The silver item in the motowheels link is a filter wrench. It doesn't stay on the filter. What difference does the color make?

[MsTek]

I like black.

[ducpainter]

I like black.

Spend more money, and have it re-anodized.

Wait...aren't you the one who is perpetually broke?





I'm done here.

Here's a black one    Fits all filter brands and works equally well both off and on.

Is there confusion between an oil filler cap and an oil filter wrench?
DP's point about budget is valid.

[S21FOLGORE]

This is the oil filter wrench. Not the filter cap. (ANd there's no "filter cap"  for this bike.)You already bought the filter wrench, so no need to buy this.

Oil
10W-40 (Don't worry about what kind of oil to get. That's Motul 300V in the linked page, and that's good )

Filter
Ducati OEM (You have the filter wrench, no need to buy the one with the nut on top)

And say "No Thanks" to CD Billet oil filter wrench.

Done.

A new problem:

I went to an appointment on Thursday... probably about 8 miles round trip.  On my way down, I saw the speedometer bouncing.  It was giving readings all over the place.  Everything else about the bike seemed fine besides the foot shifter always being hard.

Was a stoplight about a mile from home, thinking about you guys and what I was going to post.  Bike cut out DEAD.   People honking and mad as I tell them to go around me s I can go the side of the road (BITE ME!).  Bike won't turn over.  I take the seat off to check the connections to the fuel pump.  No beuno.  Some guy who came over to pretend he could help (who had no clue about anything really.)  As he is talking to me, I try the bike again. It comes on.  YAY!  I make it home, praying no more cut out.

Now she sits in the garage.  I'm mad at her.  Not sure what to do.

[ducpainter]

Could be a couple of things.

Bad fuel pump relay, bad connection at the starter relay, or a bad main relay.

The speedo issue is not part of the starting problem, but coincidental,IMO.

Will it start again now?

[MsTek]

It should.  Its cold and raining today so I won't go out.

Are we where it needs to go to the shop?

I just replaced the fuel pump stuff.

[ducpainter]

Well, it's hard to diagnose an intermittent electrical problem, whether it DYI, or a pro.

It needs to mess up again to be able to conclusively determine what's wrong.

Initially, you could check the connections on the relays in the fuse panel.

Do you have a wiring diagram?

[MsTek]

I do not.  Would be helpful since I want to replace the turn signal indicators since one is ripped and dangling.

[stopintime]

I can't remember... do you have a trustworthy shop nearby? If not, go online and find a relaxed DIY'er.

They should be able to check, clean and lubricate the 10, or so, most suspicious connections in an hour. For both the stop and the not-start.

[MsTek]

I don't.  That's how this started- the shop wanted $1500 to fix the fuel pump.
