S2R 1000 oil change... confidence needed

alastairS2R · 28-01-2015, 07:06 PM

I really need to change the oil in my S2R 1000. As mentioned in the previous S2R 800 thread I'll pop along to Street Bike and get the correct filter and oil.

However I'm looking for any tips or advice on how not to f*** it up. I've watched a few videos on oil changes on various monsters so I know the tools and kit I need.

Is there anything else I should look out for? Thanks

It's fairly straight forward, having the right tools makes it easier. Warm the bike up so the oil will flow out nicely, but not to hot that you will get oil burns. Turn engine off, Clean container so you can check the oil, remove oil filler cap, take out the sump plug, bottom, and the tube filter on side and remove oil filter,, put the kettle on have a cuppa and dream abut your next ride, check oil for any metal filings make sure you have new washers for the plugs. Little bit of clean oil on the rubber seal on filter before you refit and tighten to 12-15 NM (PLEASE CHECK THIS TORQUE) Clean the engine where the oil filter seals to and check the old seal is not still attached to the engine. Refill and check for leaks

Good luck

and usually a little top up after first run and letting it settle for a few minutes

make sure you use a deep (enough) socket on the filter screen, otherwise you risk damaging the electrical connector for the temperature sender

The only problem I had doing my oil last year was removing the old filter, the filter itsef began to tear open so a decent filter tool would be recommended- not the chainsaw type that I had.

The new filter was smaller(as in less tall) than the old one too but it was the correct one, just a different shape.

get a K and N oil filter to replace the one you have and they have a nut built in to the end of it to aid removal.

I might be a bit finicky - but I also remove the oil cooler and drain the old manky oil from that
too. As for removing the oil filter - I use a tool bought from Halfords, it is a band of spring steel strip in a holder that has a wheel to tighten the strip around the filter. It works perfectly and was relatively cheap. My filter of choice is the Hi Flo 153 - the gasket is already pre-coated in oil and has a protective cover. Good luck!

If your bike has a non-standard exhaust fitted you may not be able to remove the filter/drain plug without first removing the exhaust.

+1 for K&N oil filter. A lot easier.

Dirty · 30-01-2015, 07:51 AM

+2 for K&N, the nut is very useful however I never had a problem removing them before. I always used the screw driver and hammer method.

alastairS2R · 01-02-2015, 07:58 AM

Thank you, this has done exactly what I needed. But I have a few further questions.

The videos I watched didn't clearly deal with the washers. A second video did mention them as 'crush washers'. I'll head over to the Ducati shop and get the bits. I'll also make a list of the tools needed and a procedure and check back here before I do the deed.

Thanks again for all your help with this.

They are soft alloy washers - two different sizes. One fits on the sump drain plug, the other on the mesh oil strainer cover. Good (and correct!) practice to replace them everytime to prevent any leaks.

Aluminium foil to wrap over exhaust
2 x new washers - sump plug and oil screen access - bought from Ducati
3 or 4 litres oil
small jug and funnel
10mm allen for sump plug
21mm spanner for oil screen cover removal
14mm allen for oil screen removal
Torque spanner
40-44 Nm for sump plug (43Nm) - oil screen and cover
funnel for oil in

1. Warm the bike up a bit - ?55 65 or 75?
2. wrap some foil around the exhaust pipe for oil drips
3. Place oil catch pot under sump plug, 5 ltr container with the side cut out
remove oil filler cap
4. use 10mm allen wrench to loosen then remove the sump plug, oil drains out
5. Check sump plug for magnetic attachments, wipe off
6. make a cup of tea….
7. hold the bike upright to get the last of the oil out - 5 minutes
8. use suitable wrench to loosen and remove the oil filter
9. allow oil and filter to drain and put old filter in new filter box
10. check the rubber seal from the oil filter hasn’t stuck in the oil filter seat
11. put a little oil on the new filter rubber seal & put a small amount of new oil in the filter - ? how much should I put in?
12. screw in the new oil filter to hand tight - ?how much is that?
13. disconnect the temperate sensor wire
14. use the 21mm spanner to remove the oil screen cover
15. use 14mm allen to remove oil screen
16. Check and clean oil screen
17. refit oil screen tighten to torque 43Nm
18. replace oil screen cover to torque 43Nm
19. re-attached temperature sensor wire
20 insert and tighten sump plug to 43Nm
21. Add oil until the correct level is reached in the window
22. replace oil filler cap
23. run engine for 3-5 minutes
24. check oil level, top up if necessary
25. ....and rest, then go out on the bike

slob · 08-02-2015, 06:16 PM

1. 50c is enough, as long as it's warm the old oil flows out easily
2. i never bother, just spray with brake cleaner to clean up afterwards
11. as much as you can. go slowly, it glugs in and overflows readily
12. as tight as you can by hand! (i give mine another quarter turn with a big set of grips/filter wrench)
14. i have a funny feeling it's 25mm, double check before you start
17/18. i'll check my manual later, that sound very tight
23a. check for leaks

Mr Gazza · 08-02-2015, 06:17 PM

Wow...That's how you suck eggs....

...I never thought of putting foil over the exhaust, nor filling the filter before replacing it...All makes sense.

43Nm sounds a lot though .. Must check that.

slob · 08-02-2015, 06:22 PM

my book says 42nm (38-46) for both
