I show you how to adjust the chain on the Streetfighter V4. It's very easy and I go step by step. This is critical maintenance and by doing it yourself, you know it's done right and it'll save you money as well. In the US, oil changes and maintenance like this WILL NOT hurt your warranty. #ducati #motorcycle #motorcyclelife #losangeles

Thank you for the hard work you do and the time you spend on making your videos

The weather where I live, Scotland, is not exactly the same as the climate in Southern California! Having been there, I sure wish it was!! I use a Scottoiler automatic chain lube, it works a treat, keeps the chain well lubed, reduces the need for adjustment and extends the life of the chain. Great piece of kit!

Nice. I use DuPont’s chain lube/cleaner and it’s great for chains out here that generally don’t get wet or dirty. It’s quick, doesn’t fling or make a mess, and it’s only needed every 500 miles or so. Scotland might not have Southern CA weather, but it’s an amazing place for sure!

Hi, Thanks for taking your time in making videos for us. What products did you use to clean & lubricate the chain? Thank you! Illinois, USA

@Cyclingwithgasoline 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I’ve been using DuPont’s “chain saver, self cleaning dry aerosol” on all my bike chains. I’m in Southern CA, so they never get wet or dirty, so this cleans and lubes them at once. Really good stuff. Clean film, no fling, by far the best chain lube I’ve used. If the chain ever does get dirty from water or bad roads, just use a chain cleaner first (I’ve used Motul C1 for that).

A word to the wise, final drive chains always have high/low or tight & loose spots, even shortly after install and a couple hundred miles on them. What is one to do then?? Rotate the wheel in order to find a tight spot and place it swingarm center in most cases, and make your adjustment.

@Cyclingwithgasoline 6 месяцев назад

I rotated it several times when I initially measured. In my experience with relatively new chains, there’s almost never meaningful high/low spots, which was the case here.

I can change my oil and filter too but do you reset the due for service light?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 14 дней назад

@@dukatista657 I answered that in the video. You need to take it to a dealer and have them turn it off for you. Usually like a $50 charge. There are handheld units you can buy that will turn it off, too (and do a lot of other things). That said, having the little service light on the dash doesn’t hurt anything and it doesn’t “need” to be turned off.

Where do you get your 0.94" from mate? In all the documents I have seen the figure is 0.70-0.78 in or 18-20mm. This is actually a significant diffence on a high performance motorcycle. They also specifically say the bike must be on the side stand when measuring, where as you treat it as almost an afterthought. Are these differences due to the age of the bikes or the country or do Ducati change them according to which way the wind might blow that week?

@Cyclingwithgasoline Месяц назад

I got this directly from the manual. And on these bikes, the measurements rarely change when put on the side stand, but I did recheck on the stand and it didn’t move 👍

@michaeltelemachus5112 Месяц назад

@@Cyclingwithgasoline What year is the bike, and is the manual you are using for that year?

@Cyclingwithgasoline Месяц назад

@@michaeltelemachus5112 It’s a 22 and the manual came with the bike. The measurements are also on a sticker on the swing arm.

@michaeltelemachus5112 Месяц назад

@@Cyclingwithgasoline That might explain it then as mine is a 23. Thank you.

@Cyclingwithgasoline Месяц назад

Which pitbull stand is that? do i need a large hub or small hub?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 16 дней назад

@@xjado321 My SF V4 is a 2022 and the rear stand (that I’ve had for a couple of years) is part# F0099-211 and the pin is 1098L. Works perfectly on the left side of the bike.

@Cyclingwithgasoline 16 дней назад

@@xjado321 Keep in mind that this is an older stand, so the tire is well off the ground, but not enough for some tire warmers if you want to use them for the track. That higher stand is part# F0109-000, but it’s not always listed on their site. If not, just call and they can usually get it ordered. For me, the older stand has always been perfect for maintenance and again gets the tire well off the ground

@joshuamurray86 7 месяцев назад

Although the difference is minor, you should be on the kickstand to measure slack, not on a rear stand.

@Cyclingwithgasoline 7 месяцев назад

I did second measurement on the kickstand and it hadn’t changed.

@dananolan7847 6 месяцев назад

correct. BTW the funny shaped tool with the handle is commonly referred to as a "spanner wrench", these types of tools are also used for adjusting rear shock preload.
