@mike148r You'll probably have to redo that oil change. :( Make sure:

1) you are using the right filter, probably so, since Ducati really have only one filter, I think

2) Clean the filter mount on the engine with rag so that no dirt can get between your filter seal and the mount surface.

3) Did you oil the O ring on the filter before you twist it on? Dry seal could cause some leak.

That's all I can think of. Good luck.

Hi all,

I have a 2011 monster and i the 10mm drain plug dont seem to be there! Is the drain plug the one below the oil screen plug??

[slntdth42]

@Deadpoetic6 Sorry I'm not sure what the new 2011 model looks like. But there should be some sort of plug at the lowest point of the engine case. May not take a 10mm allen key, but may take something else. Good luck.

@Deadpoetic6 Actually one more person commented:

"FYI everyone, on the 2010 they changed the drain plug. Its a 12 mm bolt with a 5mm Allen head. Even easier to strip! Could not find a torque value. Even my dealer had no clue. Tight is good I guess."

So look for that. :)

nice video, your oil is really clear, i really dont think u need an oil change

[slntdth42]

@rejneesh It is the first oil change as per schedule (600 miles / 1000km). This is a must do maint item, mainly to clean out the majority of the break-in debris (metal shavings) from the oil.

Where did you get the OEM ducati filter, crush washers for drain bolt and screen?

[reyesorozco]

I'm probably going to get a monster soon, gonna take care of her myself so these videos are really helpful (:

@slntdth42 Since it was the first 1000km oil change how did you get rid of the service signal light? I had to ride my to the dealer to turn off that signal light.

Yes i did everything that you said but it also has a hard time starting sometimes with low fuel and leaks then. Do you have the same problem????
