- Not rocket science, but a lot of people struggle with this and there's a lot of misleading info out there, so here's my take on how to adjust ones chain.

Great informative video! :)
Thanks, Kodiak. It's a simple job that people should do themselves, but it's also easy to make simple mistakes, so I just thought it was worth making. Thanks for dropping by!
Is it possible you can put a link for all the tools used
Good morning from Edinburgh.You are wealth of information. We are still in lock down hear .
Cheers Soulis. I hope your restrictions are lifted soon. Mentioning Edinburgh you've made me think about shortbread and scotch eggs now - doh, I'm hungry again! 🥴
Great video. Do you miss the StreetFighter? Can I ask where you get that ball bearing trolley thing
If you have a pulse, you miss a SF as an ex-owner for sure. But it's ferociously fast (license/life-expectancy) and you need deep pockets to maintain it properly. I've had the diamond-shaped roller ball thing for about 20 years. No idea where I bought it. These days people use something like this www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Wheel-cleaning-stand-Replacement/dp/B07PKQPLC3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=L22VLN64EZ94&keywords=motorcycle+rear+wheel+roller&qid=1662814098&sprefix=motorcycle+rear+wheel+roller%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSTJMM1EzMlY0VUk5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTkyNzM1V0tQSUhMTzBLQ1BJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNjYxNjkzMjhLUUQ4RkU3Mlk0JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Very informative, thank you! Is this information accurate to a 999?
In theory, but I would still refer to your owner manual, or call your dealer and ask an actual 'mechanic', rather than take the word of a service advisor.
I saw a lot of riders lube the outside of chain, but I think it definitely no need to do it, also it will stick a lot of dirt and oil gunk. Just lube the roller which the surface contact to the sprocket.
Thanks, Harry. Just my 2 cents. Being sealed, the rollers need no lubrication. But whenever you have metal-on-metal movement, oil can help reduce friction. This is turn reduces heat, expansion, deformity, and therefore wear. Use quality oil to avoid gunk and stiction, and lubricate lightly to avoid fling. Avoid paste/sticky lubricants and not cleaning the chain regularly to avoid a grinding paste effect. Clean with a degreaser such as WD40's, lightly lubricate, do it every 500 miles or whenever you check for chain adjustment and you'll all be fine.
@@RichDunn Thanks for you reply!
So... you say that drinking battery acid is not good for you?? :-) Love your humor! Thanks for the video. The Ducati owners manual is "poor" compared to my KTM SDR's where I do see a detailed set of torque values etc.... Regards!
Thanks. They definitely spend more money on their carbon fiber and nitride than language translators, that's for sure - Google translation has much to answer for!
Yeah, but your KTM is 'poor' compared to any Ducati :-)
constructive advice - torque is force x distance so the imperial torque measure is pronounced "foot pounds" not "pounds per foot". The latter might be heard when enquiring about the going rate at a bordello for well hung gents, but not when torquing up nuts and bolts.😊
Thanks, John, you are a wiser man than I! But if torque is 'force x distance' isn't that "pounds foot" - just sayin'! 🤷♂😀 Personally, I like to just say 'torques', but people don't like that term either. I find it particularly annoying that nowadays companies like to quote power in imperial (hp) and torque in metric (Nm). They should just stick to one standard and that should be metric IMPO.
All that gear when doing 250+miles/day when away from home seems like a right PITA.
I'm not sure I understand Ryan? Modern Ducati chains are good for about 3,000 miles between each minor chain adjustment. No need to carry any tools for chain maintenance unless going on a month trip or something - which would be the same for any other chain-driven motorcycle. For those that don't like chains, heavier and more power-zapping alternatives are available.
@@RichDunn every 500 miles. I often do 300-350 miles a day on the weekend so its’s basically a biweekly PITA.
@@ryanmalone2681 I ride that kind of distance every week too. Ryan. So I only need to check for chain play when I'm at home and it literally takes seconds. It only takes longer when adjustment is required, maybe every 3k miles. It's also easy to get a rough gauge on play/slack while away just by moving it up and down with e.g. an ignition key. But like I said, for those who don't like checking, adjusting, and lubricating a chain, alternate solutions (with their own compromises) are available as final drive solutions. The choice is a good thing, and fortunately, that's what we all have.
@@RichDunn Really? I do t have that experience. Are you off-roading it or just staying on the road?
@@ryanmalone2681 208 hp Ducati's don't handle well off road. To reiterate the point, if you don't like chains and you do ride off-road, bikes like the GS, and S10 may better suit your needs.
why you lube yopur chain from the side of liks omg XD XD XD SO WRONG
With sealed o-rings it arguably doesn't require any, so its all good.
And this is why I keep buying shaft drive bikes for the last 11 years.
I've generally only had shaft or belt drive bikes myself Tom, for the last 20 years. But 5-10 mins of maintenance every 1,000 miles is really not all that significant. And modern chains and sprockets should last 20k+ if you're a smooth rider who maintains their chain well. Shaft drive is definitely convenient, but it's also very heavy, power zapping, and costs a fortune to fix if it goes wrong. So as per every bike, it's a design compromise based on its expected use.
I suppose someones got to buy them.
