Few more helpful tips: 1. It's always best to find the tightest chain position when tensioning the chain for normal maintenance. However, when tensioning the chain for the very first time after replacement, I always find the loosest chain position because the chain tends to loosen substantially in just a few miles of riding, leaving you with a dangerously loose driveline. 2. Be sure to collapse your brake fluid reservoir baffle before refilling with fluid. 3. You can break the chain with cutting tools such as an angle grinder or dremel fitted with a cut-off wheel. 4. You can save the life of your chain tool by grinding the rivet head-away prior to breaking the chain.

@@FancyAnimalcouldn’t have said it better myself. I think it’s rather sad honestly, it’s almost as if the only motivation these individuals have is money.

To anyone watching this: it is advised to grind down the rivet head before attempting to just push the rivet out like FA was able to. I have NEVER seen someone do it successfully without grinding the rivet head off, other than in this video.
Great video. I doubt many Panigale owners do their own work, but those that do will definitely appreciate this. Engine rebuild next? Just for the video😂😂
Attempting this today ….. so many vids out there but this is the first one that made me feel confident enough to actualy do it . I’m sure it will go smoothly after watching this . Thanks mate will let you know how it went …. Legend
It’s great your making your videos again; I have the same motorcycle from 2012 but I’ve only covered 6000 miles. I have had some engine problems and floppy mirrors but I still prefer this iteration of the Panigale and Ducati did look after me. I like your music too, best wishes from the UK.
Nice work. Be sure to check your chain adjustment after the first ride for stretching, and readjust going forward, this time finding the tightest spot on the chain as reference. Need to add that note to the video.
Loved the detailed shots and explanation of what you're doing. I saved your video so I can refer to it when it comes time to replace my chain and sprockets on my 1199S panigale
Fancy- no doubt you are very busy but we are missing your unique views and commentary on life and Ducatis. We need more rides with you- hope to see you soon.
I’m currently in physical therapy to overcome neurological issue in my back:..not bike related. Got me down in a hole. Hopefully next few months I’ll be able to ride. Cheers my friend!
Fancy- we are dying out here without you! How many times will I have to watch the Magic Toilet?? I hope your back is better, life is good, and you have a great weekend ahead. We miss you man!
Great explanation of the process, sadly due to multiple bikes, U.K. weather and COVID my 1299s only has 2,500 miles, come the summer that will increase significantly, perhaps few tours to see friends across the U.K. and Europe will sort that out!
@@FancyAnimal thanks, although the vaccination programme is reducing the number of people who require hospital treatment. 90% of people in intensive care are unvaccinated
@@nickmurray721 according to UKHSA 36% of hospitalizations are unvax and 61% are vax. The 90% ICU figure you’re quoting is from ECMO therapy which consisted of 150 patients. Vaccines help reduce serious illness, but covid policies will show to have claimed far more lives…just look at missed cancer screenings and suicide data alone. fullfact.org/health/dr-hilary-lorraine-kelly-90-percent/
Bro what a perfect video!!!! Congrats very helpful I was able to do it myself. Do you happen to have a video replace the disc on a STM dry clutch???? That's next
Tip. Use a Dremel to cut of the rivet head. Your tool will last longer. Also to mark the new chain joint place a red dot of finger nail lacquer. It helps when you inspect the chain.
FA, where did you go? Off topic from this video question…I’m a commuter similar to you, or you used to be. Anyway, I ride 240miles per week and need a good set of tires that can be mostly for commuting and a some canyon riding. 80% commuting/20% twisty’s. I’m on a 2015, 1299S.
Hi FA, Have been a fan of your content for years. Grabbed a shirt and sticker from your spring store the least I could do. Hopefully an update on the bike and yourself is in the near future. Hope your well,
Hey man thanks for the encouraging email and for supporting the channel. I broke my back this past summer (fatigue fracture) and it’s caused a lot of pain throughout my body. Getting stronger. Hope to get back on the bike in March. Been a serious physical and mental challenge. Cheers mate!
@@FancyAnimal I know how debilitating a back injury can be. It affects every aspect of your life. But you will turn a corner in your recovery things will get better. Keep going, look forward to seeing you back out there.
@@charl12 thanks man. It came out of nowhere and is affecting the nerves in my gut and pelvis….L5 pars and spinous process fracture …like broken glass floating around in gut and lumbar. I’m cycling now and about 50%. Ultimately surgery is the only way to repair the double fracture.
@@FancyAnimal Just had a look at spineuniverse seems that surgery depending on the type of fracture is the way to go. Even though invasive surgery isn’t ideal to manage your pain ongoing through other alternatives could be worse. I know the health care system in the USA is a barrier to getting a result also. Have you thought about gofundme? you could reach out through the channel for some financial assistance.
Again, great informative video. I have a question for you; have you had any engine problems with your 1199S Panigale? I recently bought one with 6k miles and was told it was recently serviced so I didn't bother checking the oil. Went on a ride with some friends to Solvang and ran out of oil and now have a bad rod knock. Have you seen or dealt with anything like this before?
