It's Fixed! Resurrecting a Ducati Diavel That Sat Unused for a Decade. Not as Simple as I Hoped

[@sashenden1974]

“Better not break the speed limit”. Immediately does 84mph

[@3067jon]

Definitely needs to get the overlay GPS calibrated - that looked no faster than 54 to me :)

[@alanfrazer3291]

Must be an error in the readout overlay as it stated mph but is actually kph

[@williamlorimer060867]

Even the overlay is bullshiting that’s not 84mph 😂

[@stevenhunter5799]

Well done on your channel. You will likely never know how much pain you save people with your knowledge and exploration of issues, which can be used across all vehicles. And of course there’s the entertainment value. Top drawer!! 👍🤘✌️

[@ALBERTSCHWARZ-m1q]

Always amazes me how components fail without use love your content thanx mate

[@nuppy.9117]

Some cars have a "reset adaptions" option which needs to be done after changing map/airflow sensors. The adaptions are always running in the back ground to maintain a smooth idle and running as the engine wears or different fuel quality is used etc. If it is not done the engine management system will slowly adjust to the new part but can take a while. It maybe if you left the cheap replacements in after running for a while it may have improved

[@yeehar99]

Fair play, not often you see someone riding Knockhill Circuit "the wrong way"!

[@donaldross4217]

You should try it Frightening going wrong way You get to light speed going down the straight rather than up

[@agee8322]

Nice one! Persistance beats resistance (no pun intended).

[@petermartin3806]

Another excellent vid, like the overlay on the test ride. Been binge watching all over Xmas, you're 35+ experience is soo valuable, keep up the awesome work and incredibly informative vids.

[@Mark-yz8eh]

Happy New Year. Thanks, and looking forward to more. Without doubt, you make the most interesting content on YT.

[@spx1416]

Another great job and hopefully happy customer..I like the overlay!

[@chris329a]

Had the exact same problem with my car. From now on I'm only buying original sensors. Keep up the good work

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Problem is, manufacturers often decide your car/bikes obsolete at 15 years old. So you end up going down part number wormholes to get what you need.

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Always interesting videos Jim 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@kevinallen4052]

Well done and very interesting.

[@dalemeadows225]

Another good result Jim 🙌

[@dbx3197]

The skill is knowing when only OEM will do. Your diagnostic skills are really exceptional. The biking version of Mend It Mark. Not really my type of bike but what a beast.

[@mikesp11]

Thanks

[@GordonHunter]

Thank You

[@big500]

As someone that knew Jim many years ago… I’d just like to say he was, and probably still is a pretty handy rider. Not a bad mechanic either😈😈👍

[@jbsworkshop]

Good find,persistence is key,you know you have the skills & equipment. I always find genuine parts for any engine management issues works best,handy to check results like you did though & to only be a slightly out is crazy

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Watching you work on modern bikes has taught me two things. One, you´re a bit of a genius. Two, modern bikes are rubbish. I will take a bike up to the early 2000´s with carbs all day long. These are just motorcycles for crying out loud. That level of complexity is absurd. Just saying. Thanks again for the brilliant content.

[@grahamx8623]

You're bang on with that. The wife's just got a 2021 VW Golf, it's trying to run her life for her. Honestly, you've got to try it to believe....

[@leondavibe]

sure it nice if they work in the end, its the ride to get there for me , most of your videos have an element of teach a man to fish even if lots of them go over our heads, so no we are all here for the journy

[@brian623]

Fantastic channel wealth of knowledge worth a pot of gold

[@flibbertigibbet6200]

Look forward to your videos lol Nice end to the week. I had an Xdiavel s V Twin 1256cc and can agree with the F Bombs when riding. The Torque on them is just instant. I have a ZH2 now and although Supercharged just doesn't have that instant bite which makes you laugh, although is frighteningly fast. Happy New yr fella.

[@xl447]

Nice to close this case study Jim. It's not until you're working with these systems / autoelectrics, you appreciate the sensitivity and consequences of values out of plausible range.

[@PatrickHostler]

Really interesting little project this, and seems to highlight sticking to original factory spares (despite cost) Great bikes, I’ve just bought an XDiavel S, and I adore it… bonkers power/torque, but beautifully comfortable.

[@weekendmodeller2740]

That was fun for me to watch, I do not have these kind of issues on my bike.

[@williamlorimer060867]

Happy new year Jim🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@cryptic_badger795]

Happy New Year.....looking forward to many great videos in 2025!!

