leak

I'm in the process of replacing the water pump on my Streetfighter V4S and wondering what RTV I should use for the pump. the consensus seems to be PermaTex Ultra black, but they also make an RTV specifically for water pumps. I would love some feedback, Thanks in advance

Hi guys, It was my first time doing an oil change and I might have overfilled (oil was nearly to the top of the sight glass) because after going for a 300kms ride, I noticed a small amount of oil leaking behind the bulk head cover and dripping onto the front sprocket cover. I have cleaned up...

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...

Hey guys, looks like another fun day of the Duc ownership. I'm looking to swap out the waterpump myself with the help of the workshop manual. I'm just curious if I can use something to hold the assemly while the impeller is removed and refitted. Ducati has two separate tools in the manual, one...

So I installed a Termi slip on this week on my bike. The Y pipe outlets were oblong and extremely tough to get into the muffler, after a bunch of cussing and pipe fitting procedures I got it to fit. Anyways, I had to apply a good bit of pressure which caused some leaks in the system, one on each...

Hi all, I am completely new to the Forum so hi to everyone. I bought new Ducati Multistrada 1260S in April 2019 and have been enjoying it a lot. Then, I suddenly discovered something what, it turned out, nobody can detect what it is. I send my bike to 2 different Ducati service stations and...

Just bought a 1098 off a good friend. After he transported it down we noticed a small oil leak. He swears this is a new development and I believe him. After I run the bike in my garage for 10 mins I don't see a drop... but when I pulled in after a 10 min ride it dropped about a water worth...

I go to pull the lower fairings off for an oil change and I see what appears to be a leak on the right side running down the oil sump. Any one with similar experience? I know about the dry clutch leak, does anyone have pics so that I can compare. I tried loading photos but comes back telling me...

Has anyone experienced a oil leak between the cylinder heads. It is not running down from a higher point or from a cylinder. Just pooling in the crankcase casting valley Appears to be a cross drilling from the right side crankcase has been drilled through It is probably in the proximity of...

Hope everyone had a safe and fun weekend. I was very lucky and got to ride the Tail of the Dragon over the weekend on a work trip so that was fun! So just a quick background on myself I am currently a test engineer for an automotive company called Local Motors we are currently in production...

Have any of you guys had a problem with fuel leaking from the bottom of the canister filter. Weather was very hot and tank level was high, but even so I would have though any fuel from expansion would have leaked from the drain hose, rather than from the canister! By the way the bike is UK...

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

Anyone have a Steering Dampner fluid leak issue on their V4? My shop found the leak and sent in for warranty replacment but told me I'll fine to ride it until the part comes in. Any thoughts??? I don't want any tank slapping episodes...

Has anyone else experienced an oil leak coming from the chain side of the engine... behind the black plastic cover and up. It is also running down on the rear header aswell? Also. My front brake went soft... I dont track... and I dont think I ride too hard on the streets. Is they any recalls...

Hi There! After help from an awesome user here (@Phl), I got my duck's tank up, and took care of my sulfated battery. But as I was charging it, I started to smell some gasoline...I thought it might be just in my head, or based on other parts of the engine....but when I closed the gas...

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?

Good Morning Everyone, Hoping someone can provide me some insight as to what hose this is that's leaking oil and how best to remove/repair it. Looking through the parts manual I can't find it anywhere. It's on the left side of the bike and looks like it goes into the top of the crank case...

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...

Just back from a ride and noticed the Brake fluid spilled all over the windscreen and the instrument panel display. Noticed the reservoir cap came loose and had it tighten it by hand. Even though I wiped it off as soon as I noticed, it looked like the brake fluid already ate through the plastic...

Need help chasing down an oil leak. I know it seems like it would be obvious but air flow blows the oil all over and I cant tell where it is originating from. Leaks oil all over right side engine case but only after a couple miles of riding, not while sitting. I have replaced and sealed front...
