Enjoy the most beautiful sweeping curves and fall scenery in this ride to Bald Peak State Park Viewpoint in Oregon. This road was always the one with potential but some sections had really hazardous pavement with potholes and cracks in all the wrong places. Over the last year several sections have been replaced turning this into a hidden gem in the foothills outside of Portland. *We aren’t crus...

Correcting a HUGE design flaw on the Ducati Desert Sled: Hydraulic rear brake switch mod

Welcome back to the only channel that will never ask for likes or subscribe’s. I’m not here to monetize, I’m just here to put out useful content that will hopefully help my fellow DIY’ers. 2019 Desert Sled’s got a new rear brake switch sensor that easily breaks away from the mounting tabs, leaving your brake light always on. In this video, I replaced this horrible design with a $20 banjo switch...
Installing an Amazon Skid Plate on the Yamaha TW200. The quality is surprising!
zhlédnutí 2KPřed rokem
We wanted better protection for the TW200, but heard a lot of horror stories about the Ricochet skid plate being super loud, and not allowing airflow which can lead to overheating. We went with an Amazon knock off brand, Xitomer, because it has the same general shape and coverage as the Ricochet skid plate, but it has airflow holes cut into the plate which we hope will offer better airflow and ...

Nice! Stock tires?
Go Sled!
Hi i watched your video and i ordered same skid plate from acdracingusa and i used your code. It’s been almost a month but they still didn’t send the product or send me any email. And i wonder how long did you take till you get the skid plate from acdracingusa? From South korea
I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t work for the company so I can’t speak to their delivery timeframes, but I imagine it takes awhile to ship to South Korea. I would contact their customer support to see if they have an update for you. I’m sorry you have been waiting, but I can tell you the skid plate is worth the wait. You will love it.
How do you compare noise and heat vs stock ?? Im looking at the same one because it has the holes and i like the black color
Great question, I would say that the volume ranges anywhere from “not noticeably louder” to 10% louder, give or take. Really not bad. The heat is no different in my experience. It can still be hot and radiate heat, but it did that with the stock skid plate too. The airflow through the skid plate holes really must help with wicking the heat away underneath so it isn’t trapped with nowhere else to go but up. After many scrapes and bumps, and an easy removal for an oil change since I installed it, it’s been 10/10 - would recommend.
Lol, as if. That said, Dukes are cool.
Hey thanks for watching, and I agree that Duc’s are very cool! But quick question - ‘As if’ what?
Whats the bolt size thread pitch for the new hydraulic switch?
Pretty sure it’s actually a clone of the Bradley performance standard duty skid plate
Nice work! Way more functional. Looks great apart from the exhaust 😂
Graet work, bought one after seeing this but take note - This doesn't fit the 2019 Sled. The fixing points / angles are significantly further apart.
Mine has the same attachment points/angles as the 2019. If you watch the video at the 4:07 mark, you can see I have the bolts on the left side, and I put my foot on the frame while pulling the rack to spread it wider and use my other free hand to get the bolt in place and started. I can’t promise that all of them are the exact same measurements, but I promise mine didn’t look like it was going to fit either.
@@ADHDiy_Guy Thanks for the reply, I may have a different rack manufacturer here in England, Foot on the frame was never gonna work for this model So I put a car Jack inside it to spread the bars out. 👍🏼 Thanks for the post, I would have given up!
Great Video. Thanks for the effort. Couleur you provide a link to the hydraulisch switch you used?
Does anyone know if the black Fasthouse front/rear fenders fit the 2019 sled? (I hate the white ones) they look the same on the Ducati parts page.. just wanna check as they charge a 40% restock fee...!
There should be no reason I can see for them to be different. I have not compared them side by side, but it should be the same. I feel like a cheaper option would be to have the front fender wrapped with a black vinyl wrap instead of buying one direct from Ducati though. Good luck!
thanks for the reply, here in England it was cheaper to buy them from Ducati than get them wrapped actually! Btw They do fit! So I’m working my way through your other mods now👍🏼
Why can I not find the right one so far ordered 2 new ones that didn't fit
I’m really sorry to hear the parts you ordered haven’t fit. What year is your bike?
I ended up using a KTM pressure switch. It was for all models.
Great video. Will be doing this mod this weekend. Once question - once you removed the old switch, did you fashion some sort of stop for the brake lever?
Yes I did, and I even included it in the video! If you watch from the beginning of minute 8 of the video, I show the new “stop” I fashioned. Pretty simple, no fancy fabrication needed.
yeah not sure why I missed that - probably skipping around a bunch. Really great video. Thank you again!
Maddively appreciate the effort and the thorough explanation here. Super helpful and saved me just replacing the OEM switch through ignorance.
I had the OEM grip warmers installed by Ducati shortly after purchasing my 2018 Desert Sled. Used them for my winter rides to work. After talking to other riders with other brands of heated grips, I have concluded the OEM Ducati heated grips don't put out the heat like other brands. In fact, my hands are still cold during winter rides. Almost a waste for me to have the Ducati OEM heated grips installed. Wish I would've went with another brand.
Link?
Let’s see if this link actually posts. a.co/d/eoWZohs I was going to say that CZcams doesn’t let you post links as a content creator until you reach at least 100 subscribers, but then I saw I am at 101! So we should be all good.
I have the same bike and wanted to put heated grips. I knew that Ducati was going to charge me so I decided to just have them do my oil change and when they tried to charge me the 75 to $80 activation fee I explained that they're basically charging me $75 to $80 to click one button (enable) due to the fact that they were already connecting my ECU to their computer as part of their normal service protocol for simple oil changes. They didn't charge me. 75 to $80 for the heated grip activation is ridiculous as they literally are clicking one button. This should be activated from the factory anyway! On another note I bought those same foot pegs (JRG) and I can't understand how you got those to fit. The mounting flange that sticks out lines up with the mounting flanges that the stock foot Pegs sit in. Mine is a 2018 so I'm not sure if there's a slight different in the width of the foot Peg mounting flange.
I should have fought for it a bit more, as I also did had mine activated with a regular service/oil change. I hope folks that are thinking of doing this mod see your comment so they can make the same argument. As far as the footpegs, I hope I didn’t mislead you to buy them with my video! I got them for our TW200 but my wife didn’t like them. I had to take my cutoff wheel and grind them down on each side, as well as flatten the angled end a little in order for them to fit the Ducati. I probably weakened them but so far they have held up - I bring my oem pegs with me in my bag any time I go off road just in case.
@@ADHDiy_Guy No you're good on the foot pegs! I see how you modded them but the ones they sent me simply wouldn't. I know how to weld and modded the rear brake pedal so i'll probably just do the same to the stock pegs.
Excellent, you answeres my question if I can connect aftermarket heating grips and controll them with the handlebar button. I have the new Ducati heated grips now, but they have a very slow acceleration, I searched the old version like you but cant find them.
And since you already have the heated grips activated on your bike, you won’t have to pay the $80 activation fee again! Good luck.
thank you for the video, you should consider a throttle lock and show us how you did it.
Hahaha, I have thought about it but honestly I really don’t do much highway riding where I am sitting at a consistent speed for a period of time. If a throttle lock company wants to sponsor me by sending me product to try I would be happy to!
Very good upgrade and video. I’m sure it will come in handy at some point on my Sled.
I want to do the rear Fender that you did! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful bike I have a night shift , not sure how I feel about cheap and home made mods that you made to a very amazing Italian machine but looks great !!
Don't you drop that Fasthouse edition ever again! That bike's a work of art!
That’s why I have spent money on protection mods! So it can stay a work of art. No paint or body work was damaged in the making of this video, don’t worry!
Had this happen to me too. TNX for the solution
Upsetting Ducati cancelled this model more likely to promote the other desertX . I love this bike. Great job on the mods.
Love the video and thanks to you, I'm going to fix my brake switch this winter. I just got back from a 2870 mile trip on my '21 Sled, I could have used that seat cover for sure! Haha.
Nice one ☝️
hey dude awesome vid! with this vid being few months old, have u had a chance to put this skidplate through the ringer? if so, how tough is it and how much of a beating can it take in ur opinion?
