Ducati Hypermotard Restoration EP01 | The Project Begins!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Best of luck with that Chopsie - I'm great at taking things apart, it's the putting 'em back together again that's more of an issue.....enjoyed the vid as ever!

[@LambChopRides]

haha, yes this is the easy bit hehe!! Will be calling you for some help!

[@10secondsrule]

Unless in the end there’s always this one screw left...;)

[@mikeking3263]

My brother (rip) and I once took the engine apart on an old cd175 Honda. Put it back together with parts left over. Amazingly it started! ‘Quick! Sell it’ he said, still makes me grin bless him.

[@ryanlowis6253]

Your Hypermotard needs: -BST Rapid Tek Carbon Fiber Wheels -IRC Quickshifter -Mobil 1 oil change to get rid of the fog in the oil window -Open clutch cover to expose that dry clutch (Speedymoto from the good old USA) --Some new front brake and clutch reservoirs to replace those nasty old ones -Corse Dynamics engine stand (it would make it quite easier) -Bonamici rearsets

You know it, I know it.. Carbon wheels.. 👌😁

[@Ukmongoose3]

Hi Chops, great video idea. I have a ‘10 Multistrada which I have supermoto’d and one thing that really needed doing after 8 years or so was to change the throttle cables. The old ones had gradually disintegrated inside with water ingress and made it very difficult to wheelie as they were very sticky. New cables..... no problem. Well, for the bike anyway...... protective film on the paint too, you can get brilliant self healing stuff now. Oh, put it on the forks too. Ceramic coat the wheels and callipers....... enjoy!

[@LambChopRides]

OK great tip thanks

[@Ukmongoose3]

Micro indicators would look cool on your bike too. They are the size of a large bolt head and extremely bright. You guessed it, they are on my multi too. I took the handguards off my bike which improved the look of the bike no end. Try your bike like that, although you’ll lose your fold ins. I put Rizoma mirrors on mine though, which are also really nice and would suit the motard. Have a nice day 🙂

[@Lou.v.k]

Thank you for keeping us entertained, even if it’s more difficult than usual 🙏 I really appreciate it

CHops!!!!!!My new Street Fighter V-4 S arrived today!!! here in Miami,I put 1 mile testing it today, full Akro Titanium Race Exhaust being installed tonight!! I traded the 2016-KTM-1290-SDR for it. I was getting tired of the KTM after 4- years 11,000 miles. The Ducati is 10x better than a KTM, the sound from the V-4 is incredible!!! I felt the KTM had 0 top end, the Street Fighter is stupid power !! Can’t wait to see your review!! I would loan you mine if possible!!! Please get on one soon!!!

[@JTinFL]

The foamy (milky) condensation is fairly common to see in the sight glass. I've had my 2008 Hypermotard S since 2008. Taking it for a ride and getting the bike up to temperature actually cures the issue. When you check the oil you won't notice it in the oil. Ducati also recommended switching from the Shell (what it came from the factory) to Mobil 1 or even Motul also minimizes the foaming. Lots of information on the Ducati forums. The bikes are super reliable but don't like to be neglected or kept outside. I don't ride it as much now that I have the Superduke GT.

[@LambChopRides]

OK great tip thanks very much

[@scottsheerins9485]

Just watched Adjriannickelodeon's video on oil changes for an mt09 and he puts a bit of tape over the ignition until he's filled the bike back up so he won't forget to refill it after leaving it to drain etc. Could be a good idea especially if you're leaving it for quite a while? Could even write oil on it or something?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes good idea

Thanks for taking the time to “document” this. Good luck mate.

[@Jabchok]

Last year I've changed the forks, supported under the engine, then I used custom made from a friend standard, supporting it in the frame holes on top of rear sets for changing the chain and sprocket, I don't know who and how had tighten the rear axle nut, it came out really hard /even I was using an impact gun/ but the really hard part was the front sprocket nut (you better do it on the ground) ..The last thing I did was a STM clutch, and DP street fighter open clutch cover, really nice, didn't take the casing out to cut it, but I would, maybe next time. Good luck with the bike! I will fallow the series with interest!

