Hi ! I just I bought Multistrada 1260s from 2019 with 14 000 miles. I know that is powerfull V-twin and it likes to stay above 3,500rpms but…below that 3,5 rpms when i open the throttle, whole display i shaking like crazy :/ is that normal ? Thank you for your videos !!
@MouldyPIX8 күн бұрын
Can I ask if this is your first v-twin? Yes, there are vibrations if you open up and go full-throttle from say 2,500 rpm, but I wouldn’t say it’s excessive or any different from say a KTM SAS or similar.. How is it if you roll on smoothly?

That’s very interesting Kelvin because yes I have exactly the same problem. And to be honest it’s driving me crazy! Both me and my mechanic friend - Andy at L2 - have been trying to resolve it for months now. I’m just awaiting for a “Ducati” branded front 15t sprocket and a new chain to be fitted. I usually use 3rd party sprockets (15/42) and a DID chain (Z-VMX 530 116-link), but this time I’ll fit a new chain (another DID Z-VMX) with the Ducati OEM sprocket to see if that sorts the issue. Up til now I’ve changed the rear sprocket carrier cush rubber bolts as a couple of those had cracks in them, but that didn’t wholly sort the issue. Once I’ve sorted it I’ll upload another video, but do let me know how you get on!

Thanks for your review on the PR6 GT Trevor. With the front supposedly lasting longer than the rear, Id have to battle my own OCD whenever it comes to replacing the rear! It is also surprising you get similar rear mileage compared to the non-GT version. However, I think I will give it a go when Michelins start to appear in NZ. Current ETA is somewhere October but hoping my tires don't go 90 degrees to the square! Again, your reviews on high mileage 1260s also gives me (and hopefully others) a shot of confidence.

Ahhh the tyres... Never one right answer is there... I have to say that I've tried many over the years and I think the Scorpion Trail tyres that came as standard on these bikes are still the best choice for me. I do way less miles than you however and probably more weekend twisty rides than longer journeys. It's always about the finer differences rather than the bulk similarities. I've always just found the Michelin tyres to be a 'little' more wooden in the bends and develop a slightly triangular profile if you push them in the bends more than the covering the miles over time.

HI Trevor, just chanced on your video, starting with the comparison between the XR. I currently own the same bike as you (marvellous machine) but looking to change to the '24 S1000XR. But seeing your videos, I might just change my mind. Do you have any feedback on the PR6 GT? I was on the normal PR6 and went to the Pirelli Angel GT II, which gave me quite a bit of low speed wobbles, most noticeably moving off. I've been wanting to get back to the PRs but there appears to have some dealership issues here in the Land Of The Long White Cloud. However, word's on the streets is that supply of Michelin tires will be back within a couple of months. Wanting to hear how you feel about the PR6GT and their longevity. Bike has now done 43k kms over 5 years and I've had to have a shim added during the Desmo. Other than a failed quickshifter and an oil leak due to a worn top gasket, the bike is absolutely flawless. Which makes it really hard (and now with your video) to make the change to the BMW; cannot find a compelling reason to change. Keen to hear back!

Hi Trevor, Great to hear from you again, thank you so much for your super informative videos. May I ask you a question please? I’ve got a six day trip planned on my 1260s to the Black Forest and Vosges Mountains, solo, but was wondering what your luggage set-up of choice would be? I see you were using the top box in the earlier part of this video, but was wondering if the two side panniers and a tail bag may be better to keep the centre of gravity lower? Have you got any view on this please, considering you seem to do many continental tours. Appreciate any tips, Thank you, Paul.
@MouldyPIX26 күн бұрын
Hey Paul, sounds like a great trip! Both the Vosges and Black Forest are two of my favourite regions. I was in the Vosges a few years back with a few mates, we based ourselves at a super Moto Hotel in Bussang (Moto-hotel Col de Bussang) run by Dimi and his wife - highly recommended. They’re a Dutch couple who opened a few years ago and some of their friends designed some tour routes which are on their website all with .GPX files etc. make sure you take in the Grand Ballon! I also did the Deutsch Alpine Strasse route last year through the Black Forest through to Austria, again awesome! For both these trips I packed pretty much the same, both were 7-8 day tours. In the past I’ve experimented with the Kriega system, using both the 30ltr and 20ltr bags stacked on the pillion. But to be honest I’ve pretty much binned them, too much hassle getting them on/off. So my setup now is to use both the standard top box and side panniers. I also have a couple of SW-MOTECH tank bags. For day-to-day use I use the PRO DAYPACK (5l-8l), but for touring I put on the PRO CITY DAYPACK (11l-14l). But more recently I’ve also been taking my Kriega 25l backpack to keep my Scott Waterproofs in (as I much prefer touring in jeans and my Klim Marrakesh jacket) and some waterproof gloves etc. In the top box I keep all my clothes/shoes and overnight gear plus iPad chargers etc, so when I arrive at the hotel it’s a simple case of opening up the top box and pulling out one bag! In the right (smaller pannier) I tend to keep all my tools, battery tyre pump, chain lube, oil (usually 2ltr), coolant (yes I take 1lt of coolant 🤦🏻♂️) and wheel nuts socket (v heavy!). The other pannier I use for my camera gear, drone etc, it also has spare space for the odd “purchase” I might make whilst away!! 🤣 Anyway that’s pretty much how I load up for most tours now, you’ll find a big difference in the handling of the bike once it’s full loaded, but you can still push the bike in the corners it’s amazing how the Skyhook copes with extra weight. However when I was last in the Vosges for a few days we took our luggage off and went for a proper blast..so good without the extra weight! Have a great trip, I’m sure you will…and let me know how you get on! 👌👌👌
@paulbuckingham798623 күн бұрын
Hi Trevor, Thank you very much indeed for the detailed reply. Your luggage set up is pretty much what I’ve settled on as well, I’ve agonised over other options and have also tried the Kriega pack on the pillion seat. I like the security that the hard panniers offer in that you can lock them up when stopping for coffee etc safe in the knowledge that they’re more secure than soft luggage strapped down. They do add a fair bit of weight, but I guess that’s the trade off. Also like you I’m a massive fan of my Klim Marrakesh, along with a pair of Rokker jeans, they’re just so much more comfortable and nicer when you stop for a break. I bought a pair of the Knox gloves with the Boa system you recommended a while ago, also really pleased with those. Thanks for the tip on the hotel to stay at, I’ll take at it look with interest. On this trip I’ve bought the route from Simon Weir so I travel from place to place-place, covering around 200 miles per day. I’ve amended and fine tuned in My Route App, so it’s good to go. Really looking forward to it, head off at the end of July - probably scorching hot! I’ve been ruminating over a Kriega Hydro Pack Trevor, do you use anything like that on your tours, or do you just rehydrate once stopped? Once again I’d like to thank you for taking the time in putting your videos together, having the same bike I’ve found them the most useful resource online. Keep up the good work mate, All the best, Paul

Then the 18,000 (or 5 years) for the full on Desmo service where the belts are changed and the valve clearances are checked - circa £1,000+ Good luck…and let me know which bike you go for! 🔴⚪️🟢 (obvs..🤣)

Fork seals will not leak from not changing the fork oil but you will wear out the bushings inside the fork tubes. The seals do not eliminate microscopic dirt from being sucked into the forks. Fork oil will allow tiny dirt particles to accumulate on the tubes and due to fork stroking the micro dirt gets sucked in past the seals and dust caps. After 35K miles if you open the fork after removing the fork slider you will see actual black mud. On inverted forks, its even worse because that mud sits on the bushings and seals and not at the base of a slider.

Hi Trevor I ride an fjr 1300 and have always used the gt tyres from pirelli , Michelin , metzeler and currently Dunlop as the old girl comes in wet at 295 kg . I guess u know the only difference between the gt and non gt is the the thicker side wall which I guess may give a slightly firmer ride . I’ve also heard but may just be a bikers fable that if u get a puncture u can nurse the bike to a garage if not too far . I’m looking at the 1260 as a potential next bike . It seems your pretty happy with it and it’s been pretty reliable , after 100000 ks you’d know her inside out. Here in oz if we lose 12 points we can opt for good behaviour and keep riding but if we lose any points during the probation period we lose our license for double the original time ie in your case 12 months . At the end of probation if we’ve been good we start with a clean slate

Michelin road 6 for example is good ,but design is bad ..and that is" puncture magnet "all michelin is little bit on hype...Try Metzeler...that's is another level ...
