This will show you how to maintain your clutch system. www.amazon.com... You would think MityVac would sponsor me. I have sold so many of these for them. www.amazon.com...
This is probably one of the better detailed maintenance videos I've seen in quite some time. I'm bringing my 2012 848 Evo home in two weeks and your videos are giving me a clear knowledge of exactly how I'll be approaching my initial maintenance overhaul. Thanks man
Great video and commentary. I'm doing my 899 Panigale this weekend. Thanks! My father-in-law is the CEO of Murphy Medical Center there. I love Murphy NC.
Can he get me a job? LoL... I live on the mountain behind the hospital. Not much work for PACS Admins anymore. I am sure he knows who I am... I have the Christmas light show. I think I have an 899 Clutch and brake video out here.
HA for free labor you can film whatever you want with my bike. I don't even own a Duc but i still like watching your vids, always end up learning a trick or two :P
I've just changed my clutch line and drained the clutch slave as much as possible, and its taking forever to bleed the line ,still going ,also my brake fluid is green but its clear
Did this procedure today on my 749. Worked great, much better feel in the clutch now. Great video. I'll be riding Murphy with USDesmo, maybe our paths will cross
I performed this service on my 848evo the other day, but when I pulled the slave cylinder off, it did not have that red seal, but rather a plastic bushing that rides on the push rod. Thought that was interesting.
The manual tells you to have your clutch fluid reservoir at the minimum when you have a new clutch as your clutch wears the push rod moves over to the left and pushes the slave piston back into the slave cylinder pushing the fluid back up to the reservoir
Wow. Great vod ever with detail explain. I subscribed months ago and told my riding friends aleay. I have 899 and feel need to follow your way. Know your bike first, then run! I felt this from your great VODs. What size of allen wrench is used when you disengaged slave cylinder? I do want to clean that with this vod.
@@jimccc9467 That is a long ways from Murphy, NC just to get belts. You could knock it out yourselt for about 300.00 and four hours. 300.00 would more than cover the cost of belts and tools. JPDiag would reset your ECU service light.
@@RideWNC hey off topic. Just doing my belts and valves and noticed a very dirty Airbox, is there any easy way to remove it? Do throttle bodies have to be removed with it. Not really sure how it got so dirty in there, all the connections seemed sealed. Thanks.
Hey Mike! I heard on one of you videos that you like to have different bikes 🏍 to shoot videos on. I have a 2016 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak. I live in Kernersville NC, don't know how far we are, but I will help you if you want. Very good content!!
Lol! I am a long ways away. I placed some servers i a data center in Kernersville...It was about a four four drive home leaving a midnight in a Corvette. I am in the actual western NC. More than two hours west of Asheville.
Always read the cap. Every bike you will ever own will have the proper fluid printed on the OEM cap. This is a main reason you should never replace the OEM cap with any of that bling crap.
@@joelp1897 I personally would drain the system and flush it two or three times with new DOT4 to make sure that whatever might be in there is gone, then bleed it with DOT4. You should be able to do it with one pint of DOT4.
Did not work for me. My res stays full and nothing is coming through, even though lines are clean. Could my master cylinder gone bad? It’s only been 14k miles
Hi my 01 ST4 fluid turned the same black after a day in traffic due to the heat. The fluid has only 2500 miles on it. I'm the second owner and bike was fully serviced when I picked it up from Richmond Superbike. When I do the service this week is there a DOT 4 fluid that handles heat better then others or I will be just changing out the fluid more often with the NC heat coming soon .Thanks
Motul RBF600 - But it is way too expensive to replace once a year. Replace the OEM clutch line with a Galfer. While you are at it, do the fron brake lines with Galfer. You will be surprised at the difference. Getting rid of the brake line going over the fender makes the bike look better, also.
Thanks the break lines were already switched to Galfer prior to purchase. I will pick up the Motul. Joey at Richmond Superbike had moved the line as well clean look.
I don't think the clutch line is breaking down, I think the clutch line is too close to the engine heat. The heat is destroying the fluid... Ducati usually installs a decent braided line on most bikes. On the Superbikes with the full fairing, it is impossible to move the clutch line away from heat. A little better on a Monster.
So I emptied the clutch reservoir, and drained the system....... now I am unable to pull new fluid through the system using the mityvac on the slave cylinder. No fluid has emptied out of the reservoir and nothing pulls out of the slave cylinder. Any suggestions?? I also have no grab or anything on the clutch lever. It has no resistance at all.
Do you need to remove the clutch fluid in order to remove the slave cylinder cap or is it possible to remove the slave cylinder cap with fluid in the system?
