according to the service manual nothing will happen when you hit a bump other than hitting the bump.

[@ciganh]

Thanks mate
