I've been looking for a specific video on changing brake fluid on a Ducati using the MityVac and your video instruction was perfect for that. Well delivered point by point, not that I could not have done it without the video, but I don't take anything for granted or assume I can wing my way through it. I've done clutch and brake fluid changes over the years, but it's been a while and except for my 999R, I didn't keep the bikes long enough to justify the procedure. I know you were kidding about the Starbucks example, but for those non Ducati riders or haters, this feeds right into their stereotype of those who ride Ducatis. I rarely stop at Starbucks because when I ride the canyons, there aren't any of those around and besides, I hate Starbucks coffee because it tastes like burnt beans, instant upset stomach. Thanks again and now I have a clear understanding and clarification of the steps to take moving forward today changing out the brake fluid on the 999R. I changed the clutch fluid last week, piece of cake.
nice systematic process you demonstrate. Thanks for the informative video! and yes, the used 1098 I just bought with 7000mi has starbucks colored fluid in the resevoirs....
I love your videos! Can you do a video about changing out the sprockets and chain? I have a Ducati SC 1000 BiPosto. I like to support my local mechanic but I also want to know what a proper job entails. Thanks.
Hey Mike! You say you use DOT4 for the clutch as well? Why not the mineral oil they recommend? I'm new to this so I want to learn. Will the process you describe here be the same for a 2016 Multistrada? Thank you for the help with the gauze filter!
Go with what is stamped on the top of your reservoir lid. This video is for 1098/1198/848 - Definately DOT4. You do not want to mix DOT4 with mineral oil if your system has mineral oil.
Man I can’t thank you enough for your videos I have now completed all three flushes and now I don’t look like those idiot Ducati owners at Starbucks with dark brown fluid!!! Lol
It’s hilarious that most or average Ducati’s are sold are always before 7500 miles or 15000 range, people are scared that the 1400-1600 service costs are so high when $5 Starbucks per day x 1 year is 1680. How bout you stop buying overpriced coffee and go to Arco and fresh Columbian for 1.99 or less of on sale and use all the savings off coffee for your service in 2 years or so. Love your vids currently in the market for a 🦆
My girlfriend is cool. My wife gets pissed. It is all good. I get to touch a lot of awesome bikes and I get to screw with a bunch of toolsbags who can't ride or maintain their machine. Being from Austin, you should know a lot about riding back and forth to Starbucks.

This guy took dark brake fluid really personally lol.
I like your ‘French’ …
Great Video thank you for taking all the steps needed as I have something to follow.
I love the blunt commentary.. Brutal.. 😂 “probably rode the bike to starbucks and back.”
nice systematic process you demonstrate. Thanks for the informative video! and yes, the used 1098 I just bought with 7000mi has starbucks colored fluid in the resevoirs....
Congratulations on the bike! You are going to absolutely love the 1098. I have ridden many 1098 and 1198, both put a smile on my face.
"just ride to Starbucks" rofl!!
brilliant the commentary :) ... thanks

The process is the same for bleeding/flushing the system...
@@RideWNC Thank you Mike!
Great video!! Thanks for it!!! Nice job!!!
Is there a way to change a race ecu from EU to US?
Man I can’t thank you enough for your videos I have now completed all three flushes and now I don’t look like those idiot Ducati owners at Starbucks with dark brown fluid!!! Lol
I resent that comment about riding to Starbucks. I ride to other coffee shops as well. When my Prius in the shop.
At least you own a Prius. I personally would NEVER own a Toyota.

I wonder if this dudes girlfriend ever tells him to not be so bitter.

Most negative instructions ever
I am sorry if it offended you, little girl. Please pull your panties out of you crack and grow a pair.
