Changing a Faulty Temperature Sensor on a Ducati SuperSport 939

On a recent road trip, to the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, my Ducati SuperSport, aka Boe, had a temperature problem. It was the temperature sensor failing, and this is how I diagnosed it, cleared the fault and replaced the temperature sensor with a new one.

Great vid Stace, had the same problem a year or so ago, but was too lazy to video changing the sensor! 🙄 Also, probably didn't do as good a job, love your workshop. Can you send over some sun to the UK please? 😭

[@staceonwheels]

Hesitant to send you much of our sunshine... it's been unusually rare this year! 😂 This one is a small workshop... I can barely move around the bikes, but we do have a BIG workshop where my engine build is underway, and where my 848 teacj bike lives. But I live both workshops for different reasons as you might appreciate. Thanks for dropping by the channel.

Hi, Can i change the sensor without empty the coolant ? And i don't have the connector to reset the default, so maybe the default will stay after change the sensor ? Thank you.

[@staceonwheels]

No, the coolant has to be drained or it will just pour out where you remove the sensor. The fault code being present shouldn't affect anything but you can get a dealer to clear it on your next visit. If you plan to keep working on your bike, the OBD and adapter and app is worthwhile to get.

@@staceonwheels thank you for you're quickly answer (sorry for my english, i'm french). It's really clear and you're video is really perfect. I found some cheap cable and mecadiag on pc to reset the default. I think i would test it. If i let the problem of sensor (when the temperature is 10/20 degree celcius i don't have the probleme. Can i continue to ride for the summer or it's a risk to my bike ?

@guillaumethorel4732 please know I'm not a mechanic so I only know what I learn and research, but many other SS owners have said the bike is safe to ride with the faulty sensor. Of course, you may not know the real temperature so perhaps don't ride it too hard and make it too hot!! 😁

@@staceonwheels maybe the most principal thing is to have coolant in the bike 😅

Ah... yep! 😂
