cleaning

Hello all! I recently spoke with my dealer and they told me not to clean my bike with dawn soap and water (oops i’ve done it twice now). What is the best cleaner and wax for Ducati’s, specifically the V2? Also, should I clean and lube my chain? I’ve read some articles that say not to clean and...

The book says every second oil change. But thats for a street bike and that would be at 7500 miles for the first one. How often should it be cleaned for a track only bike? I change the oil every 3-4 track days so I don't want to be doing that service every 600 miles! Thanks, Matt

Hey guys, Just picked up my 1299 last week. Coming from the Monster, I have a lot more painted surface to worry about keeping nice. I currently have Plexus, Honda Spray Polish, and a quick detailing spray. I used the detail spray and a microfiber cloth to remove some smudges and dust, but...

Does anyone have any experience cleaning the front sprocket on the 1199? I looked around the bike and there has to be an easier way than what I have in mind. Which is to remove the shifter rod (clutch bolt in the way). Remove the cover to clean the sprocket. Thanks

Question my rear sprocket looks dingy and has lots of gunk from all the riding i do. what do you all use to clean it? thanks chris

Looks like the chain wax has burnt on the exhaust. Tried WD-40, no luck its stuck on there.

On the homologated Akra for the R, anyone know which products to use or have good results with cleaning the silencers, in particular, the satin finished sections? Obviously I don't want to harm them, a standard metal polish isn't going near it, but I was just wondering what people are using?

:eek: it was about time... cleaning kit works well, and since i was prepping the bike anyway for the track, quickly flipped the tank off, took the filter out (2 minutes) cleaned it with the detergent in 6 liters of hot water and let it dry, after blowing the filter with air from the...

How often MWR owners clean they airfilter? I was surprise, how much was dirt there after 4000km ( 1500 in track)...

So, my new Panigale loves to coat the left underside of the tail in little specks of guck flying off the stock chain. What have you guys done to get the chain all nice and clean? I have an aerosol chain lube that goes on clear so after a good cleaning this should no longer be an issue.

Here is my MWR air filter after 6000mi of use. About 3000mi plus on the track. My baby has asthma. I bet she"ll breath a lot better once she is clean.

Hi guys. I have the Stealth Black 1199S and it's my first matte paint I've ever had. Any cleaning and care suggestions? It seems so different than the clear coats I'm used to waxing etc. Thanks!

Anybody do this yet? what did you use? did you take the thing apart take out the foam then refit?

Before: After: Barkeeper's Friend is a powder, like Ajax or Comet, but it's designed specifically for cleaning stainless steel. Notice how it changed the color of the muffler body from a coppery color to a color more appropriate to stainless steel. Not as much effect on the...

This being my first post here, I did use the search function to look for similar posts, but was unsuccessful. So...How does everyone clean their bikes? Remove panels and clean separate? Products used? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Living in Texas means been hit by bugs...constantly...so I am now trying to clean my Arai face-shield... I have tried hot soapy water....Windex.. but to no avail... it still has lots of bug smear.... What should I be trying???...shield is a couple of years old and probably should be...

How do you guys clean the inside of your leather gloves? You cant turn them inside out to sanitize it. I am thinking about looking for some glove socks or something for my Dainese Scalpel Gloves. Nice gloves BTW.

Ladies and Gents Good Day, Just wondering how people cleaned their Termi's, them being titanium and all. I have read everything from metal compunds to using vinigar and olive oil. Just wondering how Ducatista do in this regard. Thank you very much!!!! :D

why the hell did Ducati design the screen so you can not clean it passed the dash........when I am cleaning it I can't get my chammy below the dash line to dry it and it annoys me ! anyways:rolleyes:
