Great Job! You are no bodger! I read in the comments that you installed new bolts. Torque value and then the angle of twist will usually lengthen the bolt beyond its yield limit, so reusing the bolt is not advisable.
Ducati, the "Italian Harley Davidson"! For as much as this bike cost, and to have this issue with such low miles, I would definitely have the dealer do the warranty repair. Just in case this reoccurs later, it's documented. After the warranty expires, I'd gladly do it myself.
Props for Manny taking this project on and props for being so calm for a bike with so little miles leaking already, most people would have cried or complained. Also most would have taken the bike to the dealer for a Warranty claim. 👏👏👏 good vid
Respect for working on your bikes yourself again. I completely identify with the perfectionism. My OCD ass would have used gloves to take off the exhaust and then I would have to wipe the whole thing down again before putting it on. I need help...
Wanted a Ducati forever. Finally bought a V4S and it was nothing but problems the entire time I owned it. From leaking issues to air in the clutch system. $32k bike that left me stranded on the side of the road with only 1100 miles on it. Never again. I’m back on a 2023 S1000RR. Never looking back. Some of the best looking bikes on the road but Ducatis IMO are not worth the money or the hassle
Hi Mani, Like the new work place. I have a request. Can you make a video showing how to set the riding mode and suspension mode. I am not talking about making changes to the settings inside the menu, but how to activate for instance DES fix custom instead of Dynamic suspension and switch from sport mode to race mode. I can’t find any video that go over that part. Thank you
Damn that sucks man, but leaking ducatis seems to be a theme. My 3k mile V4 periodically leaks from rear cam cover, very common place. I have heard several front bank cam covers as well, coolant from weep hole seema very common too. Part of the charm unfortunately. Hopefully the oil pan will be good to go, after fix
We will report once we get some oil in there, and the bike back together. Next is the subframe change for us, then we can move forward with the exhaust re-install and the first start after the oil pan fix!
nice job - one think tho if its a new or still under guarantee bike and its leaking (and this is for the most of us out there) take it to the dealer, let them fix it, have it documented properly cause if there is something else with the bike that you can not deal with by yourself down the road you will save your self lots of frustration - besides if under guarantee you do not have to pay for anything - enjoy
Yes they are one time use. We had ordered new ones. What you see on the video with the cardboard is only a reference for me to make sure I know which ones were the longer bolt, as if I remember correctly 3 bolts were longer, and rest were the shorter bolts. But it also helped me with the torque sequence, as I wrote down the numbers on the cardboard to follow, rather than keep looking at the service manual.
@@Motomillion Nice! You did a great job! If you wouldn't mind, do you happen to know the part number for that Snap-on torque wrench you used also? I would love to purchase one for myself.
If you think they will give you a replacement because of an oil leak, you will be up for a surprise. If you think they are capable of properly fixing your motorcycle you will be up for a second surprise.
And I’ve now found an oil leak from exactly the same place - SP2 with 2,000km on it… 🙈 What are the odds that your bike was built by the same guy that built mine… 😂
Leaking oil : 1st time I hear it occurs on a V4SP2. 🤔 You've been so unlucky ( which is statistically improbable) or you just missed something in the running-in , 'cos such issue after 335 miles is frequent on bikes like Harleys but absolutely it's not on Ducatis...
@@Motomillion I can assure you I Iive under nothing ( rock comprehensive), true facts and nothing else ,not even primitive & nonsensed stereotypes, are my GPS. Why being upset to me ? Check by yourself if, unlike other brands, leaking oil is an extremely rare issue on new brand Ducati bikes. I admire your self-confidence attitude, must say : your " 50% ironic & 50% expertise stylish " smile towards those ( Modena Imola Bologna ) who are ranked as the world's best mechanics is priceless .😁
I have a 2023 SP2 and it’s not leaking. However, I followed a normal break-in. I didn’t exceed about 8k rpms until the first service. You guys ragged on this bike and redlined it on the dyno numerous times. Maybe that didn’t give the seals proper heat cycles not under high loads time to bed in. My two cents.
The silicone sealant used has a full cure time of 24 hours. Taking a bike to redline is not ragging on it. Look up our dyno break in video and we explain why we feel comfortable doing so and knowing so. We don't listen to old wives tales, we listen to proper engineers who work for manufacturers and are involved with the engineering process of many engines. The leak has nothing to do with the break in procedure.
I followed the break-in very carefully on my SP2 and I’ve just found a leak from exactly the same place after just 2,000km. Maybe you’ve been lucky or maybe your bike hasn’t started leaking yet… 😂
We didn't know you followed this bike for its whole 300 miles it has done. You for sure know the cause, you should write to Ducati to sell your theory to them, it will solve a lot of warranty claims and they will for sure offer you a lot of money for this information you know of. (:
Manny thanks for the video. My bike leaks from the same exact spot 😵💫😕 I’m planning to use the gasket rather than the silicone. Anyone have feedback on the gaskets? 🤞

Respect Manny! Do the job your self! Dont leave it to the dealer becuase they dont care! Schrath everything! Love the SP2 !!!!!
I will make a rant video soon enough.
Great Job! You are no bodger! I read in the comments that you installed new bolts. Torque value and then the angle of twist will usually lengthen the bolt beyond its yield limit, so reusing the bolt is not advisable.
Yes, they are torque to yield bolts, need nee ones once removed.
You sir are a true gentleman. You have a real nice way about ya. Love your vids,keep them coming.
I appreciate that

You don't need gloves, you need to make sure it is all wiped down before it sees heat again.
Gotta love the ducati mishaps at times
Almost expected right?
Great job!