Agreed on the puncture magnet!
Interesting I had to drop from standard 200 rear to 190 so could go back to my favourite Michelinroad 5 Used them on track on a street triple 675 cooked them . wouldn’t use road 5 on a superduke on track but great road tyre . Had Michelin power 5 on last wasn’t either one or other not long lasting . I used them on track on the duke wouldn’t use them on track again .
Can I ask what tyres you do use on track now?
@@MouldyPIX i only took the super duke on track once had I power 5 which I used on a tour I got almost 4k m out of them . They needed a bit of warming up on track not the grippiest felling tyre simulator consistent as s22. But S22 feel like can be pushed more to my track ability limit and rossos 2 and 4 . If only riding on the road then road 5 or 6 never used 6 is ideal Don’t need warming up . I’ve only toasted them on track when it was 36c day started to get gooey at the end of season. You never get that. Sort of heat in Them on the road .
I got my Multi V4 Rally with Pirelli Scorpion Trail II s and was very satisfied with them. With the Scorpion Trail III not available for the V4 Rally yet, I now, (after 19000 km) ride with Michelin Anakee Road s. So far I am also very satisfied with them. I am looking forward how much miles I will make with them.
Sounds like you ride a lot more off road than me! 🤣 I managed the Kielder Forest way a few months back..but that’ll do me for another year..black to the tarmac for me! 😆😆👌
@@MouldyPIX Well....☺ the tyre is advertised to be a 90/10 tyre. I use the 10 part occasionally for gravel roads but nothing more serious. When I watch the TET and ACT folks struggling to keep alive, that can't possibly be fun.
Hi Trevor, quick question: I find that my bike (exact same model and year with yours) appear to vibrate a little stronger going up an incline at the same RPM. Vibes comes through the foot pegs band they smooth out once the incline ends.. Have you experienced anything like that? Mine has been doing that since yonks ago but everything is still holding up after 5 years.. =)
That’s very interesting Kelvin because yes I have exactly the same problem. And to be honest it’s driving me crazy! Both me and my mechanic friend - Andy at L2 - have been trying to resolve it for months now. I’m just awaiting for a “Ducati” branded front 15t sprocket and a new chain to be fitted. I usually use 3rd party sprockets (15/42) and a DID chain (Z-VMX 530 116-link), but this time I’ll fit a new chain (another DID Z-VMX) with the Ducati OEM sprocket to see if that sorts the issue. Up til now I’ve changed the rear sprocket carrier cush rubber bolts as a couple of those had cracks in them, but that didn’t wholly sort the issue. Once I’ve sorted it I’ll upload another video, but do let me know how you get on!
@@MouldyPIXahh… I don’t feel that lonely anymore! Let me know how you get on! But to be fair, I’ve only had one set of chains and sprocket change thus far but I’d be keen to hear if it works for you mate!
Thanks for your review on the PR6 GT Trevor. With the front supposedly lasting longer than the rear, Id have to battle my own OCD whenever it comes to replacing the rear! It is also surprising you get similar rear mileage compared to the non-GT version. However, I think I will give it a go when Michelins start to appear in NZ. Current ETA is somewhere October but hoping my tires don't go 90 degrees to the square! Again, your reviews on high mileage 1260s also gives me (and hopefully others) a shot of confidence. Keep up the good work and looking to see more of your videos
Great video.very informative.btw what means HT leads? I had a crack in the rubber tube to upper MAP sensor. Caused also misfire. Not easy to find but a cheap error. I drive a 1200DVT from 2015. 60000km.. regards from Austria
Hi, the HT (high tension) leads are the cables from the coil-pack to the spark plug. The front cylinder lead is exposed to the weather much more so than the vertical cylinder and is prone to corrosion and cracking. I’ve had to replace the front HT lead twice now.
