Fuel Tank Replacing | Transforming the Ducati Monster 1200S | Step-by-Step Replacement Guide!

Excellent video that managed to get me out of trouble. I took the tank off a month ago and because of the cold weather I didn't put it back until today. After installing it, i found a cable with a single left over and I wasn't sure if it was for an accessory or a connection on the tank. The Ducati documentation didn't help, but your video identified all the connections you removed and I realised my spare cable was the ground for the tank. My new bike is coming tomorrow and I was in a rush to get the Monster back together as it is being part exchanged. Thanks for making this very useful video 🙏

Hé Graham, how nice that I could help with the video. and it's great that you share the value for you personally with me. That seriously motivates to keep making videos. The monster has been exchanged you say! What's the new love?

[@oceangirl5493]

Thank you very much. Very helpful.

[@DucatiEch]

You are welcome! Nice to hear that it was helpful. 🙂

Could not have done it without your tutorial, thanks.

[@MonsterPOV]

Nice and informative! Thank you for sharing!

[@DucatiEch]

Nice to hear. Thank you. And of course you're welcome!

Excellent video man! I’m curious to see how your rebuild process is coming along. I hope you make an update video soon.

[@DucatiEch]

Hé! Hey. Thanks for your comment and appreciation. Hopefully it has added value for your own project. I did a few rides and will update soon! thanks!

Hey man! Ziet er gaaf uit! Ik heb ook pas een damaged Monster 1200s gekocht, en is nu onderweg. Ik heb hele mooie ideeen ervoor 😎👌🏻

[@DucatiEch]

He! Bedankt. Leuk om te lezen dat je ook een 1200s onder handen gaat nemen. Ben benieuwd naar je plannen!

[@keknittle]

You should make more How To videos of the M1200. How about next replacing the battery.

[@DucatiEch]

Thanks. I’ll consider it. Last thing I did was changing the oil. Is that something interesting?

[@jesseadams8933]

Great video! Any idea of the process is similar for a Monster 797? I'm not finding a video for that particular model.

[@DucatiEch]

Hi, thanks for your comment. I think it will be a similar process. You may be able to get some information from the exploded view of the parts. I looked it up on this website. www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/ducati-parts/2018-monster-797-eu-motorcycles/fuel-tank Maybe this is of some use to you. Good luck with your 797!

Regarding overflow drains, how you distinguish between water and fuel one? or it doesn't really matter

[@DucatiEch]

Hi Dan, thanks for your message. It's nice to hear that it is informative added value for someone else. I don't think there is any difference in the drains. Size is the same and the location under the motorcycle is about the same. For me, one was just a bit longer than the other, which is handy in itself, because the space to put them back on is limited. Thinking about replacing your tank?

[@MonsterPOV]

Thank you for your reply! I want to take it off and send it to a local shop for fresh repaint. Maybe doing a dual-color like Monster 1200s anniversario . :) Cheers from Milano!

[@DucatiEch]

@@MonsterPOV That's nice! I wish you lots of luck!

[@blacktt3z]

Nice video. If you have fuel in the tank does any leak when you remove the quick disconnects?

[@DucatiEch]

I think if you keep the tank straight, there will be little leakage. To be on the safe side, could you empty it completely with a self-made drain?

[@avrc9285]

hi, can you tell me how much it cost approximately to buy, i might need to do something similar

[@DucatiEch]

Hey, thanks for your comment and question. I bought the tank on ebay. This one was not new and cost about €500. I was able to sell the old tank with a dent for about €100. Good luck, should you start your project!

[@avrc9285]

@@DucatiEch thank you

[@caycestaubin5458]

Doesn't look too complicated. Any estimate on time to complete?

[@DucatiEch]

It was indeed not very difficult. Just at ease, I think a few hours to run it. Exact time I don't know.

[@veronicaisl]

What’s was torque nm on the 2 screws?

[@DucatiEch]

I’m sorry, which 2 screws?

[@veronicaisl]

@@DucatiEch screws next to ignition’s key

[@agfixer]

trying to remove my tank, your two front rubber hoses are way longer than mine, my hoses only allow me to lift the rear of the tank up 6 inches, alot of fecking swearing!

[@DucatiEch]

Oh my, that's annoying. Can't you give the hoses more space by working them up from the bottom? They hang about 10cm from the bottom outside the frame for me.
