My S2R 800

I have something like this and it's quite bright and Red!

For indicators I have Lightech sequential LEDs

Another year, another advisory for a noisy exhaust and a photo or 2.



Plans for the new year include fitting these, just need new pads



The other one is trying to stop it leaking oil from the filter. I've done loads over the years and never had a problem before but this new filter just isn't playing ball. Both are 'Ducatimondo' and having looked, it's different to the old one and has a number of 'tabs' sticking into the groove where the seal goes near the rivets. There's also a very small dent on the inner rim between 1 and 2 o'clock.

Old on the right, new on the left



The seating surface is fine on the engine so who knows if these tabs are causing the problem (the seal sits proud of them) but the old one didn't leak this one does. For the sake of a few quid I may be investing in another filter, anyone recommend one? K&N perhaps?

[Mark64]

+1 for k&n oil filter, I only get them because they have a hexagon on the bottom for ease of fitting and removal, it makes them much easier to tighten and they have to be pretty tight to prevent minor oil leaks.
Happy New year & happy monstering

What started out as me popping into the shed for 5 minutes to see how tight the front disk bolts were on the bike, quickly went from...



to this



The disc bolts all came out fairly easily with the brand new Halfords torx bit and lots of gently pressure and so one thing led to another.

Do S2r 1000 hoses fit or are there others that will, presumably if they've got a 90 degree bend at the bottom then they should. If anyone has a link that'd be great.

Also, do I need anything special to replace the bolts in the calipers. The ones in there are a bit rough and it'd be nice to swap them for new plated ones.

I'm just fitting some of these, I like the Hel lines anyway. all stainless fittings as standard.
They are twin lines with a double length banjo bolt(supplied) rather than a single line from the master to a tee. It's a cheaper way to do it.

You could also try OHAMotorsport in Down NI.. Very nice outfit, also Hel lines.

Ordered custom lines from these people and they were with me a couple of days later - they even added an ebay listing so I could buy a set for the Mito ! Absolute pleasure to deal with.

Hoses are now fitted, I asked for them to be shorter than stock with 90 degree bends at the bottom, however after much faffing, I've put them on 'upside down' so the 90 degree bends are at the top and 45 degree bends at the bottom. The right way round meant that they hit the mud guard and tbh, it looks better from the master cylinder that way. They were a pain to bleed though as the hoses run horizontal from the master cylinder. Pics to follow when it isn't raining.

So that's the suspension done, brakes done, it has loads of carbon fibre bits, full termis plus dynojet and so on so it's done then ! Finally completed and it needs nothing else !

Err, no the tank continues to swell so I need to sort that properly but the only problem is that 'properly' probably means a metal tank...

[Mr Gazza]

I'm glad OHAMotorsport looked after you. I really like dealing with them.
Not sure if you realised that with the Hel lines, you can rotate the banjos relative to the ends of the lines by gripping them firmly in two pairs of good pliers and gently but firmly twisting them round. It's very handy to be able to take the twist out of the lines and line the banjos up perfectly.

I've bought Titanium from Titan Classics; very good quality. I'm colluding with the owner to get the correct stainless or Ti R-clips made for the pad pins. Having only been able to find the correct size in BZP.

I also get on well with RSR Moto who stock some nice Ti bolts, again very good quality and good to deal with.

I recently changed my pad pins to titanium ones, I think from the same place but I found the r clips on the old pins were already stainless, not sure if they were standard Brembo they looked ok and not damaged so I re-used them.

Good luck with the tank,I have the same problem with my S4RS. There are second hand tanks available but can be expensive.

I was sent this link from my cousin http://thetankshop.com/ but haven't pursued it yet and not sure in fact if they are still in operation.If you make any progress please let me know.

I am sad to say my S2R 1000 tank has succumbed to the curse over the winter too ! Not swelling but what I can only describe as a rash.......... like all over the tank. When I took the cover off I thought it was condensation.

I have come to the same conclusion as you both, if you are interested I have contacted a guy in Italy who will oblige.....I am trying to make sense of import taxes at the moment before I place an order. let me know if you want details..... dont want to hi- jack the thread... sorry Anthony .

The angle on the 1000 master cylinder banjo is different from the 800. The orientation of the banjo bolt is the same, but the banjo angle is different. Strange. My guess is that the 1000 lines will work, but if that's not good enough for you -> custom lines

Caliper bolts - ProBolt have them. Easy to strip the old ones. LOTS of WD40 or similar. Leave for a day or two. Replace one at a time to avoid air in the calipers.

[stopintime]

BTW

the 800 15mm master will feel and work mushy with the new calipers. Either the same 'coffin' master, but up to 16mm from stock 15 - - - or new master. Which in it's turn might decide which lines you'll need....

[Darren69]

You should be able to get away with using the 1000 lines, I would have thought.

I think these are the right bolts.

Titanium Caliper bolts:-

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-Br...Cclp%3A2334524

I used stainless ones, but I can't find the link.

[Blah blah]

Jeez, do caliper bolts come with scene tax then?

8 stainless of an unknown grade for £32 from a motorbike shop or 10 with a low head from a bolt supplier for £7 ! or the price of 1 titanium bolt !!

Plated 8.8 are even less.

I know you pays your money and take your choice but I can't see why they are 4 times the price, more investigation is required...

[Darren69]

I think anything Ti is fairly expensive due to the increased manufacturing costs especially for special sized items, but £7.00 a bolt does seem a little excessive. I would shop around. Usual standard sized Ti bolts are not so bad usually, but still pricey when compared to stainless.
