1:37 finally someone who cares about losing the rubber from foot pegs. For me I remove the rubber and use the aluminum part only to either avoid getting stealth or losing while riding
Good stuff Rembo. Also just there is a disclaimer on the chain guard that states “This only applies to SPORT DEFAULT setting rider only, available upon delivery. Don’t know if it makes a difference. Also I did the same with my crash guards. Gloss Black. Check out Ducati pikes peak dyno at ace. That’s my bike. Puts out 147hp to the wheel
Is it worth checking other links centrelines of the chain by rotating the wheel on the Ducati? Rembo, you ought to lubricate your chain o-rings a bit more 😉
That is very easy, question why you didn’t used the tool that Ducati provide in the tool kit like the one you had in your Multistrada v4s. Thank you for this good videos:)😊
Which tool? The chain measuring tool? It does not work on the Pikes Peak. No where to put it. This is how the manual shows it. Thanks for the question.
Thought Ducati got stingy an did not ship it with the bike, had that little tool on my '13 MS 1200 with single sided swing arm - worked great. Got myself a BPA Racing tool to check tension now.
Where does the 27-29mm come from? I'm going to make a tool like the stainless one for the V4S as there is a nice hole in My PP swingarm not too far from the centre of the swing arm. 😊👌
Is the bike supposed to be in gear when looking for the tightest location on the chain? And once you do find it, do you leave it in gear or put it in neutral? Thanks!
Hey Rembo, I tried the adjustment today (got my spanner wrench yesterday) and want to know how you found the center. You cant really see the front sprocket, so I came up with about 30" overall and measured back 15" from the center of the rear sprocket. How did you come up with the center? (its critical because the chain is at an angle from the part you measure down from and it would be easy to get the wron adjustment. I noticed a hole in the bottom of the black chain cover. I wonder if that is center???? Mine was really loose and the chain was slapping the plastic guide where you measure from. I also noticed that you dont have to move whatever you move with the spanner wrench much to get the chain tight.
I actually took that cover off on another video so you can see exactly where it is. I’m trying to remember what video it is but just put the mark where I put my Mark and you will be perfectly fine. It may not be perfectly centered, but it doesn’t have to be because it’s extremely close.
Ok thanks. I think mine is a little tight. I checked a couple of friends Panigale's today and one was tight like mine and one was a little looser. I think I'm going to loosen it just a tad. Thank you for responding, and boy do I love this bike!!!@@RemboUSMC
I’ll adjust it right before a trip and even after I do a 3000 mile round-trip it doesn’t need to be adjusted again. It’s just in the beginning for the first thousand miles that it may need to be adjusted more than once.
Thank you for this!! I just bought a Pikes Peak with only 1000 miles on it and the chain seems loose even though is was serviced by Ducati 400 miles ago
Per Ducati dealership if you over tighten pinch bolts on the single sided swing arm to tighten/ adjust chain you will ruin the enternal part and have to replace parts guess it’s pretty easy to over tighten ride safe everyone. This is on the Pikes Peak version, just thought I would share this .
@@craig5974 I am going to ask my dealer about this because they printed the sheet with all of the torques for the entire bike and it is clearly marked 35nm by Ducati or about 26 ft lbs.
@@RemboUSMC Well I seen that on your post , my dealership said they changed that torque value lower so there are no issues Apparently it’s easy to egg out that internal adjustment for the chain and you will never get it adjust correctly ever again what my dealership told me here in WI
Hey Rembo. Were you able to confirm the torque values? As far as I can tell, the original bulletin to reduce torque values was released back in 2018 for the panigale v4. Nothing on the v4 pp.
Remember that you should check with the bike on the stand, for the most tensioned part of the chain, and start form there. Otherwise you will put too much tension on some parts of the chain. Chains don't wear equally along all the parts.
On the v4S, how do you know when the chain needs adjustment. I barely have 2500km on it. The reason I ask is that yesterday I noticed like a engine tappets sound or injector clicking sound while riding. I thought it could be the chain but today I heard it at idle also. No engine light. Smooth acceleration. Just have a new sound. Thoughts?
You just check the chain with the adjustment gauge that comes with the bike. I have a video about that too. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/460hL7SJ-BE/w-d-xo.html
![How to change the rear wheel on a Ducati Single Sided Swingarm [ Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ff2cJccpPao/mqdefault.jpg)
What is the biggest benefit of the single-sided swingarm?
Honestly? Not huge benefits but, man, is it good looking.
Less parts to wear
Simpler tire swaps, but unlike the Panigale, the V4 PP requires removal of the muffler to dismount the rear wheel.
@@johnkirkland1198 No it does not. The muffler is not in the way.
Ditto that’s correct .. the tire easily comes off the pikes peak v-4 , the silencer can stay on !! 😀

