Just replaced my oil and filter last Sat.
There is a magnet on the sump plug that catches bits of crap, clean that and the fine mesh pick up filter may need cleaning.
I used the screwdriver & hammer method, the filter gets sucked on and the rubber expands which can make it a little resistant but don't worry them Ducati filters are well made.
I couldn't get all the oil out though, apparently they take 3.7 ltrs. Well at least a litre was hiding somewhere in my 748 Bip. What didn't I do, I read that the front pot rocker cover needs to come off also (after I had done the change) is this right?