Thanks! I wouldn’t say we have put it through the “ringer” since we aren’t great at riding off road yet but we have taken it off road a handful of times since the skidplate has been installed and it has handled some tree roots and rocks getting kicked up no problem. The TW has even run into a tree during a hill climb and gotten stuck on the skidplate edge, and I don’t think it has shown any weakness yet. It is a beefy plate, in my opinion it holds its own against any of the other well known brands.
thanks a lot for the info! very helpful@@ADHDiy_Guy
My wife is trying out our TW and I’m shopping for a Desert Sled. That’s how I found your channel. Is the DS as much work to ride off-road as it looks on video?
If you make any videos, I will watch them!
Thanks a lot for this one!
was that footpeg loose like it was moving around a bit? if so, how did you tighten it?
That’s definitely me my girlfriend would be mad at me if I bought because I was Ben like $10,000 of upgrades on a dirtbike probably
Nice breakdown and fun to see a fasthouse on dirt!
No thanks.. actually don't make very good sense.
What doesn’t make very much sense? Installing a skid plate? My voice? My instructions? How could it be better?
Nice
Use trail braking
I didnt even notice this was a smaller channel, though it had 100k subs. Keep up the good work
Hey thank you, that’s a big compliment! I’m just trying to make real content that actually helps people with their projects (or that are fun for me) and not pander to the algorithms. Any feedback or advice for this novice video maker would be greatly appreciated.
love it not a sellout to the algo! (TOP 10 MODS DUCATI DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DO!!!!!!!) lol@@ADHDiy_Guy
Nice detailed video. Thanks for the time and effort on sharing
do these connectors exist for 2015 icon?
I believe so, but an easy way to check is to take off the cover on the right side underneath the gas tank and the wires should run right under the cover. They will have the “heated grips” stickers right on the wires. If you see that, you should be golden!
The the Desert Sled, have a 2021. Hey what kind of skid plate is that on the bike? Thanks!
I love pasta and pasta sauce and this looks so good! Great job
Thanks for your support!
Hey! Keep making good products and I will gladly promote them! Could I interest you in a sponsorship agreement? I will gladly install and review any parts you want to send my way!
@@ADHDiy_Guy Thank you very much for your reply. I found that you have two motorcycles? Could you tell me the year of them? I would like to make a record. We will develop relevant models of accessories in the future, please help us review them.
My Ducati Scrambler Desert is 2022, and the Yamaha tw200 is also 2022, but that should be pretty much the same since 2001.
@@ADHDiy_Guy Okay, thankyou very much.
Nice video I’m getting ready to order a skid plate for my tw did you notice any sound deflection with this one
Not noticeably at all, I was expecting it to be at least a little bit louder and was just hoping for “quieter than the ricochet plate” and honestly it is probably the same as stock because the sound has somewhere to escape to. If it is louder, you would need another tw200 right next to it for comparison in order to even notice.
@@ADHDiy_Guy just ordered one thanks your video sold me
You won’t regret it! Let me know how you like it once you get it installed!
Was going to ask about the noise as well. Thanks!
Great bike combo!
@@ADHDiy_Guy The desert sled look like such a fun bike to me. I already know the tdubs is fun
Hi do you have the link for this part?
Let’s see if CZcams lets me comment a link, here is the Amazon posting for the one I bought but there are a bunch of sellers with the same one. Motorcycle Luggage Rack a.co/d/iBoeRRA
dang it, it’s. no longer 18 bucks. i would’ve messed with it for that price. oh well
@@spoonf20c I agree that the $18 price point made it a no brainer, but now that I have tested it under load, I would pay $75 for it.
That looked like a blast. Hope you both had fun.
It was a great time, the video can only do it so much justice.
Good job! I’m looking for Oem warmers for my DS and had no idea the additional cost to get them activated after installation.
Not me seen your video to late ordered ducati ones already 😭
Primus bike 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘
Agreed, of all the bikes I have owned, the Desert Sled is by far my favorite. And your videos are great, by the way! I had already subscribed to your page when I clicked on your name! I have loved your videos featuring the Scrambler adventures. Keep it up!
