coolant

Heya. Want to replace coolant, current drain plug is absolulty stripped (allen). Have tools to extract it but can't seem to find replacement drain plug anywhere. Any suggestions appriciated. Possible to use just another screw of correct thread pitch and length?

Hi, have a new to me 2018 V4S, it's had a rough life - picked it up from auction at the end of last year as a salvage title with crash damage - but was just cosmetic/easy fix stuff. Got it all back together and running nice without too much effort this spring - Ducati really seem to have come a...

Hi everyone, I’m flushing my coolant for the first time and I can’t tell if the color and smell are normal. It seems to be either orange or brown. And it smells like fish. It’s a 2014 and I bought it with 2K miles on it like three months ago. I’d imagine the coolant sat in there for many years...

Hi I took my right side fairings off and noticed that I have two coolant level markings. It has the one by the forks and another under the fairings. But they don't match for min and max. Anyone notice this? And which one is correct?

Any one use either the VP Racing Fuels Stay Frosty Hi-Performance coolant or VP Racing Fuels Stay Frost Race Ready coolant on their 1299's? Is so did it work well? Or is there something better than forum members can recommend? want to do an coolant flush on my 1299 and wanted to see what...

hi i have a 1299s it over heated last week so started to take the bike apart noticed that the thermostat (squirter unit) is bored on the top and the thermostat pin is coming out and bike is leaking coolant from there.... are there any company out there that make this part out of aluminium? thanks

Hey guys just curious what coolant you run in the V4. I was thinking of putting water wetter in just to keep it cooler. Any thoughts?

I was doing an oil change on my 899 and realized coolant leaking out of this hole. It looks like it's a plug. Pic is taken from left side and left upper fairing is removed. Can anyone provide any input? Did the sealant on the threads just go bad?

Does anyone know the capacity of the OEM coolant overflow catch tank? Unfortunately mine has a tiny crack. I see that motion pro makes one at 275cc for $20. If this would work for me I see it to be much easier than tracking down a replacement OEM one (as well as more cost effective). Unless...

2012 1199 with 16000 miles (15000 service complete). I've had an oil leak for a few months now, I am not very mechanically inclined and am having difficulty figuring out where it is from. From my research it appears cylinder head leaks are common as well as oil leaking from the airbox to crack...

NEED HELP... replacing coolant fluid on my 1299 I need to replace my coolant fluid on my 1299 and i have no idea how.. can someone help? just need instructions.

After investigating my 1199's radiator after a 12 month garage standstill, I noticed the previous Castrol coolant had crystallised into some "Pink Himalayan" salts / gue. As the radiator taps & rubber hoses were filled with this pink stuff, I flushed out the system with some fresh coolant. I...

Anyone swapped to water wetter or equivalent? Any special process for getting air out of the system that should be adhered to? Where is the drain? Would like to swap mine out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I know there's plenty of info on the forum about the procedure but there are also many different opinions and most of the times the subject changes towards what to use (water wetter, engine ice, honda, agip, etc) I would like to know, straight to the point, what's the proper procedure...

As you know it's a "bar graph" now instead of the actual temperature. What's the hottest you've seen when riding? I'm still breaking in the second bike and was doing some city rides today. I live downtown so unfortunately have to go through traffic everytime I go home. I was riding the...

Doesn't seem to be a high pressure leak. Coolant will generally pool a few hours after a ride. Cracked Thermostat/Squirter?

I've been riding my 2016 1299 for 6000 miles and I decided to check the coolant level. I really wasn't worried about it but I thought I'd check. I looked at the coolant window and didn't see anything. So I thought, "I'd better put more coolant in quick". I removed the right side fairing and...

Hey guys, I've been monitoring a minor coolant leak in behind one of the culver heads. The leak is not between the Clyde but at the rear of the bike ontop of the transmission case. Over the last few months I would wish the bike and rings the area. Constantly there is about 10ml of coolant...

Issue just started recently with 2012 1199 - After shutoff when hot (~200F) coolant reservoir tank bubbles and overflows via the lower fairing overflow tube. I've been reading that this is most likely a leak in the coolant system. Have not been seeing smoke in the exhaust or leaks anywhere so...

Since there are some discussions about engine ice and coolant temperatures, I figured this should be brought up too. I was searching for more way to reduce the heat from my bike and came across this. Couldn't fine any review on it so, please let's know what you think on this product. DC01 -...
