Oil change

[JPhillips]

I am just about to change the oil on my 750ie and wondered if anyone had the torque setting for the sump plug? Also, does anyone know how much oil it will take?

3.3 Litres from dry
Sump plug should be torqued to 42 Nm (same as the filter screen plug and its cover)
Don't foreget to get a new crush washer for the sump plug.

Thanks. And I would have forgot the crush washer!!

[JPhillips]

You mention 'filter screen plug and it's cover'! Where is that? It's been a long time since I have done this myself as you may guess!
I don't suppose as well you know what size the crush washers are?

I have posted a thread for a workshop manual....I think it's needed!

try http://www.duc.nu/manuals

the washer is the size a Ducati dealer/specialist sells you, I'm afraid I dont know off the top of my head but the sum plug is a 22mm thread if that helps.

the filter screen is below the oil sight-glass

Thanks for your help.

Just changing the oil and filter, that link of yours slob is very handy, was lacking a workshop manual!

Oldy but a goody (Both you and the thread heheh)