@@MouldyPIX thanks for your information. I got a bad misfire at very high revs +8k. Now i ordered all 4 HT leads. In your case it was always the main cable on the front cylinder? Could you visually see any problems on this cable? Thank you and regards
Amazing Trevor , your content on the 1260 is probably the best when it comes to long term ownership, coincidentally I have just ordered a pair of road fives for my 1260 pikes peak as the rear (Pirelli Scorpion trail 2 ) had developed a flat spot after a recent trip to Wales . I based my choice in part on your recommendation, my mate who has a tracer 7 may choose the power 5 as he wants more grip in the Twisties , I will let you know how we get on. I am also getting the front and rear break pads done - brembo pads, expensive but hopefully they will last long , I have done 1k miles after having bought it in Nov (it had 5400 on the clock then)
Many thanks Chaitanya, much appreciated. Look forward to your feedback with the ROAD 5’s..👌
I only like Michelin tyres they are the best end of
You are the best youtuber when coming to multi 1260s. Im from Brazil cheers for your content.
Many thanks, very humbling… ❤
Ahhh the tyres... Never one right answer is there... I have to say that I've tried many over the years and I think the Scorpion Trail tyres that came as standard on these bikes are still the best choice for me. I do way less miles than you however and probably more weekend twisty rides than longer journeys. It's always about the finer differences rather than the bulk similarities. I've always just found the Michelin tyres to be a 'little' more wooden in the bends and develop a slightly triangular profile if you push them in the bends more than the covering the miles over time.
HI Trevor, just chanced on your video, starting with the comparison between the XR. I currently own the same bike as you (marvellous machine) but looking to change to the '24 S1000XR. But seeing your videos, I might just change my mind. Do you have any feedback on the PR6 GT? I was on the normal PR6 and went to the Pirelli Angel GT II, which gave me quite a bit of low speed wobbles, most noticeably moving off. I've been wanting to get back to the PRs but there appears to have some dealership issues here in the Land Of The Long White Cloud. However, word's on the streets is that supply of Michelin tires will be back within a couple of months. Wanting to hear how you feel about the PR6GT and their longevity. Bike has now done 43k kms over 5 years and I've had to have a shim added during the Desmo. Other than a failed quickshifter and an oil leak due to a worn top gasket, the bike is absolutely flawless. Which makes it really hard (and now with your video) to make the change to the BMW; cannot find a compelling reason to change. Keen to hear back!
Hi Trevor, Great to hear from you again, thank you so much for your super informative videos. May I ask you a question please? I’ve got a six day trip planned on my 1260s to the Black Forest and Vosges Mountains, solo, but was wondering what your luggage set-up of choice would be? I see you were using the top box in the earlier part of this video, but was wondering if the two side panniers and a tail bag may be better to keep the centre of gravity lower? Have you got any view on this please, considering you seem to do many continental tours. Appreciate any tips, Thank you, Paul.
Hey Paul, sounds like a great trip! Both the Vosges and Black Forest are two of my favourite regions. I was in the Vosges a few years back with a few mates, we based ourselves at a super Moto Hotel in Bussang (Moto-hotel Col de Bussang) run by Dimi and his wife - highly recommended. They’re a Dutch couple who opened a few years ago and some of their friends designed some tour routes which are on their website all with .GPX files etc. make sure you take in the Grand Ballon! I also did the Deutsch Alpine Strasse route last year through the Black Forest through to Austria, again awesome! For both these trips I packed pretty much the same, both were 7-8 day tours. In the past I’ve experimented with the Kriega system, using both the 30ltr and 20ltr bags stacked on the pillion. But to be honest I’ve pretty much binned them, too much hassle getting them on/off. So my setup now is to use both the standard top box and side panniers. I also have a couple of SW-MOTECH tank bags. For day-to-day use I use the PRO DAYPACK (5l-8l), but for touring I put on the PRO CITY DAYPACK (11l-14l). But more recently I’ve also been taking my Kriega 25l backpack to keep my Scott Waterproofs in (as I much prefer touring in jeans and my Klim Marrakesh jacket) and some waterproof gloves etc. In the top box I keep all my clothes/shoes and overnight gear plus iPad chargers etc, so when I arrive at the hotel it’s a simple case of opening up the top box and pulling out one bag! In the right (smaller pannier) I tend to keep all my tools, battery tyre pump, chain lube, oil (usually 2ltr), coolant (yes I take 1lt of coolant 🤦🏻♂️) and wheel nuts socket (v heavy!). The other pannier I use for my camera gear, drone etc, it also has spare space for the odd “purchase” I might make whilst away!! 