[@LambChopRides]

Yes very good point about the front sprocket... Think I will loosen that while the rear wheel can be lowered. Good call thanks so much

[@BatFastard01]

Chops, if the hyper is anything like a 916/996, then get bike supported from under engine. With exhaust removed. Bit like an Mx bike. Then all bodywork and tank off, then front and back wheels. Then remove anything that stops you lifting the frame from the engine. Air box etc. You could remove subframe? I’ve never worked on a hyper Moto. Then remove rear engine bolts and swingarm spindle. Loosen front engine bolt. Should be able to lift frame up at rear, remove swing arm and then remove front engine bolt. Frame can then be lifted away, with forks still in yokes. Sounds complicated but really easy tbh. Wish I could come over and help as I can rebuild 916/999/1098 with my eyes shut. 😉 blinking covid 19. Enjoy the build, looking forward to further episodes. 👍🏻

[@LambChopRides]

Yes thats a good idea I can do that have an engine lift.. Ok thanks for the tip

Very helpful video. Keep up the great work. Keep posting more about hypermotard S model. I would definitely need. 😁 Chao

[@cei1973]

Rizoma rear sets were good and a Oberon clutch slave cylinder a must , battery kept shaking loose there was a recall for a bracket but that shook off with me, check that as I broke down a lot due to it! I also fitted a steering damper but that was expensive.

[@stevewalden3814]

Hello. I suggest that you watch one of the videos about how this motorcycle is manufactured - then do everything in reverse. I know there is a one hour video about how the MG Agusta was manufactured. In that, they mounted the engine on a low metal "egg crate" and then build the bike around and above it.

[@markwat5958]

Had exact same model a couple of years ago, a total wheelie/lean meister! A few mods I did to mine which just made it a little prettier and user friendly. Ducati flyscreen Ducati mirror relocation kit. Uses the existing mirrors by fixing to stems and screwing to clutch and brake lever brackets, the constant adjustment and flappy nature of the bar end position will do your nut in after a while. R & G tail tidy, just a note though, the number plate will be very close to the single side Termi, I always used a smaller one but you will have to use a drop bracket to fit a standard plate for MOT. Ducati sport seat, better sculpted and not like siting on a concrete block (on its side) Carbon rear under seat shrouds If you take the exhaust off you can use a scissor/platform jack under the engine and strap it down Looking forward to how you get on

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Mark for the tips!

[@dannyracer25]

Very good 1st video Chops 👍. Thanks from Danny

[@scramblerkrush5088]

Nice one!....I hope the floor paint dries quickly, so we get to see part 2....and talking of parts, don’t forget the hardener if it’s a 2 part paint mix.....we’ll be waiting a month otherwise!

[@LambChopRides]

Haha yes indeed 😂

[@ninjanelly3506]

Strap the frame from your ceiling,roof trusses? Get the tank and seat off and slide a bar through the frame and make wooden supports to take the weight at each end of the bar.An upright piece of studwork with a v in the top and a piece on the floor to act as a foot,2 braces at 45degrees to stabilize it.Then you can lower the engine/swinging arm .How about one of those hydraulic tables to lift Motorcross bikes/Harleys to lower the engine? Good luck with your wallet chops!😂😂😂👍🏻

[@tcjnr82]

Great to see you back doing videos with you on the spanners again. I was a big fan of all your streetfighter feature bikes. And I loved your earlier videos. They were way better than all that geraniums shite. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Thanks Choppers

[@markjackson7650]

To get the rear of the bike up off the ground, I use a strap wrapped around the rear subframe and my engine hoist. It's good to also have the front stabilized by a paddock stand. What you could do with your abba stand is try and get a bit of round bar through the subframe and lift that way

[@LambChopRides]

Yes good tip about bar on the Abba stand.... Could work thanks

[@markjackson7650]

[@andywilliams7510]

Ratchet straps off the garage roof. That’s what I have to do with my RC390. I’ve got four large steel eyes, two in one of the joists and two in the wall. Drilled hole then squirt in some no more nails and screw in, Use some thin ratchet straps off frame to support bike enough to remove things like forks, swingarm, shock etc.