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Happy new year!

[@Nialsy999]

I had a 2011 Diavel. Most problematic bike I have ever had. But it was amazing to ride. Loved it. If only it had been made by the Japanese.

[@kenwood9401]

Happy New Year bud hope you had a good one sorry about the knee great content keep up the good work

[@Shimmy_details]

Love the video Jimbo, greetings from a viewer in Denmark

[@hmallett]

Very disappointing. No phone interruptions. No compressor interruptions. 😂 Good work.

[@nodshred1]

Really interesting 3 part vid, well done. Gorgeous looking bike !

[@nigelsride]

Brilliant Jim 👏 💪 you do crack me up. I just love your videos

[@blastingweevil2968]

hope you had a great xmas all the best for the new year

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Same to you :)

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Fabulous as usual 😊

[@subpardave2727]

Jim, i know you joked about it being your bike reviews - but would actually be damn interesting in hearing what you thought, especially as you get to see the guts and reliability of many models.

[@vladzero391]

Yep, that's right Ducati needs genuine Ducati spares...kind of Italian magic :) BTW your review could be more interesting than others as far as you can tell something about maintenance.

[@georgemorrison6689]

Great job well done to you, enjoy watching your stuff

[@nickvinten7803]

Another excellent video 👌🤘 That camera overlay gonna get you busted in jig time 🤭🤭

[@mattbohl2943]

The windscreens I feel on the new bikes are made for really short people

[@Nicknofish]

Great job. Happy New Year. Cheers.

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Thanks, you too!

[@joelfildes5544]

All the best arkid,u da man !

[@andyjrichie6709]

😊 great results, Happy new year 😊

[@295walk]

Happy new year looking forward to more quality videos this bike sounds crisp.

[@mickibbett2120]

Cheers Jim, Happy New Year. Best 73

[@laurencehastings7473]

Happy New Year. Lovely looking machine.

[@Robbiemoto]

Great job. Been a subscriber a while but never commented. About time I did 😁. Happy new year.

[@cecilwilson5442]

Now it's not a motorbike mechanic it's a motorbike technician, with all the bloody electronics,, the bodywork is time consuming 😮,, from Northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️ great respect for the videos,, some kit required for your work,,🧐

[@leavemyrightsalone]

Genius does it again.

[@shutinyanks]

wow that's some machine

[@kevkfz5226]

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper version of the Exhaust gas (air fuel ratio) analyser available. Thats an amazing tool and take the guess work out of a real pain of the job. Not so bad on a Ducati or Guzzi but its mare on the IL4. Also when there are other issues it pins things down.

[@ianmurray3820]

Was wondering how a 5 volt signal can damage anything .! But then I assume these things are just pressure sensitive rheostats with some kind of wiper that wares out with use , hence both going at the same time.!?…. Electronics.!!😱….. great vid as usual…💪🏻

[@yveslegh]

Nice! Happy New year 2025

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Same to you!

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Who knew with such small dif in electrict volt it stop bike workin right

[@PaulMappud]

Absolutely loathe those rear fender things, apart from that and the back rest that's a great looking machine...

[@marksmallman4572]

Just bought a 2024 Triumph Trident 660, first mod ,remove the horrible number plate holder and installed a tail tidy, much better!

[@diholli]

God job. What helmet do you wear?

[@notsohairybiker]

Jim, what 360 are you using and what GPS addon? Thanks.

[@seanbond1556]

The beagle got it in episode one you just didnt listen and over complicated it 😅

[@MarkLaycock]

You been to barbers today Jim?? Tidy haircut😂

[@merlinjones2660]

Brilliant video love to hear you with same enthusiasm , i have for different type of propulsion system ( space travel) ( yes also some effing and jeffing ) went on, to educate the next generation, as you are aware, some of them, one thinks is there any light bulbs on in there grey matter ??? or are thy just a functioning half wit , yes taking the mick is half the fun or we would all be bald trying to educate some of them ,???

[@neill1200]

I can see your address in Dursley on that invoice

[@MichaelParkinson-c4s]

I'm sure the designer loves it but those things are ugly.

[@cralee6892]

I prefer your bike reviews ,,,no talking bollocks 😂

[@Adikxx]

Not as simple as you thought ? You've just fixed it, i don't understand the title of this video..

[@thetonetosser]

Happy new year Jim from Downunder.🦘🐍🕷 Looking forward to this years problem solving. All the best.