🤣 Anyway that’s pretty much how I load up for most tours now, you’ll find a big difference in the handling of the bike once it’s full loaded, but you can still push the bike in the corners it’s amazing how the Skyhook copes with extra weight. However when I was last in the Vosges for a few days we took our luggage off and went for a proper blast..so good without the extra weight! Have a great trip, I’m sure you will…and let me know how you get on! 👌👌👌
Hi Trevor, Thank you very much indeed for the detailed reply. Your luggage set up is pretty much what I’ve settled on as well, I’ve agonised over other options and have also tried the Kriega pack on the pillion seat. I like the security that the hard panniers offer in that you can lock them up when stopping for coffee etc safe in the knowledge that they’re more secure than soft luggage strapped down. They do add a fair bit of weight, but I guess that’s the trade off. Also like you I’m a massive fan of my Klim Marrakesh, along with a pair of Rokker jeans, they’re just so much more comfortable and nicer when you stop for a break. I bought a pair of the Knox gloves with the Boa system you recommended a while ago, also really pleased with those. Thanks for the tip on the hotel to stay at, I’ll take at it look with interest. On this trip I’ve bought the route from Simon Weir so I travel from place to place-place, covering around 200 miles per day. I’ve amended and fine tuned in My Route App, so it’s good to go. Really looking forward to it, head off at the end of July - probably scorching hot! I’ve been ruminating over a Kriega Hydro Pack Trevor, do you use anything like that on your tours, or do you just rehydrate once stopped? Once again I’d like to thank you for taking the time in putting your videos together, having the same bike I’ve found them the most useful resource online. Keep up the good work mate, All the best, Paul
Hi Trevor, I had viewed these series of videos before buying my 1260 pikes peak, super helpful info. Question on the tyre choice - i currently have pirelli scoropion trail tyres but the rear its on its last legs. I heard you mention that you were about to put Mich Road 6 on your multi - would you recommend them? I mostly do dry riding , sometimes some spirited riding on the b roads, but do want the tyre to perform if I run into rain etc .. - would love to hear your thoughts
I’ve run Michelin Road 5 & 6’s on the bike ever since I bought it. The Pirelli Scorpions were awful (IMO!), so I would have no hesitation recommending the Road 6’s or Road 6 GT’s. However I’m just about to post up a short video on the Michelin Power 6’s which I fitted recently - now done 500 miles of dry running and I absolutely love them. Very different to the Road 6’s which is a bit of a surprise. Keep watching, I’ll try to post up in the next few days to explain why! 👌👌
You certainly got your money's worth from this bike, which is just as well, as I imagine it's probably worth around £2k now with 80k Miles! if anyone would even buy it, so let's hope it continues to look after you for Years to come 😁
I have a 1000DS and it always run it on Pilot Powers it rips on my local North wales roads
I’m loving my new Michelin Power 6’s - 500 miles on them…little video coming v soon! 👌
Good video 👍
Thanks 👍
I'm 28, and I have just sold my 1200GSA 2019(after 4 weeks. It wasn't for me) and am in the process of selling my XSR900. I've narrowed my next work hourse down to the 1260S or S1000XR TE. Then no idea what I'd have as a summer toy. Could you explain the service intervals for the 1260? Is it every 9k for a general service and 18k for its big desmo service? Thanks and love the channel.
2 great bikes, so you’ve got a hard choice my friend! My brother has an XR, so check out the “head-to-head” video I did last year if you haven’t already! You’re correct, the 1260s service interval is 9,000 for an interim “oil/filter service”, usually fairly inexpensive. Then the 18,000 (or 5 years) for the full on Desmo service where the belts are changed and the valve clearances are checked - circa £1,000+ Good luck…and let me know which bike you go for! 🔴⚪️🟢 (obvs..🤣)
@@MouldyPIX Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely keep in touch. If the 1260s reviews are anything to go by, that'll be the choice. I think coming from a GS, torque is important.. saying that, who doesn't love a screaming I4. I have 2 test rides booked next week. Have a great weekend.
