Restless & Curious that would be me.
I am driving a Multistrada 950 since summer 2018 and honestly, there are not much owner long term reviews out there.
I want to share my experience with my baby and much more....
This will all be about gadgets, changes, costs, tests, travel ..........
By the way - I'm Nicolai
Welcome to my channel!!!!

Hi how many km before the cable snap?
Thanks for the video, is pretty good with a lot of useful information. From Buenos Aires, my best!
The belly pan is essential IMO. I've only done some gentle off-roading on gravel roads and the paint is chipped and scored. I wouldn't trust the original plastic one.
Do you still ride with the stock mirrors? I threw mine away immediately and fitted adventure mirrors that provide plenty of adjustment and can be easily removed without any tools.
Hi, many thanks for the video. I’m having issues with the installation of the upper chain sliding shoe. Any idea how to replace it?
Hi ! what is Puig model/Number of that Puig windshield ? Thank yo !
you do NOT change your tyre pressures because you have changed your tyres. you should run the pressure stated on your VEHICLE tyre placard. optimal pressure depends on teh bike, not the tyre.
Seriously... just go to the real Monaco, Cannes, etc. That is beautiful. And let Dubai be Dubai: go to the desert, go to Liwa, the omani mountain etc. But that hotel is plain ugly with ugly beach. With nothing to do except being stuck at the pool.
So I put a set on my BMW 1250 GSA. It's a 50/50 tire. You could argue 60/40. They are good in the dirt. They are good on the tight street stuff. They make a loud "HMM" noice from 75-85 mph...very obnoxious. Then I got a flat rear in the dirt in the middle of no where that was not fixable. It ripped longways in the middle, across the knobs. I was being very aggressive in the rocky terrain, so I blamed myself for pushing too hard. I got a new rear and about 600 miles later I got another flat in the middle of no where..same deal, it split in the middle...no puncture. I was not being aggressive as I was scared of a flat....it flatted anyway. Do NOT buy these tires for a big heavy adventure bike like the 1250 GSA, unless you just putt putt around. These tires suck and are a hazard. I do like the way they handle, but they are not worth getting stranded. Take my advise! Cheers!
Hi! Can I ask you about your measures (height, chest, arms...) and size of the knox jacket? I believe you did not mention them. Thank you.
But using K&N air filter last for lifetime…U just have to wash it periodicaly…
I have searched the web for a long time to see any failed SW Motech Street Rack & their TRAX ADV 38 L top case, couldn't find any references so I went for it. After not exceeding max capacity of 5 kilos (Apparently almost enough storage of clothes for two adults for two days.) and use by my pillion as a backrest over 1500 KMs of highway riding, there was zero flex or rattle. It didn't even budge. I'll update if anything catastrophic happens but I don't assume it will. And it is the best option if you wish to match an aluminum top case and original Ducati plastic side panniers. Plus it doubles as a wonderful platform for a duffel soft bag, which I use in combination with side panniers. Allows me to be very flexible and light when I need to be.
Which are the best tyres for multistrada 950?
İ have a question if we change the w number for fork oil like 15w what will changes in 950? Thanks in advance
Tks for the video....amazing! A question: is the comfort seat wider or only higher? All the best!
Very nice detailed review. Thank you. A question: did you ride S model before you bought 950? I am in a decision making point whether should I go for S or standard model. Thank you
War gerade auf der suche nach guten reviews zu der Jacke, danke für das Video. Hab gedacht ich seh nicht richtig als ich das Kennzeichen gesehen habe. Grüße aus dem Landkreis Heidenheim :)
What footpegs do you have on your MS950S - I cant seem to see a brand name on the video, thanks
Beautiful
sick, im gonna make it out there one day
me too
ur accent is gnarly
You're a rude little man.
Thank you friend! Question: 150mm from the edge of the pipe to the oil? Greetings from Russia.
Really strange pressure numbers... and STR it's not knobby tire, I suppose its "knobbylike" I use 2,2 and 2,4 on front rear, and its perfect. On KTM1290 SAR rear wont last more than 8000km, with "pedal to the metal". But its wonderfull... noisy but wonderfull
I have the same bike and honestly the handlebar vibrations are OK. however the vibration on the seat and between the crotch is something I’m looking to reduce
❤❤❤❤
How many kms finally you did on those tyres?
Those are very low pressures to run on anything but off-road Nicolai. Yes, you will get great traction on loose surfaces with 23 PSI, but that pressure will allow them to wear MUCH quicker than running higher pressures on the asphalt. Tyre wear relates to temperature, which is a function of the distortion of the tyre in use, and softer pressures allow more distortion of the tyre, and generate more heat, and therefore wear. Can I suggest you try your next tyres at Front 33 and Rear 36 PSI on the asphalt, and only the lower pressures off road? One of the small compressors now available make this easy when the road goes back to asphalt, after the off-road section. I run about 28 PSI front and 30 rear for off road, and reinflate to 30 front and 33 rear for asphalt. For long runs on asphalt I run 32 front and 35 rear, to prevent excessive tyre wear. These are close to the recommended pressures for my bike (new Honda Transalp - F 33 and R 36 recommended) but I have developed my preferred pressures on my old '95 Cagiva Elefant 750, and use similar pressures on the Honda, in spite of it being quite a bit heavier than the Elefant. (Yes, I know that sounds a bit wrong - heavier than an elephant)? If you found the low tyre pressures more comfortable, perhaps you need to soften your suspension for your use. Less spring preload, or (preferably) softer springs, rather than such low pressures. You will probably achieve far greater mileage if you alter your pressures as I have suggested. I say this after 61 years of riding, on all surfaces, and almost 50 years of Ducati devotion. Nice bike, by the way...
