    • @DesmoHead
      @DesmoHead 3 месяца назад

      Hi. The benefit is that this slave cylinder has got more linear characteristics so the clutch operation is smoother. As your issue: what does "temperature 4 bar" mean? Bar is for pressure. The root cause of your clutch behaviour needs service. Could be old clutch fluid with lot of moisture and air trapped, clutch master or slave cylinder worn out etc. Cannot tell without check of the system. Clutch lever doesn't need to be replaced for sure: it's just a piece of metal.

    Hello there & thank you for your video! It happens for me to have the exact same brand of charging base, whilst I have also a similar bracket. The Garmin wiring info is very useful. I was wondering though if it's possible to use the USB cable with the Ducati adapter for giving power to the charging stand.. And also how did you mount the base to the bracket without using the mounting tools? I agree that the distance will be long but this isn't it also limiting the movement if you want to adjust it? Thank you for time and video 😊

    • @DesmoHead
      @DesmoHead 7 месяцев назад

      Hello. First check the operation voltage of your charging base. The USB output gives you 5V while the power adapter socket (below the lower right corner of the instrument cluster) gives you 12V. For fixing the base I used the aluminium cylinder I showed in the video. There is a threaded hole in the middle of it and I used the base screw that holds the clamp to fix it to the cylinder. To screw it in I needed to remove the four screws that hold the damping element of the charger on its back just to get access to the screw head that fixes the charger to the aluminium cylinder. I also used strong threadfix to avoid any unnecessary movement due to any load or vibration. For adjustment I use the horizontal position so no need to rotate the charger base (but it is possible since the screw to the aluminium cylinder allows it) and for tilting the cylinder screws on its side make it possible.

    I just did my second fork oil change on my 2016 MTS 1200E and your tips on not removing the tank and how to disassemble the electronic left fork cap worked perfectly - THANKS AGAIN! Please forgive the long comment, but I have one question and one tip that I learned. QUESTION: after your reinstallation, how easy was it for you to slide your axle in? I found that if I align the top fork cap height I struggle with the axle, but if I adjust the right passive fork to make the axle slide in easily it’s ~2.5mm lower than the left leg. I decided to go with the fork height per the manual which is +/- 0.1mm and as you stated is almost impossible to measure from the lower yoke. TIP: this time I also removed the damping cartridges on both legs to give everything a much needed internal clean. You can remove them using a long 8mm allen/hex socket at the bottom of each leg. When reassembling it’s important to note the oblong cutout inside the bottom of each stantion. You have to rotate the damping cartridge to seat it properly in the cutout which prevents it from turning when you reinstall the retaining bolt. If you don’t seat it properly, you won’t have full range on your preload (ask me how I know). When reassembling the torque setting for the bottom cartridge bolt is 30 Nm. Overall it wasn’t too difficult and worth while you’re there.

    • @DesmoHead
      @DesmoHead 7 месяцев назад

      Thank you for the tip. I take it. :-) As for your question: I haven't experienced such a situation. The length should be the same and the front axle should slide in easily. Did you experienced it only for your second fork oil change or also for the first? There are some items inside the fork that can easily be installed upside down and could create such problem. One example: if you check this video ruclips.net/video/iCgauBiEnGQ/видео.html please see the position of the black spacer at 8:30 during disassembly. And at 24:35 it can be seen that during the assembly it was put back in upside down position. According to the comments they discovered and fixed it. Are you sure that you put back all components in a proper position?

    • @robertswaringen5663
      @robertswaringen5663 7 месяцев назад

      @@DesmoHead Thank you for the quick reply and I did not consider that. I experienced the axle misalignment each time. Also interestingly when I had no preload on the right fork (full CCW) the axle was roughly 2.5 mm off, but with full preload (full clockwise) it was only 1 mm off. On both stalls the black collar is oriented correctly, but on the second reinstall I cannot tell in my photo which way the white plastic collar is oriented. I do remember it coming off, but thought it only fit one way. Easy enough to pull the right fork so I will disassemble everything and double check. That also might explain why I only get ~9.7 full turns on the preload nut vs a full 10 turns. Thank you very much!!!

      Hello. You don't need any spacer: there are two pins for the plastic cover in which you turn the two screws. Just throw that foam simply away. You might remove the corroded parts of the water pump cover and paint it with some proper paint that is not visible under the cover to protect the metal surface. Or replace it but it has got some more serious cost effect. This is an unfortunate design failure that cannot be seen until the corrosion extends over the cover. The tightening torque of the two plastic cover screws is 5Nm.

      Hello. Thanks for your feedback. You're right in the way that the weight load can be smoother when the suspension is active. However, the service manual does not say that the ignition needs to be switched on. That movement is to make the shaft to settle in the right loaded position by the weight of the bike. But I admit that sometimes even the factory manual I have contains funny things. ;-)

What I can put down here is the following: 1.: Remove the seat. 2.: Remove the rear LH side body panel. 3.: Remove the seat latch. 4.: Remove the retaining bracket of the preload control. 5.: Disconnect the rear shock absorber preload cable connector and rear shock absorber adjuster cable. 6.: Unscrew the upper and lower screws of the shock absorber. 7.: Then slide the rear shock absorber out with its electronic preload tube. I hope it helps.

    Good tip/idea. Before you fit the belly pan it is worth filling with oil and running the engine to check for leaks around the filter or bung base.

    Hi, Thank you for the video. You said run the bike up to allow the fans to kick in - is that on the side stand? also if any more coolant is needed in the expansion tank is that checked on the side stand when cold? Thank you

    • @DesmoHead
      @DesmoHead 9 месяцев назад

      Hi. The cooling system is a closed circuit so it doesn't matter if the bike is on the side stand or on a centre stand. As for the expansion tank it's practically the same situation: there is a range between min. and max. so you doesn't fail if you refill it either with the bike on the sidestand or the centre stand. But of course the most accurate level check is on the centre stand.

    Part of preventative maintenance here is to add a solution to your fuel for any long periods of time where the bike will be sat. I use Motorex ethanol treatment due to modern fuel having high ethanol content which can degrade parts in the fuel tank. I've had 3 multistradas and used this solution in all 3 and never had an issue after my first fuel sender failure.

    Screw all that. Chop the wires, put a resistor between the 2 wires and abandon the piece of shit sensor in the tank. Your bike will always read the same, but at least you wont have to change the sensor every 2k miles. Its a bike, NOT a car. Wanna know how much fuels in it? Open the tank cap thats literally under your nose and look, or wobble the bike back and forth and listen. I road dirtbikes for decades, guess what no dirtbike has EVER had? A fuel guage display. Never ran out of gas one single time.

      In a case I would not need a fuel level indication I might do this. But this video is for another solution and let the others choose what they want to screw. ;-)

      Same gauge supplier I suppose. It is a strange design to me and I'm pretty much sure that during the development there was no real validation to meet these issues during an aging test or similar load. But in exchange it is cheap...or cheaper than a fully validated one. 😝