Yikes. Sorry to hear that. No I've never heard of such a thing. I'm at 45,000 miles with no issues. My guess is they serviced the engine and replaced the filter, but forgot to add the new oil. The only way to displace that much oil in such a short amount of time is to consume it through the rings, which would cause a GIANT smoke cloud, or crack the case on a crash and dump it onto the road. I hope you bought it through a dealer with a warranty because it sounds like the engine is scrap.
Hey FA, nice vid. Pani's looking sweet. How's our extra terrible COVID lockdown going? It's dogshit... The only saving grace is the weather's also been dogshit for the most part, so not too much quality ride time lost. Praying things get loosened up before the decent weather arrives 🙏
This is the video Ducati shops will use to train their new techs. BTW, how long did all this take you to do? It would have taken me about a week, full-time, assuming I didn't break anything--which I always do!
Shop rate is 2-3 Hours if you're familiar with the process, 4-6 hours first time, or a half day of Saturday + Sunday if you're just taking your time with a beer.
Good video. I always fill the reservoir and open up the bleeder on the slave cylinder and allow gravity to due its work, it works perfectly every time. Did you give up on Gavin, Nancy and the gang and move back to the east coast?
The shift / strain gage sensor is easily damaged by heat. If you notice, the 2022 Panigale V4 has a new set of lower heat extractors specifically tailored to cool the shift linkage.
You need a hex key socket set, torx socket set, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch ratchets with extensions, digital torque wrench up to 200 ft-lbs in both nm and ft-lb, Speedy Moto wheel nut impact socket, zip ties, screwdriver set, and chain tool.
Mostly yes, however check the recommended chain tension as it will be different for the V4. Also note that the chain tension for the V4 will be different for different years.
Bro how many miles she has so far? Ive spot one with 30k kms on her she looks brand new condition and is a bike ive fallen in love hard with and im ready to go to the nearest bank and pull the trigger. Shall i do it ? Or seek for a lower kms one
If your bike has a single sided swing arm then you should be able to use the same pin on either side. If that's not the case, just get the left side pin.
I see you are using the same amount on links in the chain even though you went up 2 teeth in the rear. I thought you would add length to the chain to accommodate for that.
I did the 15/41 change long ago at 18K (in the first year of ownership). So same chain size. But yes, the chain would need to be 2 links longer from factory unless it's an R. Cheers!
what about the semi-active ohins? hve you had to do maintenance or oil changes on them? I was thinking about bringing mine to Computech but I just dont have space to work on my bike right now as im moving.
I have the 1199 with passive electronic adjustment. At 18,000 miles the titanium nitride coating on the fork tube was worn by the seals to the extent that both forks had to be replaced under warranty.....lucky for me as they were $2500 a side from Ohlins. I'm double that mileage now and fingers crossed.
@@FancyAnimal so in other words, at 14k miles i should concider riding the bike to an ohlins shop and having the maintenance get done before that happens.
@@ChaseN194 your 15k service is coming so while they’re porking you $1300 to tell you your valves are all in spec, check the steering to see if it’s indexed/sticking...rebuild the steering head and check fork seals.
@@FancyAnimal naaaahhhhh miss me with that ducati non-sense, my HRC built sp2 engine does 20k valve jobs and is still currently in perfect spec, but im about 10k miles away from going full superstock track only build and just converting the semi-actives with ohlins cartridges. Not sure if youve ever had the manual modes on yours tuned to your weight before, but once you experience properly dialed in manual ohlins, you realize semi active is really just a street thing in a lot of cased 👌
Did you ground down the chain link pins on both sides of the new chain before you removed the additional 14 links? The reason I ask is you are very technically proficient. The chin link pinks are staked, therefore larger on the outside plates. When you force the pins through they are slightly larger outer diameter pushing through your new chain link side plates disrupting the chain plates slightly and weakening the side plates on the remaining new chain. If you ground down the faces of those pins on both sides where you are breaking the chain that avoids damaging the new chain side plates and it hardening. Just saying.
@@FancyAnimal Not bad my friend but as you eluded too not noticing a major difference. When I put 2 more teeth on my 998 the front wheel wouldn’t stay on the ground but that’s another beast. Does seem to be a good ratio for street riding though. Cheers
When you gonna trade up for a Streetfighter V4? You’ll obviously require the Akra, sprint and upmap but then your done and never need another bike for the rest of your life, unless you get interested in cruising!

If I’m reading mine correctly it says 50 divided by 52 for chain distance of swing arm?
How do you get the front sprocket totally off? The suspension arm thing connecting to the swing arm and Frame seems to be in the way.
Watch the video at 9:34
Do you know if the shifter linkage can be powder coated or does it have internals that will be damaged by heat
Thank you!!!!!!
The shift / strain gage sensor is easily damaged by heat. If you notice, the 2022 Panigale V4 has a new set of lower heat extractors specifically tailored to cool the shift linkage.
Hwy Animal you're a beast.

It should be collapsed. I’ll add a note to the video. Good catch.
What’s the torque spec on the rear sprocket carrier axle nut? I think it’s 170 ft lbs. it didn’t seem like you went nearly that right n
send me an email and I'll send you the whole torque spec manual