Good objective video - thank you!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Does this smaller sprocket make the speedometer read incorrectly?
Speedo reading is on front wheel!
No slots for chest protectors in the Knox sir ?? Great Review Of the Jacket 🙌🙌
No slots as such but a Chest Protector can be added. The jacket has a Velcro patch where the specific Knox chest protector fits?
typically, the chest protections are never included because designated for adventure riders. If you are going to stay on the asphalt, they are usually not useful.
is the boat free from the hotel until the city ?
Yes, the boat is free if you booked a stay!
Hi, did you get the throttle spacers to take out the play? I'm thinking of getting them for my MS 950. Great video as always!
Thank you! Thill now not, but I guess it would be worth considering, also on my bike!
Can i buy your heated grips now you live in dubai :-)
Well, believe it or not, now during the "Winter" month here in middle east it can get quit chilly in the early mornings. I had last week only 12 degrees Celsius out on the road and they came quite handy.... Ok, it was 5 am!
Schicke neue Jacke. Da könnten wir im Partnerlook inkl. Mopeds fahren! 😉
Danke! Sehr gerne wenn Du Mal in der Gegend bist! War ein frühes Weihnachtsgeschenk! Eine der besten Jacken die ich bis jetzt hatte!
Just for information, the real problem with the multi (and this is true for many ducatis, I have had several) the fuel map is badly compromised in the low rev / low throttle range. I do not have specific information on this, but my theory is that this is in order to meet EU emission regulations. I have spent a lot of time improving the fuel map on my '13 multi (1200) and it is now an absolute darling all the way down to 1700 rpm - so I can do 30 kph in 3rd gear, and 60 kph in 6th gear, absolutely smooth, and smooth roll-on from there and up. This was not easy to achieve, I have spent many, many hours finding solutions for a range of fuel problems, but it was definitely worth it. The bike is an absolute pleasure to drive, and has awesome torque from low rpm - much more than my 1260 multi. As the '13 multi uses a different ECU, I can't apply the same solution to my 1260 multi, so that one is still an absolute bitch below 2500 rpm and not great below 3000 rpm. Perhaps I will work up the courage to try to find solutions for the Bosch ECU, I haven't quite decided yet.
Or you just try a smaller front sprocket, if you are willing to spare a view km/h of top speed. One tooth down did make the trick on the 950, might work on the 1260 too...
@@spokewanderer It is definitely something to think about. Although I am thrilled about the results on the '13, I don't know if I am prepared to put in that much effort again for the 1260
Thanks for the look and the breakdown. I only hope my mechanic will be as good as yours obviously was.
Thank's for your comment! If he is a passionate Ducati mechanic should be ok!
Trying to be as open minded as possible, it’s impossible to get excited about 150 less horsepower and 150 more pounds. Those kind of numbers mean it simply is not ready for the premier series of road racing, I’m sorry.
Well, we should remember this is just the beginning! Look back where motorcycles started and what we ride today! Just saying...
I hear you, it’s very new technology and it will absolutely improve, I just hadn’t realized the numbers were so far off, especially the weight. I am actually very excited about electric motocross bikes like the Stark Varg, it’s not very far off from the top bikes at all. And axial flux motors in something like a trials machine could be a total game changer. But the Moto-E numbers are pretty dismal, for now…
@@CBCycles Agree! The Stark Varg I have seen at our Ducati dealer! Heard it's mega fun! And Moto-E will improve and maybe bring something useful out for the future. And hopefully affordable....
I've had mine for a week and did my first ride of about 160Km's. When I got home I found the screw that hold the pucks onto the racks, about 20% of them were loose after just one ride. I tightened them all up again. Hopefully this will not require to be tightened after every ride. Apart from that, they are great panniers and well built. Looking forward to years of great use. I bought two long neck pad locks to lock the paniers to my bike. Great vid BTW.
Add blue Loctite 243 to the screws of the pucks and there will be no more issues. And Mosko Moto recommends threadlocker for this screws.
@@spokewanderer For some reason I thought one could not use Loctite on the pucks but I will certainly give it a try. Thanks.
Good to know. This bike is very desirable to me. Always on my radar!
Yes indeed very reliable if you treat her right!
Hello Nicola. Thanks for the informative video. Can you please share the brand of the crash bar that protects the frame/fairing and engine guard?
Hey! This are the original Crash Bars that come with the Enduro Pack. By the way, later on today there will be an Updated Video on my channel on accessories and gadgets.
Hi, what is the manufacturer and part number of your new front sprocket? Thanks
Both sprocket are from JP Sprockets. Just check with your dealer or their website on the specific model.
❤❤❤
Better behave on the road...😂😂😂
Most of the time! 😅
❤❤❤ love from India
hey if only do 14 on the front and leave the rear stock at 40 what will be the difference thanks
14 in front and 40 in the back?! Not sure exactly. Check this website, there you can simulate different setups - also all kind of Brands and Models. www.gearingcommander.com/
Hi Nicola Great review, I’m looking to purchase a V2S . I’m considering the accessories I want This video helps Regards Gary (Australia)
Hi Gary! Thank You! Currently I am working on a updated version (2 years after). Will be out by next week. Safe rides!
@@spokewanderer look forward to your next review, I’m picking up my new multistrada v2s on Saturday
What is the price approx per night?
