hi all Haven’t started my 916sp for two years did have new oil and fuel filter 2 years ago I know belts will need doing but what about oil and fuel filter . Also should I get all 4 injectors cleaned properly did move real wheel round in gear about every 4 months too move belts as they were only 2 years old as well All feedback greatly appreciated
Not saying it’s good advice. But I’d just check the oil and start it. If I know how its stored and happy with when the belts were last done. But then my tools of choice are hammer and tape
I’d just start it...after charging the battery. Left my 916SPS for over a year and didn’t do anything apart from charging the battery and it was fine.
May be take the belt covers off, see if you can turn by hand and make sure the belts don’t look misshapen?
Oil doesn't "go off" but degrades with use. Total miles travelled is important not time. I'd be happy to run the belts for a bit longer provided they are kevlar.
I'd be happy checking the belts and starting it up myself but If its going back on the road, then just replace the belts for peace of mind and then start her up, give the rest of the bike a good check over and away you go. Steve
I'd change the oil, brake fluid and fuel. I'd be surprised if the injectors needed anything doing. Just had my 1098R in for a service after exactly 2 years. It's done 5 miles in that time (used other bikes) and had the belts done at the last service. I had the oil changed and that's it. I told them to leave the belts.
Kevlar belts? They would snap in our application besides, no one makes them for Ducati's (thankfully)
Fuel filter replacement is a bit of a palaver. Schedule is every 3000 miles. If you decide to do it, you may as well replace the in-tank fuel lines and main flange o-ring while you're at it.
get yourself booked on the hydraulics course at National Fluid Centre, Worksop...trust me, changing the oil would be your first port if call
