Hi guys Am i alone or has anyone had a Ducati Oil filter failure on the road? Luckily I was on the way to my dealer anyway, and noticed what was going on, if not I could have been thrown off my Hyper 796... By the time I got there the rear tyre/wheel was covered in oil.. One lucky, or perhaps not so lucky boy... Noods
I replaced one of mine in the hot summer......did it correctly (been fitting filters for years).......leaked like a sieve a fw months later in the very cold winter....2010, I think. It had just gone slack, I assume because it was so cold and everything shrunk. That's why I only use K & N ones now, so I can wire them up tidily........not like the unsightly effing great jubilee clip method. AL
It was punctured, yes, but not at the front where a stone could have got to it but on the rear side, just looked like fatigued metal which had split open, only done 2000 miles.. Gen Ducati part.