Thanks and I'll check that out.
Thanks for the MV4S content, man! I got mine 2 months ago!
You are most welcome
I thought it was pretty cool of Ducati to provide the gauge in the tool kit. Easiest chain adjustment ever!
Is it worth checking other links centrelines of the chain by rotating the wheel on the Ducati? Rembo, you ought to lubricate your chain o-rings a bit more 😉
Oh that chain and bike is overdue a cleaning and lubrication
Thanks for the good video , can I ask where you got the torque value of 35nM from ? Thanks
Directly from Ducati. I have a print out from Ducati of every single torque value for every single screw and bolt on the bike.
That is very easy, question why you didn’t used the tool that Ducati provide in the tool kit like the one you had in your Multistrada v4s. Thank you for this good videos:)😊
Which tool? The chain measuring tool? It does not work on the Pikes Peak. No where to put it. This is how the manual shows it. Thanks for the question.
on my V4 Pikes Peak tool kit comes with the same tool you used on your video how to adjust the chain on a V4s multistrada
Oh is under your passenger seat
Thought Ducati got stingy an did not ship it with the bike, had that little tool on my '13 MS 1200 with single sided swing arm - worked great. Got myself a BPA Racing tool to check tension now.
@@CarlosSilva-wn8qq Not compatible. That tool is not for the SSSA. If I flip that tool upsidedown, it is 32-34mm and not with marks at 27-29mm.
Where does the 27-29mm come from? I'm going to make a tool like the stainless one for the V4S as there is a nice hole in My PP swingarm not too far from the centre of the swing arm. 😊👌

I just leave it in neutral the whole time

Can you do one with your old Multistrada?
Done! th-cam.com/video/460hL7SJ-BE/w-d-xo.html
Does the chain tension affect the dqs? After changing chains my dqs is not as smooth as before
Was waiting for this. Nice.
Glad I could help.
how often do you adjust do you do this on long trips or when you get home
I’ll adjust it right before a trip and even after I do a 3000 mile round-trip it doesn’t need to be adjusted again. It’s just in the beginning for the first thousand miles that it may need to be adjusted more than once.
What about removing the curtsy rear splash guard? Thats the pain inn the butt part.
I have not had a reason to touch it yet.
Thank you for this!! I just bought a Pikes Peak with only 1000 miles on it and the chain seems loose even though is was serviced by Ducati 400 miles ago
Glad it helped!
Great how to video , but latest update on torque valves on the pinch bolts is 20 ft/lbs. Even 19 ft/lbs is ok per my Ducati dealership.
Thank you for the update. I appreciate it.

How are you feeling
Remember that you should check with the bike on the stand, for the most tensioned part of the chain, and start form there. Otherwise you will put too much tension on some parts of the chain. Chains don't wear equally along all the parts.
what do you mean you have to have weight on the wheel? someone sitting on the bike when you measure?
That means that you can’t have it up in the air on a stand. It Hass to be sitting on the ground.
@@RemboUSMC thats what i figured thanks for the reply!

Not really getting where you are measuring from as you can not see it. You say bottom rail but what does that mean exactly.
Seems like there are two benefits: the wheel stays true, and it’s quicker to adjust.
Way quicker!
Man, that is a strange set up. It must be some kind of eccentric within the bearing to make that we will move back-and-forth.
