changing the oil on a 2006 ducati 620. first oil change since the initial 600 mile service. this process is the same as many other Monsters, such as 800, 1000, 696 796 and so on.
@@ducatinyc Hey I am looking to change the oil on my 06 620 dark this weekend. The Ducati manufacturer recommends Shell Advance but is it okay if I use other easier to purchase brands like Castrol or Mobil 1 10w40?
+Motor Cycles Thank you! :) I do have a toolbox and plenty of tools and try to do all of the work myself, except for the adjusting valves and other more major stuff. Thank you for watching!
You did not clean the oil screen (oil sensor)? This is an additional filter an the oil filter... Mostly there is a lot of metal pieces in this filter, so you should take this out as well en clean it!
Yes, there are a few things i could have done better and different with this oil change. However, this was done 2 months after I got my moto license and first bike, so I think I did good :) Also, some of the metal shavings get magnetized to the oil cap thought and i did wipe those off.
6,000 miles or 12 months...whichever comes soonest my friend. Not early, way late actually as even the finest full syn oils will degrade quite quickly after just 12 months even with sparing use.
1-2k miles eh? seems sooo often. no? i'm looking forward to changing the oil again as i feel i will do a much better and thorough job second time around.
Vassili Shishkin Maybe, but the guy who suggested this was the owner before me. He is a certified bike mechanic who really knew what he was doing with it. A 2002 with 11k miles and the bike is in like new condition. So for me…I plan to follow his lead and continue what he was doing :) Also, he suggested Motul for everything fluids. The oil is a synthetic Motul 7100 10W-40 4T. Most owners who take maintenance seriously seem to be ok with a few extra $$ on synthetic. Mine is Monster, 2002 M750 Dark.
bonogun makes sense. nothing but the best for my precious little Monster :) I just hit 5000 miles on my 06 620 - another thousand and its time for 6000 mile checkup, should be fun - right before my cross country ride.
I’ve been watching all of your vids because first.... i own a Ducati Monster 800i.e. and I fu**ing love that thing! Then I love NYC and you combined those things! So basically the perfect channel for me:-)! Do you have Insta or can i text you a few pictures of my black beauty, I totally modified it, and I think you’d like her too. Cheers
Markus Rubach Yea, i've seen some people do that, yet others do not. I've done a few oil changes where I didn't and one that I did, not sure what the big difference is. Perhaps if you add a little to the oil filter before installing you don't have to add as much when you fill it up? Thank you much for watching!
Not really required BUT if you don’t, carefully watch and add as required after starting. Check and double check to make sure level is good and all air is out of filter. Come to think of it mAnual should tell you quantity of oil with and without filter. Personally I change filter every oil change. It’s not a big deal and only a few bucks. Cheers, nice vid
+B Gicu The highest speed i've hit was 133mph - it would not go any faster, held that for about 30 seconds. But I"m not 100% if my speedometer is 100% correct.
Hi, do you ever notice your clutch slipping when you change up riding aggressively? It never slips apart from when I pin it and change at 10k rpm from 1st to second. I was thinking it could maybe be the oil used? Shell ultra is apparently what is recommended. Or is it just the nature of the APCT slipper clucth? Cheers
+DannyRed I have noticed that, actually. I never thought it might have anything to do with the oil though - but maybe you're right. I though the clutch slipping was just due to me abusing it and perhaps the clutch plates needed to be swapped out. Shell Ultra, I will take a note and check it out next time. Thank you!
+Ducati NYC Vlog OMG, I get about 75-80km with 6 liters, i think the problem is with injection, tomorrow i wil go to service to test the injection, and about speed my was 200km/h, but not top :D
Ducati NYC Vlog I used to work as a grease monkey when I was younger, we'd always have tons of cardboard around for the more difficult cases. Its a quick and cheap way to guide the oil where you want it and customers really appreciated not having their cars smell like crap for a week because there was oil on the headers :)
Yep, you're totally right - some noob stuff. i dont think hand tightening is tight enough. I've been using K+N filters since so I can tighten it with a socket wrench.
ive been using too K&N filters twice on my 10' 696 but the second time the filter did not fit. I searched on the internet and there where many people with 696 that had the same issue with K&N filters.