So no shims needed 4 times in a row what a waste of money having them checked ,a dealers con saying they need doing at all
So it is possible 😅 a ducati with many many many miles. i own a MS DVT myself and its a great bike. Nice windscreen can you tell me which one it is?
Fab bike, can’t see me riding anything else for quite some time! Th screen is a PUIG Sport - light smoke version.
Trevor did you put standard gearing on ? or are you still 2 teeth up on the rear . I did the +2 rear (on your recommendation ) and I love the transformation of the bike , I also changes tire but I was going with the new Metzler Roadtech 2 and I am for now happy the are wery grippy and easy to change direction on ,and the should also last long ,but we will see .
Yeah stayed with the 15/42 sprocket setup, it’s perfect for this bike IMO. I had a mate who tried a 14/42 setup it was wild! ..but he’s since changed back to a 15 front set up! 😎 Glad the recommendation worked for you ! 👌
Just replaced my Michelin Road 6 GT's on my 1200S, were good for 8000 miles, being replaced somewhat early ahead of another Spain/France tour. The previous Pirelli Angel GT 2's lasted 5000. Fitted Power 5's on my Hyper, the rear lasted only 3000 miles before becoming very squirrelly in the wet, lovely and sticky but since replaced with Road 6's.
Cheers Red, yeah I don’t have any expectations that the Power 6’s will last more than 3,000 miles should be fun though!…they get fitted tomorrow 👌👌
There was a Multistrada 1200 at auction there,with 96.000mls...highest Ducati mileage I've ever seen!
In the US..? Was it crash damaged..?
@@MouldyPIX Scotland... whole n hearty
I have a 1200DVT 2015, approaching 50,000 miles, FSH with Ducati, three tours of Europe. New front seat and fuel sender, otherwise just wear and tear parts, running road 5 and third set of sprockets. don't have finances to travel atm. Still rides like new, amazing bikes. Good luck for 100K 👍🏻
What sort of security do you add, when travelling abroad ?? Thanks Gary.
…just trust the locals! In all the tours, miles and travels I’ve done I’ve never once had a problem. Just my experiences, but obviously take the security you deem necessary…
I was getting worried Trevor not hearing from you , thought she had died 😣 glad to she lives 😅🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌
Quick question. Timing belts, have you done many, gone over the suggested service intervals? I bought a 2018 1260, 2k miles on it and the dealer is really pushing that I do the belt due to age ASAP, I come from the auto world and know the damage belt failure can cause. Are Duc belts that crappy?
The belts on mine are changed pretty much annually as part of the Desmo service as I do approx 18,000 miles per annum. If your bike is 6 years old and hasn’t yet had a belt change then I would change them asap as your dealer has suggested. Also get your rear centric hub serviced too!
@@MouldyPIX On the matter of belts. What are the prices that you pay at the dealer for belts?
@@MouldyPIXwhy is it Ducati belts have to be changed much more frequently than other bikes? I have owned Yamahas with 60000kms on the original belt.
@@TierOperator approximately £110 per belt - 2 needed.

Thank you.
Been thinking about geting a 1260s but the 1250rs bmw and the s1000xr is always on my mind also 😆 Good to know these bikes will do bigger milage with out hassle.
Have you checked out my 1260s v BMW XR comparison video? My brother just happens to have a 2016 XR!
5-6,000 miles did I hear you say, 😂I've just changed the tyres on my V85TT at 16,500 miles. I was looking at changing it for the Multistrada V2 S but not so sure now. (And yes I know it has the smaller engine.) Anyway, nice update on the bike and glad to see someone else putting serious mileages on their bikes before changing them.
Power eats tires. I get 3000 miles on street tires on my S1KRR. When you buy a bike with that much power, tires and maintenance are just part of the experience. Definitely something to consider.
I’ve just ordered a set of Michelin Power 6’s for the summer! 3,000 miles max?! 🤣
I hate it for my brother's in the UK with the totalitarian laws you all live under. How the government is in EVERY aspect of your life is just sad. I hope it gets better for you all soon.
