My Ducati Hypermotard Oil Change

[@tiboralbert7277]

Beautiful motorcycle,I love the Ducati's sound!Thank you the video, have a nice day!

[@JanGregoric]

Hello! I am a new owner of a Hyper and i find your videos very informative and made with love - quality stuff! Regards from Slovenia, safe riding!!

[@myhypermotard8351]

Thank you, be well and ride safe.

[@glennlowe1127]

I believe there is also an oil mesh filter behind that hex bolt on the RHS that needs to be cleaned thx

[@blackkitty1774]

lubricating the oil filter isn't to improve the seal, its to prevent gasket damage when mounting it dry.

[@ichbinlieb7125]

Thanks. But what about the manual 🤚service reset without using OBD?

[@cruiseshipsandmotorbikes1081]

This is what I'm planning to upgrade to from a KTM Duke 690 . I just found the perfect place to get to know the bike pre-owned .

[@myhypermotard8351]

Hey Brendon, thank you for commenting. Let me know if I can answer any questions you may have regarding this bike. I was always looking for these types of videos before I got mine and could never find them . You will absolutely love this bike, it is incredibly fun to ride. Let me know if there is something you may want to know, I get many of my video ideas from questions you guys want answered.

[@Warner1981]

I upgraded from the Husqvarna 701sm and not regretted it. Fantastic bike. And this video is also handy for maintenance cheers

[@myhypermotard8351]

Dave Warner Q&A from viewers Video coming out tomorrow . You may have a question answered on there. Thanks for commenting, ride safe.

How did you like the switch to the Hyper? Im thinking of going the other way and getting the 690.

[@Snotroggel453]

@@jjohn56if you like to ride on highways and open roads then get the hyper. If you like to hoon around downtown or on twisty roads then the 690 will give you more fun.

Like you I was one of the first to get the new hypermotard, the downside, not much info available. All that I can find is for the previous generation 939 that uses a different computer. Not sure that the amazon products used on the 939 work on the 950.

Perfect. Dont know why, but google says 3.4 L, my hyper takes 2.8 L. Yours 3 q👍

[@rinoinfantino5652]

I got the important info about the torch of 11Nm for the oil filter and 20 Nm for the screw cap. I couldn't find it in my standard manual

[@myhypermotard8351]

Rino Infantino I’m glad it helped.

[@Ronix805]

I bought oil, a filter and both washers, for both bolts to do my 500 mile oil change (you said 600, and i was told 500,..??). Ducati dealership said i'd have to bring the bike in to have a light re-set (i'll be checking to see if i can do that myself as well).

[@myhypermotard8351]

I have read on many Ducati forums and also ben told by my Ducati mechanic, it is at 600 miles. The light comes on a little over 600 miles, about 625 or so. I highly recommend that they do this fist service. It’s not just the oil they change, they go over the entire bike to make sure everything is as it should be.

[@Ronix805]

@@myhypermotard8351 Oh ok, well i'll do it at 600 then. I am very comfortable, and confident in doing my own services and inspections of my bike. Don't let the words "Ducati" scare you into always taking it to the dealership.

[@myhypermotard8351]

I know someone who when they took it back , the dealer found that one of the front fork seals was leaking, something that he hadn’t even noticed. Perfect reason to take it in . He got it fixed right away. All these brand new moving parts and sometimes things go bad from the factory.

[@Ronix805]

@@myhypermotard8351 Nope, you're right and i totally agree. No matter what you buy that's brand new, shit still goes bad on them. I guess it comes down to how mechanically inclined you are. I have never (knock on wood) took a new vehicle of any kind, into the dealership and had them find something i didn't already know of. I just don't care to pay some guy shop rates to look at things and tighten things, that I already know how to do. Same with my cars and trucks. Again, just depends on how mechanically inclined you are. To bad you're way down in SoCal, i'm not having any luck finding hypermotards to ride with up here in NorCal. :/ And i'm too old to be trying to keep up with the young guys on sportbikes that wanna do 100+ mph everywhere. I cheated death enough in my life already lol.

[@myhypermotard8351]

Hey, anytime you are out here , look me up. I totally agree with you, hypermotard groups are hard to find.

