Extremely helpful. Especially appreciate you only took 3 minutes to demonstrate. Much better than the videos that take 20 minutes to say what could be said in 3 minutes
Thanks for the video. Just one thing that I'd like to know. According to the manual, it says that the bike must be on its side stand to measure the chain tension. Should the distance between the chain and the swingarm differ when measuring on center stand or service stand?
Just to address some of the comments, the guy in the video is a Ducati factory trained tech and official Ducati service agent, he knows what he's doing. UK owners look for Cornerspeed in Nottinghamshire, twice UK dealer service award winner. The bike is supported by its rear wheel so there is still weight on the suspension. Being on the side side would make no difference except to make the job more awkward.
" twice UK dealer service award winner" all that means is they are sucking off their customer and marketing well. Nothing to do with quality of work.....by any means
you should be checking the tension while on the side stand...not the way you are doing it. The tension changes when the wheel is supported by a rear stand....
He is not on the center stand. The weight of the bike is on the rear axle using a separate stand. However the manual says to use a single finger to pull the chain down when measuring.
I read teh manual and saw teh same thing (put bike on side stand to adjust chain) and as the rear wheel swings so far up and down when it's loaded or not loaded, unless it's moving in a perfect circle around the front sprocket (it's not) then this is being done differently. Not saying he is wrong, but if he's right the manual is wrong
Useful video but like like ASanina1 mentions the procedure shown is not exactly as recommended in the manual. Detailed 'how to' on chain adjustment for the Multistrada 1200 / MTS1200 on the MTS1200.info website (TH-cam won't allow me to post the actual URL here;-)
That is not totaly correct. The bike has to stay in the lateral stand and the bike have a small piece that we can put in the suport near the chain and give us the right tension to aply.

good point out
Correct

and set on urban mode and single rider no luggage IAW the manual

@@stevereinschmidt961 the manual says to push down on the chain then release it then measure
In the tool kit you should have a little metal guage which saves you having to measure it using a ruler
Ppp po
Whats the torque setting for those back bolts
The bike must be on the lateral support for to follow the conventional sag from Ducati.

This is not how its explained in the Ducati hand book.
Next time please shine a light on the bolts being referred to and give some clear instructions on all tools required, thanks.
thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A chella zappa!
Thanks
a little bit too much conflicting info here
That is not totaly correct. The bike has to stay in the lateral stand and the bike have a small piece that we can put in the suport near the chain and give us the right tension to aply.
No clue
Well you certainly fucked that up.
stupid comment
All wrong, the chain must be tensioned Nm 35,