Thanks for your delude comment…appreciated. 🤦🏻♂️
@MouldyPIX well Jesus man, you guys have big brother watching everything you do. If you say the wrong thing online they arrest you, they have cameras up everywhere to keep you in line.
Those were alot of desmo maintenences
All part of the joy of Ducati ownership! 😉
@@MouldyPIX 😂😂😂😂
Possuo uma e está no momento com 36.000km está como nova. Rumo ao 100.000km😊
MTS 950(2017) - 14 shins were replaced at 90,000 km
It's funny. I ended up buying a BMW 1200 RS last year instead of a Multistrada, but I still like watching your videos! 😁👍🏼
…well at least it wasn’t a GS…🤣
Fork seals will not leak from not changing the fork oil but you will wear out the bushings inside the fork tubes. The seals do not eliminate microscopic dirt from being sucked into the forks. Fork oil will allow tiny dirt particles to accumulate on the tubes and due to fork stroking the micro dirt gets sucked in past the seals and dust caps. After 35K miles if you open the fork after removing the fork slider you will see actual black mud. On inverted forks, its even worse because that mud sits on the bushings and seals and not at the base of a slider.
Very intuitive…thanks. 👌
Gr8 video was worried about high mileage on my ducati multistrada but hearing you gives peace of mind cheers. Ride safe.
Hey Trevor. I have a 17 plate 1200s on 35000. Coming up for 2nd desmo. I had my forks fully serviced by Ftr suspension. Cracking job. I think my clutch plates may need replacing at next service, also front disc is making a noise when wheeling the bike around 😔
Hi Trevor, I'm a fellow Multistrada rider, love the bike, also banned for speeding for 3 months, just got back on the road, can I ask, what the ban do for your insurance premiums?
Hi David…just renewed my insurance. Premium has more than double from £300 pa to £750!
What gearing are you using? If changed, impression?
I’ve switched to a 15/42 sprocket set up. It makes 3rd gear usable at 30mph, gives more punch low down in the rev range and 6th is more usable at motorway speeds. Only downside is a slight loss of top-end speed, but I rarely get anywhere need these limits!
Thank you very helpful for those who don’t have the mileage you have.
Glad it was helpful!
Gracias trevor!! Tengo el modelo anterior 1200dvt, en el primer desmo solo tuve que cambiar algunas cuñas de ajuste de las válvulas, más de 30.000km y todo perfecto , es agradable ver que son motos muy fiables Respecto al guardabarros trasero en la 1260 se rompe por culpa de que el basculante trasero es 2.5cm más largo que en la 1200 , y acaba tocando el porta matrícula, en la 1200 no existe ese problema Gracias por el vídeo
Hi. 73.000km on mine. Mts 1200 enduro. I travel on it around Europe once a year and then use it on weekends. Not as a commuter. I am satisfied with it and it keeps running really smooth. It actually uses less oil the more km it has. Only problem that I had which is not mentioned by others is that moisture under the seat caused the wiring plug under the pillion seat to melt and the bike to stop. I found it myself as i was traveling at the moment. I attached the cables each on its own without the plug and bike worked fine ever since. Just came back from the trip so it will go to the dealer to get it fixed properly.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Alex. I’ve not heard of the the issue with the wiring under the pillion…I’ll keep an eye on mine in future..👌
Hi Trevor I ride an fjr 1300 and have always used the gt tyres from pirelli , Michelin , metzeler and currently Dunlop as the old girl comes in wet at 295 kg . I guess u know the only difference between the gt and non gt is the the thicker side wall which I guess may give a slightly firmer ride . I’ve also heard but may just be a bikers fable that if u get a puncture u can nurse the bike to a garage if not too far . I’m looking at the 1260 as a potential next bike . It seems your pretty happy with it and it’s been pretty reliable , after 100000 ks you’d know her inside out. Here in oz if we lose 12 points we can opt for good behaviour and keep riding but if we lose any points during the probation period we lose our license for double the original time ie in your case 12 months . At the end of probation if we’ve been good we start with a clean slate
Having the same issue -hoping the HT lead is a fix .The mechanic i spoke to says he has replaced 6 in the last couple of years1
