Ducati Monster 821 | Oil Change

NOTE: I have K&N filter already installed. If you have OEM filter see info below. Please read the service manual and use that as you primary guide. This video is just a loose guideline to get you familiar with the job so you know what to expect and hopefully inspires you to do your own maintenance and learn about your motorcycle.

Oil mesh filter does not need to be checked every time. See owners manual for service intervals. But it is not much extra work to do so there is no reason not to do it every time you change oil.

TOOLS:
K&N Oil Filter: 17mm wrench or socket
Oil Drain Plug: 5mm allen
Oil Mesh Filter Drain Plug: 12mm allen
Oil Mesh Filter Plug: 14mm allen
Oil Mesh Filter: 17mm allen
Exhaust Clamp: 10mm allen wrench or socket
Rear Stand (Optional)

SUPPLIES:

VIDEO GEAR:
Camera: Canon 5D MKII [1080p/24p]

Best camera angle ever for a Ducati oil change video. Nice job!

[TwoWheeledVikings]

Absolutely love these videos! Have been searching for someone with mechanical experience / talent in relation to the Ducati Monster 821 so that I could possibly copy and do some basic maintenance and mods at home. Keep them coming!

best videos for Ducati owner! looking forward to see more!

Very good video; this is the DESMO oil change, on the regular service you skip all those extra steps but just draining the oil and removing the old filter. fill it with new oil and new filter and is done.

The coolest yet most detail oil change I've seen on YouTube. Greetings from Malaysia buddy ! 😊👍

[battlefake]

The allen key for the mesh filter is a 18mm, NOT 19mm... and the mesh filter Plug, a 14mm... but for the rest, you‘ve done a great job dude! 👍🏻 Thanks a lot

Nice video. I'm glad on the Hyper 821 I don't have to remove the exhaust haha.

[adnanchaudhari]

Hold Fast this is a great video. I'll finally be purchasing my 821 this February. All your videos will come in handy. Hope you're doing well and looking forward to seeing videos again. All the best!

This guy deserve atleast a million subs.

[Bartholomew]

Dude your videos are awesome! Perfect quality! Keep them coming! Greetings from germany.

[jessefretwell]

gotta say, one of the best instructionals I've seen. No explosive intro with twerkable music, no "I'm gonna do this now" talk and holding hands before you do it - you just do it. "Show me don't tell me" format, love it! Subscribed. How do you like your Monster? It sounds awesome. I'll have to look through your videos and see what exhaust you have on it.

Thank you so much for posting this video!! I have been looking for a how-to for my 821

[alexroman]

This is a fking great video. Just the simplicity and detailed makes it perfect.

[slycat]

Great video. Torque specs on the reinstall of the bolts would have been sublime!

Safety Fast!

[AlbertVicol]

As usual super easy made video and super quality ! Big like!!

[colochimba]

Thanks for this man. You should be back to Youtube.

[sharagan]

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions, especially on the filter under the exhaust pipe. :) Cheers!

Standard quality for Hold Fast = Awesome

[DJMotoVlogs]

Informative and entertaining. Very nicely done and I have never seen a plastic mesh oil filter like that before but that's pretty cool.
