Ducati Monster Minor Service & General maintenance.

[@hoppo1000]

Some advice those oil filter nuts are for removal only not tightening they can leak around the rivets if they are tightened with a spanner so just tighten them on by hand

[@forthebold]

Good tip but I thought I’d save myself squeazing my hand there.

[@Мишик_Сысоев]

tell me, please, which model of spark plugs and candle tips did you present in the video?

[@forthebold]

I would follow the book for the accurate specs for your model.

[@ChaoticDetour]

As you said, always a good idea to do the basic maintenance tune up to a new to you vehicle. Do your own research but I have heard bad things about K&N oil filters, basically the lack of filtration and prone to failure. I personally only use Wix filters if you have them over there.

[@forthebold]

Never read the bad reviews but I'll look into it thanks.

[@ChaoticDetour]

A good place to start is on here. Search for filter comparisons where they cut them open and show the construction, type and quantity of filtration.

[@carltonolson6813]

Maintenance is key👍 very nice

[@forthebold]

Thanks :)

[@mariodelbruno]

You cut open the air box on the monster. Did you have any issues that? Rejet bc of it?

[@forthebold]

It was done before I got it, but yeah it was put on a dynojet to rejet and tune

[@anxietydude1044]

Where can i get your cup boxer engine? Im from Brunei

[@forthebold]

Link for merch is up above. And in the video

[@camaroguy2919]

I have a question for you about the carbs on your other two bikes. Are they CV type cabs? Also the k&N pod filters did you have to modify them and or do they have that inner lip ring on the inside.

[@forthebold]

The GS is slide, the CX and CB750 are CV. No lip on the K&N and no modification needed for either type of carb

[@thomaswiggersmller8983]

@@forthebold well, you do need to tune cv-carbs, i would recommend tweeking the main jets at 90 and 120 just like all the guides, and go from there.. but i suppose the moter will run the best without pods.. i would like som info on murray's carbs though :D seem's like thats the way to go :D!

[@forthebold]

Check out my last video with Cody and myself discussing carbs on CV. We’ve gone with 118 and 85. On the CX I’ve gone 120 and 90. I was saying there’s no modification needed to the K&N air filter for either type of carb.

[@bobdobbs7378]

It looked like somebody had cut the top off the air box . Is this something you have done or was it like that when you got it

[@forthebold]

I just found it like that when I was changing the air filter, Not sure if it was a garage or the previous owner, but looking at the Dynajet charts they're getting good results from the bike so I'm not too worried about restoring it.

[@calvo71086]

Great job man love your channel. Love those mugs wish you had a SR500 one though. I'm in the states probably can't buy one anyway.

[@forthebold]

Ship worldwide, majority of buyers are US based. Might be an SR one soon.

[@calvo71086]

For The Bold - dreegez My SR500 is my favorite i have a Suzuki GS also. It's a big boy GS1100 though can't wait to see your GS up and running man. Keep it up!!!

[@harrisdoesthings]

Heh, never thought of using a G clamp to remove the filter.. nice!

[@forthebold]

Me neither until I realised I didn't have a proper pulley

[@benhawke7231]

GS?? 😢 great vid as always. So I'm finally in my new house. Got my bike in the shop/garage and just trying to clear out all the crap I don't need so I can enough room to work. You know how it is. LoL, at this rate, my GS will be done before your GS. Nener nener.

[@forthebold]

Ha. Only that 1 job left and it’s done. Definitely get round to it this week. 👍🏻

[@ClutchFirst]

Oh yeah! It's definitely an addiction.

[@forthebold]

yup.

[@sigma_kappa]

Did not lube oil filter gasket and Ignored oil strainer!

[@forthebold]

Yup. Oiled it. I’m not going to film every step. It’s just a fill in video. Not a how to instruction

[@Beanys728]

Don't you love all these people telling you how to manage your bikes? Hahaha gotta love those "experts" that watch all your videos, and make sure you know how wrong you're doing things.

[@forthebold]

I’m surprised no ones commented on the biggest sin of me using a G clamp to get the old filter out or not filming putting the oil in.

[@Mrhallager1]

never tight a oil filter with a tool. always be hand...

[@forthebold]

Wasn’t put on too tight with the spanner. Just saving myself a job squeazing my hand in.