[@hugot12]

you know Im probably as careful about machinery as you are, true still not a bad idea to half fill the filter. You might find this interesting. Im using a 0w-40 in my air cooled Ducati dry clutch 904cc. This is fully synthetic Castrol titanium edge made in Germany About 9$ per quart. I live in Seattle where temps are not high when I ride. I believe you need very light viscosity at cold startup. A 0w-40 is somewhat new to most people as it really is more of a true 20-30 weight somewhere in the middle. I dont need addatives as it would for the dry clutch over a wet clutch. The way I look at it is, changing the oil more frequently is preferable to do so when it breaks down the viscosity thats needed and wont denegrate . So I have the best of both worlds since the addative they tell us that a 0w really becomes a 40w at full temp, but for how long ? My my newer Mazda Miata requires 0w-20, that must be that with tight tollerances and high compression, they want that super thin oil to move its way through the engine like water. I know you must keep that low viscosity oil somewhat fresh with 3-4 k oil change intervals strictly adhered to. Now for an air cooled Ducati. they mention 15w-50, I guess in a hotter climate that just fine, but that Motoul cost is so high. What do you think is the true weight of that oil with only the modifiers bringing it up to the full 50w at temp ? maybe 30w ? and when it denigrates , what does the viscosity at temp turn into ? So far so good with this 0w-40 , I dont race around at speed anymore, and the Germans dont make cheap stuff. This Castrol was meant for BMW and Mercedes. Some Castrol titanium edge oils dont say made in Germany or Belgium. Just something to think about. When you do alot of research, they let some judge make the legal decision, that as long as a synthetic oil is called full synthetic, all it really needs to be called that is somewhere between 10-20 % synthetic ingredients. Maybe they mean esters. A real good synthetic I believe is the Amzoil product.

[@myhypermotard8351]

Man, you really do some research.. That’s how crazy informed I like to be as well. Great info, thank you for that, really appreciate the research you put into this..

[@hugot12]

my thoughts on filling oil filter with some oil. You do believe your engine parts dont really drain off all the oil film on them right ? Next, how fast do you think oil is pumped through the filter once the engine is started, maybe one second ? Do you believe the internals are bone dry or still lubricated, unless you previously dis assembled the whole engine and took solvent to rinse down any oil film left on all parts ? Im 64 and owned about 46 motorcycles , loss count of how many cars also. Rebuilt my own engine in bikes and cars. So I see the wear on these engines and never saw bearing or ring wear caused be any engine starved for oil deprivation during the after oil change procedure. Just something to consider.

[@myhypermotard8351]

I never really thought about it that way. It just makes me feel better filling the filter with some oil, something I have been doing for years on cars. It doesn’t hurt either way. Thank you for commenting, ride safe.

[@hoytem379]

@@myhypermotard8351 I would caution against filling the filter simply because the oil, even though it's new has not been filtered. It could have plastic contaminants from the bottling process or other foreign debris. If you were dead set on priming the filter I would fill through the holes bordering the outer edge rather than the center. Just my opinion

[@failranch9542]

I say prefill the filter if you can. That’s what I was always taught and I never had an issue. However, it was pointed out to me that some modern vehicles place the filter nearly upside down (Chrysler Pentastar for example) which makes that old method impossible. This made me rethink the importance of doing it.

[@alonsoudry8406]

Great vids and great channel, appreciate you doing these as it is impossible to find the torque specs online, did you end up buying the service manual?

[@myhypermotard8351]

No, I never got the manual. Thanks for commenting.

[@wavecatcher2360]

Hey man, love the videos! Quick question, I just took in my hypermotard 821 for an annual service. I recently put on a competition Werks slip on exhaust and I went for a ride. When I got back the oil light was on and I leaned the bike and couldn’t see any oil in the gas eye. Do you have any suggestions on what it could be? Is it from maybe the slip on?

[@myhypermotard8351]

Is the drain plug still there? Maybe they didn’t tighten it correctly. The slip on should have nothing to do with missing oil.

[@Sticktuitiveness]

Great video! I have an MTS 950 with the same engine, and this is just what I needed. Incidentally what size cap did you buy to torque on your filter? Is the size as simple as measuring the diameter of the filter itself?
