My Ducati Hypermotard Oil Change 

Great video! Will start doing my own oil changes now.

Hello! I am a new owner of a Hyper and i find your videos very informative and made with love - quality stuff! Regards from Slovenia, safe riding!!

This channel is very informative, very detail information..

Love your Hyper, had a Streetfighter 1098, now planned Ng to buy the 950 RVE,..can't wait to be a hooligan 🤪👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I believe there is also an oil mesh filter behind that hex bolt on the RHS that needs to be cleaned thx

Great vids and great channel, appreciate you doing these as it is impossible to find the torque specs online, did you end up buying the service manual?

This is what I'm planning to upgrade to from a KTM Duke 690 . I just found the perfect place to get to know the bike pre-owned .

Like you I was one of the first to get the new hypermotard, the downside, not much info available. All that I can find is for the previous generation 939 that uses a different computer. Not sure that the amazon products used on the 939 work on the 950.

I got the important info about the torch of 11Nm for the oil filter and 20 Nm for the screw cap. I couldn't find it in my standard manual

Do you have any videos of your dirt bike days? You mention them a lot in some of your videos? Great videos and beautiful bike brother?

Hey man, love the videos! Quick question, I just took in my hypermotard 821 for an annual service. I recently put on a competition Werks slip on exhaust and I went for a ride. When I got back the oil light was on and I leaned the bike and couldn’t see any oil in the gas eye. Do you have any suggestions on what it could be? Is it from maybe the slip on?

Great video! I have an MTS 950 with the same engine, and this is just what I needed. Incidentally what size cap did you buy to torque on your filter? Is the size as simple as measuring the diameter of the filter itself?

you know Im probably as careful about machinery as you are, true still not a bad idea to half fill the filter. You might find this interesting. Im using a 0w-40 in my air cooled Ducati dry clutch 904cc. This is fully synthetic Castrol titanium edge made in Germany About 9$ per quart. I live in Seattle where temps are not high when I ride. I believe you need very light viscosity at cold startup. A 0w-40 is somewhat new to most people as it really is more of a true 20-30 weight somewhere in the middle. I dont need addatives as it would for the dry clutch over a wet clutch. The way I look at it is, changing the oil more frequently is preferable to do so when it breaks down the viscosity thats needed and wont denegrate . So I have the best of both worlds since the addative they tell us that a 0w really becomes a 40w at full temp, but for how long ? My my newer Mazda Miata requires 0w-20, that must be that with tight tollerances and high compression, they want that super thin oil to move its way through the engine like water. I know you must keep that low viscosity oil somewhat fresh with 3-4 k oil change intervals strictly adhered to. Now for an air cooled Ducati. they mention 15w-50, I guess in a hotter climate that just fine, but that Motoul cost is so high. What do you think is the true weight of that oil with only the modifiers bringing it up to the full 50w at temp ? maybe 30w ? and when it denigrates , what does the viscosity at temp turn into ? So far so good with this 0w-40 , I dont race around at speed anymore, and the Germans dont make cheap stuff. This Castrol was meant for BMW and Mercedes. Some Castrol titanium edge oils dont say made in Germany or Belgium. Just something to think about. When you do alot of research, they let some judge make the legal decision, that as long as a synthetic oil is called full synthetic, all it really needs to be called that is somewhere between 10-20 % synthetic ingredients. Maybe they mean esters. A real good synthetic I believe is the Amzoil product.

my thoughts on filling oil filter with some oil. You do believe your engine parts dont really drain off all the oil film on them right ? Next, how fast do you think oil is pumped through the filter once the engine is started, maybe one second ? Do you believe the internals are bone dry or still lubricated, unless you previously dis assembled the whole engine and took solvent to rinse down any oil film left on all parts ? Im 64 and owned about 46 motorcycles , loss count of how many cars also. Rebuilt my own engine in bikes and cars. So I see the wear on these engines and never saw bearing or ring wear caused be any engine starved for oil deprivation during the after oil change procedure. Just something to consider.

I bought oil, a filter and both washers, for both bolts to do my 500 mile oil change (you said 600, and i was told 500,..??). Ducati dealership said i'd have to bring the bike in to have a light re-set (i'll be checking to see if i can do that myself as well).

Quantity of oil 3.4 with filter and 3.2 without filter also grade 15w50?

Size of the tools for both drain bolts?

hello good, I have changed the oil of my hypermotard watching your video, you can tell me how to reset the service notice, or recommend a device with which I can do it? Thanks a greeting ✊🏿✊🏿

Do you know when you give an oil service how can you reset the oil service meter from the dasboard ? Thanks

Hello good, could you tell me a place where you can buy the repair manual for the hypermotard 950? Thank you very much greetings.

thanks but I need a help, In work on my own bikes and can't afford a ducati 400 dollar oil change. I don't want to look at the engine light for the rest of my life. Please help, is there a way to reset it without going to the dealer?

Hey, what size crush washers do you use for your drain plug?

Howmany miles do you have on your hyper? Just got mine back from the 9000 miles service.

Hi, just quick question, does it need to reset service on the dashboard? I mean, on KTM duke after changing oil, we need to reset the service maintenance…

So you do go to Ducati dealer to get that dreaded service light turned-off, luckily I know someone at dealership close to me, do they charge you for this?

What's the drain bolt type/size tool fitting?

How did you reset the service light ?

How did you reset the service light on the dash?

Do you pour all four bottles in it ??

Actually oil and oil filter change is every 12 months for my demo Monster 821. Should be the same for yours.

You took out that drain plug and then said 10 seconds later that you’re not gonna mess with it. Huh???

Full OCD oil change.