We hear such mixed reviews, and trust me Ducati's have come a long way in terms of reliability.
Same issue, i change clutch line bigger than standard now its a good bike idk why ducati didn’t care about this issue.
Very well done job mad respect 🙏
Thank you!
Love your work Mani😊
Thank you Tas!
Nice work Mani 👍 I spent much more on my smallest torque wrench, it's not good if you ruin the thread in the cases 😮
Thanks 👍

I am not talking about making changes to the settings inside the menu, but how to activate for instance DES fix custom instead of Dynamic suspension and switch from sport mode to race mode.
I can’t find any video that go over that part.
Thank you
Thank you. We can definitely try.
Nice video love the content Mani!
Check the banjo bolts on the abs unit as well 😉
Thanks Dado! It definitely was oil, the abs unit would have been an easy one!
Oh i know it was the oil pan, however (unrelated) couple people including myself have found the brake banjos loose from factory on these.
Its that damn Gepedo man
Another great video as usual. I love the good,bad(ducati manufacturing)and the ugly!
A job well done, Mani! May I ask where can I get the torque wrench please sir?
It is a snapon torque wrench.
Just had a leak on my 1199... but I covered it with the Desmo service (Top cylinder)... seeing oil is always scary
Oil leak directly on top of exhaust pipe is also scarier!
@@Motomillion especially with those pretty unobtanium made parts. Hehe
Damn that sucks man, but leaking ducatis seems to be a theme. My 3k mile V4 periodically leaks from rear cam cover, very common place.

talk about quality...... wow
I guess it’s expected as the V4 engine vibrates more than a lonely wife’s pleasure toys.
very cool tools
Thank you!
All my 7 ducatis leaked out of the showroom. 😂
At least they are consistent!
Ducati hired a bunch of Harley technicians 😂
I’m on my 5th (3 also raced with) but they never leaked. And this SP2 only seen the dyno that rear tires isn’t used at all.
None of my 5
Is this gasket applied in the factory by hand or machine?
Dying to put the 2023-ZX-10-RR up against the V4-R !!!!
Great video! Need to do the same here. Can we get a copy of the printed manual you used?
Thank you. Reach out to our customer service team and we can try to accommodate you.
You talked a lot about the torque wrench. What brand and model is it?
It is a SnapOn, need to check the exact model number.
@@Motomillion Thanks.

If you trust the dealer to do the job right, sure. Unfortunately that is not the case with us.
@@Motomillion lol agreed
What brand gasket maker did you use for the oil pan? I also got a leak and I’m not trying to use the wrong kind of gasket
The oem ducabond
It's a Ducati, what do you expect; I'm surprised it hasn't fallen apart
It is not together to fall apart :p
you ever gonna add zx6r parts on the site
Unfortunately not likely in the near future.
That silicone is pour at the factory by a robot 🤖 crazy 😮
Come on Ducrappi, you back to your old ways?!😂
Audi engineers were out of the factory that day.
Been there and done that with the 1199! 😂
We remember the 1199R's particularly leaking through the oil pan because of the porous material used. But lets not open a can of worms.
@@Motomillion I own an 1199R but luckily no leaks yet 🤞
Well, thats a surprise
Mani, the bolts for the sump look similar to the engine side cover bolts which are "one-time use only" type bolts. Is this the case?
Yes they are one time use. We had ordered new ones.

Great job fixing the Manufacturers mistake.
What is that black glue ?
Ducabond
it's not an italian vehicle if it doesn't leak oil every other day of the week hahahahahaha
🔥🔥🔥
fixing without goin to dealership
Bro 🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️
If my $40k bike was leaking oil I would have taken it back and asked for a replacement.
Oil on the rear tyre is no joke and a safety issue
If you think they will give you a replacement because of an oil leak, you will be up for a surprise. If you think they are capable of properly fixing your motorcycle you will be up for a second surprise.
That is how you know you have an authentic Italian machine. If its not leaking oil its not Italian..
We want it to drop espresso at least, not oil.
And I’ve now found an oil leak from exactly the same place - SP2 with 2,000km on it… 🙈 What are the odds that your bike was built by the same guy that built mine… 😂
Both of our was done by the same guy on a Friday afternoon.
You were pretty harsh on your BMW build just saying
Yes, just as harsh with this.
👍🙂
Same issue w/ my V4SP2 #656
From the same place?
Man, there is no excuse for Ducati. None.
Regardless of the brand, there is no excuse for anything to have these issues so early on.

@@Motomillion Fair enough.
@@Motomillion What does a 24hr cure time have to do with the oem leaking. Serious question, why are the oem engines leaking, what causes it.
why do all his bikes break when theyre brand new lmao is this wht he gets for now following break in procedure
It must be right? You sir are a genius!
Owned a dozen japanese bikes over 35 yrs never had 1 oil leak. Lol 25grand for oil stains, you can keep your italian over priced crap
That may be a little harsh.
@@Motomillion 25k for leaker is harsh as is reality.
Maybe drive your bike more and let it heat up probably, this bike only sees the dyno that rear hasn’t real asphalt in his whole life.
