    Engine oil and transmission oil are the same thing on this bike as they are shared. As long as you use the correct motor oil and filter it won't affect your warranty to change it yourself. I find the oil changes on my S1000rr to be very easy to do unlike some other bikes. I only had the break in service done at dealer and did everything else myself. Love the Taylor made exhaust, I might get it as well.

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for the feed back JSX! I didn't know the transmission and engine oil was one in the same on this bike..very cool.

    One day, I hope to purchase a brand new s1000rr. I just purchased my first liter bike. An 08 R1 with only 2176 mi. Had to jump on that deal. Traded in my 06 636 for 4k trade value and paid $3500 cash on top but i think it was worth it for a pretty much brand new barely ridden bike. Also dealer gave me brand new Q3s with the purchase.

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  6 лет назад +5

Clocks, side of bike( like shark) , akra exhaust, 4 months ago i bought my dream busa but i feel like i want s1000rr now😂 before busa i had only 125cc yamaha so i cant say much about bikes😅 but i believe you will get one of these bikes soon :)

    Mine supposedly had the traylor exhaust the muffler went bad I guess.He gave it to me in a box .I installed it and put a graves muffler on it looks great I'm glad I service mine myself, Its easy to work on.I put chain adjusters on mine .Along with other goodies I had to put radiator guards on it .Thought the the lack of protection in front of the oil cooler and radiator was the only flaw. I recommend getting those immediately. Hope you are still riding the 1299

      @TheDucatiPilot  4 года назад

      I heard the graves muffler are great products. Never seen one in person though. I agree that radiator guards are key. I actually didn't have any installed on my S1000RR. I was lucky I didn't have any overheating issues. I still have the 1299, but I will be "upgrading soon ;) Cheers!

      @TheDucatiPilot  5 лет назад +9

      That sounds VERY tempting man! I started on a CBR250R and only rode it for 3 months before I bought a CBR1000RR. The transition wasn't too bad to go from a 250 to a 1000cc. I bought this BMW S1000RR about 4 months after the CBR1000. The bike is controllable and safe, as long as you respect the power and have good throttle control. Good luck and ride safe!

    I think you should put the year of your bike in the description. There were a lot of changes between the 2014 and now old 2015 model. The quickshifter works great on the 2015+ models, the seat is comfortable and it's a generally better bike to ride than the 2014.
    When I watched this video and then saw your username, I first thought you were doing this because you wanted to rag on the BMW because you were a Honda guy.

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for the detailed and helpful comment Swampster. I really appreciate when you guys leave constructive feedback to help my channel improve. The quick-shifter on the 2014 works only in up mode, but on 2015+, it works up and down. I never sat on a 2015+ seat, but I take your word that it is more comfortable.
      Haha, I never rag on the S1000RR. It was my baby and I still miss it. I don't regret buying a 1299 Panigale though. Also, I've kept the Honda all through the years. Cheers!

      I love the look and the legend of Ducati's but the reality is that even from back in the days of the 851 and 888, I never found them a comfortable bike to ride for more than a couple of hours. Back then I was a Yamaha guy and loved my FZR1000-EXUP. It was as quick as the 888 but rideable for hours. Fast foward 20 years, compared to the rest of the supersports bikes I find S1000RR comfortable and very easy to ride.
      I like your videos with the couple of caveats I mentioned. Remember that someone 5 years from now will look at this already outdated video and think that it's about the current model. Put the model year in the title and mention it in the video but otherwise it's all good.

      I agree with you on the fact that Ducatis are not comfortable. I can only ride my 1299 for about 45-1hr before my back hurts and I need a break. Same goes for the tremendous heat that the bike puts out. I have gotten used to these "issues" riding the bike over the last 10 months or so. I love the power and the looks, thats what keeps that bike in my garage.

      Thanks man! It's great to have awesome Subs like you. It keeps me motivated to film and edit these videos, because it takes up a lot of time between work and stuff. Ride safe my friend!

      Not too bad. It is an older bike though, so less $ per month. Ride safe my Friend!