[@jody6183]

Used to have an 1100 myself... gwt TuneECU from the android store and a link cable... great for code reading, resetting error codes, tuning etc. You can also chamhe the startup message from Hypermotard to anything you want....

[@LambChopRides]

Ok will look at that thanks 👍👍

[@grenphelps7455]

What the techs do at my dealership is put a engine support under the engine to hold the engine, but u'll need to be very careful working alone as normally its a 2 person job, and basically the rest of the bike can be taken off the engine

Your magnetic sump plug won’t pick up flakes of aluminium, be worth finding out if the cam lobes suffers from chrome flaking off like the 996 916, Series? Maybe check the valve clearance as well while you in there.

[@andyjohnson9894]

Brilliant Chops, look forward to watching the strip down. I did a Gixxer 1100 supported on wooden blocks and axle stands then a block and tackle rope affair from my garage trusses to get the engine out for rebuild so anything or any way that works pal :-)

[@ryoder]

For cleaning up the outer surface of the engine, I would look into wet blasting with glass bead media. AKA "vapor blasting" or ""vapor honing". There are lots of KZbin videos on it. BTW That oil drain pan is brilliant. I'm going to make one myself.

[@LambChopRides]

Trouble with that is engine has to be stripped as might get media in the engine. I dont want to strip all the engine to do this..

[@edgeyt1]

Looking forward to this, always been a fan of the Hyper. Great timing too as Andy's motorcycle obsessions has just finished his 900 engine rebuild so I'm in need of something to keep me entertained while I'm furloughed.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Have you got any joists or anything you can strap the frame to, to hold the bike up? something to build a strong bridge type structure across it, or in front and behind could also be an option, strong step ladders can hold but not ideal.

[@LambChopRides]

No unfortunately not HR.. I can work around it though cheers

[@jimbobkerwizzel7249]

You could loosen all bolts whilst still on Abba stand. Leave front end attached and hold up with normal bike stand. Remove rear wheel as you can do this with rear stand in place (insert goes into hub). Using A frame ladder with pole in between, or 2 ladders with pole between, ratchet strap rear subframe to hold. Transmission jack would do the same, but more expense. Jack under engine. Remove engine bolts and drop engine down from frame on the jack. Could use ratchet strap to raise rear end further for more clearance. Trick is getting something to support the rear subframe to allow the engine to drop down on the jack.

[@LambChopRides]

OK thanks Jimbob

Not sure I’d completely trust the points you’ve connected the ABBA stand to. There’s a big hole for the swing arm bolt just below the brackets, so make sure there’s enough material there to carry the weight. Lovely bike Chops, can’t wait to see the end result👌👍

Video on the epoxy garage floor please!!! Love that stuff and i bet it will bring you subs from a different audience.

[@ILoveNeeps]

I made a custom tail tidy for my bike (also has the single termi) as all of the aftermarket tail tidys on the market are designed for the double termi meaning they all stick out too far. If you search for "Diy Tail Tidy For Single Exhaust Setup (1st Gen)" on the ducati uk forum you'll find my thread about it. Only potential issue is I had to use an 8"x6" plate however it still passes MOT's fine. Alloy subframes for the bike exist, I got mine from Italy and I imagine they won't be available anytime soon because of the current situation. For the airbox/intake you can either get an MWR HE filter which replaces the top half of the airbox or a set of velocity stacks with filters, they both make a huge difefrence to these bikes.

[@LambChopRides]

OK thanks Neeps will look at that buddy, I have a 5x7 plate so would fit fine! Sounds like just what Im after

[@mcycle24]

Yes I would lift the bike off the engine, You may need to make a wooden frame or something similar to support it underneath first. Good luck.👍

You can do it your way but you might want to have a second pair of helping hands getting the bike off. Maintenance wise I would do the whole engine outside and clearances. Could maybe use a new clutch and an open cover ;) Loom should be okay but I would check the sensors on the engine, especially the temperature sensor on your front cylinder, they tend to be corroded. Replace the tubes from the reservoir the the master cylinder for both clutch and brakes and maybe the whole stuff in the tank such as filters or even seal the tank newly due to rust if its metal. Greetings from Stuttgart.
