Basic Oil Change - 2007 Ducati Monster S4RS 

I have a 2007 s2r1000 which is basically the air cooled version of this bike. It's not the most comfortable for the passenger but my wife and I have done 3 hours straight and she doesn't complain much about it. However if your wife is tall like 5'7 or more she won't enjoy the riding position. Monsters are relatively "small" bikes

yes it's very choppy at low revs. but it's a very comfortable bike actually. basic riding position.

thank you Ken, just finished to watch the other Monster videos i see you also have a couple of other good toys in the garage...very good taste :)

haha thank you!

Blake Graham that's actually a myth. and provides no real benefit. research it.

Blake Graham also what you said does not even make sense. how will a prefilled oil filter pump oil to where it needs to go? it has no mechanism to do that. its job is to catch flowing oil from the sump and filter it. the prefilling logic essentially is to put oil in it before the surge of new oil comes...it didn't make a difference at pre lubricating the engine if thats what youre trying to accomplish. luckily for most people an oil change means the motor is not completely dry which is why the prefilling doesnt add any benefit just OCD points.

Because the filter is before the bearings. The oil is sucked from the sump to pump and then goes to filter and goes to the bearings. If the filter is empty, it takes a moment to fill it before the oil gets to the bearings. :)

You don't fully drain the engine of oil during a simple oil change. there's still oil in there. I've rebuilt motorcycle engines and I don't pre-fill oil filters, some oil filters cannot be pre-filled because they are only a filter element not a traditional canister like this one so how does this logic apply to that? The practice is a myth but if it helps you mind at ease then go for it.

walk me through prefilling the oil filter element for a ducati panigale. its not a canister...so should i dip the filter element in oil? this myth is silly.

+Miguel Emmanuel you can but I didn't for this oil change.

@@motoken Every 15.000 miles

Haha it's like you commented without watching the video! Nice.

@@motoken I mean not only oil change. What about air filter, belts , brakes ?
