Ducati Multistrada 1200 - Chain Cleaning and Adjustment 

I posted this video almost 6 and a half years ago, and I'm amazed that I still get regular comments lol. I miss my Multistrada...

I'm new to the multistrada, my chain needs adjustment. This is one of the best maintenance videos I've ever seen. You are a natural, calm and very well explained. Thank you. Time to adjust mine 👍

Just got my 2013 mts today. cleaned and lubed the chain and read the manual about chain tensioning. Your video is the first youtube one i watched and it was perfect. Really clear description of the tools and their use. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Amazing tips! And many thanks for the video. You did well to inform about things like not tightening one bolt all the way, using cardboard, keeping the splash guard on in winter weather etc. 👍

I’m a new Multistrada owner and I’m doing my first chain adjustment. This was quite helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Excellent and clear instructions that worked perfectly.

I pick my Ducati Multistrada Enduro up from the dealers on Friday, never owned a Ducati and needed to know if there's any difference in chain maintenance compared to my Kawasaki Z10r. Excellent detailed review, just what I searched for. Many thanks for sharing, ATB from England 👌🏼

Definitely helped. Thanks for taking the time to make, edit & post that. Well done.

Thanks so much. I was looking at a Multistrada today. Glad I found this site. Cheers

Great instructions...I love how you included packing the tools away at the end 😁👍

just watched your vid and tightened my chain. I was gonna have the dealer do it until I found this vid. Thanks so much!!

Dude...great video. You did awesome and explained it well for a noob to pick up and go. Thanks!

Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to record it.

Fantastic mate! Such a great video with clear and thorough instruction!

I have my Multistrada for a couple of months now and I'm still amazed on how everything is so different from other bikes... From turning it on to adjust it's chain.

Great job, I think you did fine on the video, no reason to apologize it was very well done and the angles were spot on and it was all very helpful.. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for an excellent, well narrated video. Nicely done

Nice and well done video. Really helpful, thank you for taking the time and making it. Cheers!!

Great great vidéo. Very useful. Thanks ton speak slowly. I’m french and understood everything. I feel now confortable to adjust the chain of my MTS by myself. Thanks again

Outstanding video. Tightened the chain on my Panigale using it as a guide. Cheers!

Great vid! I Like your clear, encouraging, methodical way. It creates the confidence to complete this!

Thank you. I use this video every time I tighten my chain on my Pikes Peak

Thanks for the video. I needed a refresher on the procedure.

Thanks man. Exactly what I was looking for. Going to get cracking on it tomorrow.

Fabulous. Thanks for posting this. Helped me a lot!

A great video, I checked my chain and found the tool kit. I didn’t find the measuring device, but it looks like the chain is a little loose. Thank you. Never apologize for a good presentation.

You did a great job! Thank You.

great video, very helpful - thanks!

Complimenti per il video , grazie per le informazioni , sei stato bravo .

thx! nice "how to" video that helped me a lot!

Great video many thanks from Turkey!^^

This helped me take the anxiety out of doing this job. Completed now. Thanks. The whole job can be done with just the tools Ducati provides, but it adds considerable time to the job. AT the very least, making sure to have a socket set with a #10 hex head will make this go a hell of a lot faster. I will also be purchasing a torque wrench. I am sure it is overkill, but adds that piece of mind. Thanks again.

Only just found this, have a 2012 multi, one thing have been told it should be urban and solo in ride mode as that is the highest setting, but still loved it, thanks and buy another.

thanks for the upload. very useful.

Great video, thanks for sharing mate.

thank you very much! very good tuto, perfect job!!

Great help, Cheers from Australia. couple of hours, next time I will be quicker.

nice little tutorial, very clear and well done. thank you.

Just what i needed... Thanks

I liked your video. I own 3x bikes all without a chain. This puts me off chain bikes cause I've gotten lazy.

Thank you. Great video.

Really good to share with us.. Thanks a lot..

Very helpful, thank you.

Thank you! Very clear tutorial

Informative video. I would also rotate the wheel and recheck chain tightness at several points.

thanks for your explanation!

That's was very helpful! Cheers

Very helpful. Thanks a lot.

Really helpful video - thanks! The manual isn't very helpful so thanks for taking the time.

Thank you, my friend. You're natural! Save me a lot of concerns. Hope you now have a nicer bike, if that's possible 😅

Amazing tutorial 👍

Thanks a lot for sharing! Best 👍🏼

Well done, thank you!

Great video, thanks a lot

Great video, thanks. I checked this out as my Monster 1200 chain looked a little slack. The method of checking tension on mine is different though. Not checked it since i bought it 3 years ago 😬, presumed the dealer did it as it’s been in quite a few times 😪. On mine you have to find the tightest point and push down. It has to be approx. 32mm from the bottom of the swing arm to the centre of the chain pins. I’ve not checked my tool kit to see if I have the tools you have. Gonna sort it tomorrow.

Thank you for the video! I adjusted the chain of my Diavel thanks to you!

great video. Thanks.

Thank you for this 😊

Thanks for the great video really helpful

THX.GREAT INSTRUCTIONS.

Good stuff! I got mine 2nd hand so realised that I am missing the whole tool kit under the seat. Just a mention that using kerosene is better than using WD40. Especially if you are using O-ring or X-ring chain.