    I own a M5 F10 and was thinking about adding this to my Collection as my First Bike (I own a 2 stroke Yamaha) any Recommendations I’m 25 150lbs

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  4 года назад +1

      It's a lot of power for a first street bike. With your experience on a 2 stroke though, you should be fine as long as you respect the power and have throttle control. I went from riding a CBR250 for 90 days, to riding a CBR1000RR with no issues. Good Luck!

    I just got my 2011 BMW s1000rr and my insurance for full coverage w/ Geico is $34.33 a month and I’m 24, I’ve had one bike stolen and crashed my other one.

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  4 года назад

      That’s an awesome rate brother! I was thinking about changing over to Geico myself. A 2011 is considered an “older” bike nowadays, so that could be helping to lower your rate too. Ride safe and enjoy!

    Too bad you have to buy them brand new where I live because people absolutely trash them and make the bare minimum maintenance. The good thing is they're on the same prince range as all the similar models from other brands, except the Fireblade that costs 2x more for some reason

    How is she to drive in rough traffic?
    And how much harder are they to open up and work on?

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  5 лет назад +1

      She behaves amazing in traffic. No heat and quite nimble. I wouldn't work on it though unless you have a lot of experience. It's a complicated Euro-bike. Hope that helps!

    been wanting to get a zero gravity windscreen for mine how are you liking yours? have you tried any other screens? also, my buddy has the same levers you have on his s1000rr he likes them but I'm not in love with how they look how do you like them? lastly, I have tech spec tank grips on my bike and I've been wanting to try the stomp grips out have you tried both? I had them on an r6 but wasn't a big fan of how they look on the bike... haha i did not know that about the headlights i wonder how true that really is

    • @LookAtMeLuis
      @LookAtMeLuis 6 лет назад +1

      $1,200 to do an oil change and a coolant flush? hell no, fuck all that lol I do all my own maintenance for that reason alone. lol, they wanted $80 to do an oil change and $350 to remove the break-in mode rev limiter lol obviously I said no thanks did the oil myself and took my bike to my buddies house to have him take the limiter off with his gs911. does your bike need the gs911? or is that just for the newer models?

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  6 лет назад +1

      Hey brother! I love my zero gravity windscreen. I have the double-bubble dark tint and it's looks pretty damn good on my bike. I love the shorty levers too. I highly recommend them and they actually look really nice and are well crafted. I haven't tried the tech spec tank grips, but I enjoy the stomp grips. They are black and blend in well on my black S1000RR. I have heard the story of the headlights a couple of times, so it must be true right?! lol :) 🔥🔥🔥

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  6 лет назад +1

      Yeah, they really stick it to you in Hawaii with maintenance. It's sucks, but I'm not comfortable enough yet to conduct maintenance on my S1000RR. That's awesome that your buddy helped with he rev limiter. Sounds like it saved you a crap ton of money! On my 2014, I'm not tracking the gs911. I think you are correct on the gs911 being exclusive to the newer models. Thanks for the comments and questions brother! :) 🔥🔥🔥 #blazeitup

    What do you think about a 2011 model? I looking at one with 18k miles, black. Looks good but as i never own one im a little bit afraid of problems or stuff like that, and because its 12 years old. Do you think its a good idea in 2023/24 getting this bike?

    • @TheDucatiPilot
      @TheDucatiPilot  Год назад +2

      If I’m not mistaken, that was the first year of the S1000RR. 18K miles isn’t bad at all for a 12 year old bike. My 2014 model was bulletproof, and never gave me issues. I think the only thing I replaced was the battery. For the right price, it could be a great investment. I’ve owned Ducati’s since 2018, so my outlook on price is skewed lol. Either way, I don’t think you can go wrong. Make sure you check the frame for abnormalities, the bottom of the engine area for leaks, the front radiator for damage, and the front forks for leaks. Good luck!

    If I got a 2015 s1000rr and I wanted to put a voodoo shorty slip on exhaust, would I have any problems. No tune, no lights come on?

    • @TheDucatiPilot

      I had an aftermarket exhaust on this bike with no tune. Had zero issues (I don't remember a light either). I think you will be fine.
