4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Evolved from the Multistrada 950 S in 2022 with lighter con-rods, 8-disc hydraulic clutch, and 5 kg weight reduction before the 2025 890 IVT engine.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Loaded highway touring demands full-synthetic SAE 15W-50 JASO MA2 (3.6 L with HF159 paper element) changed every 15,000 km or 12 months.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Air filter access requires stripping both side fairings and lifting the 20 L fuel tank—bundle filter replacement with the 30,000 km Desmo check.
- Unclip the Skyhook DSS semi-active fork cap connectors straight up before loosening triple-clamp bolts to avoid snapping internal sensor pins.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What oil volume, JASO grade, and oil filter code does the Ducati Multistrada V2 / V2 S (937) (2022–2024) require?
Because its wet multi-plate clutch shares engine oil with the gearbox, run SAE 15W-50 (JASO MA2) at 3.2 L (3.38 US qt) drain-only and 3.6 L (3.80 US qt) with filter (44440291C / HF159).
How do you accurately check the oil level on the Multistrada V2 / V2 S (937), and what are its service intervals?
Hold the motorcycle dead-vertical on level ground 2–3 minutes after warm shutdown and verify the oil sits mid-way between the Upper and Lower marks in the crankcase sight glass—never on the sidestand. Torque the drain plug to 20 N·m with a new crush washer. Factory oil change intervals are every 15,000 km, with valve clearance inspection every 30,000 km.
What are the cold tire pressures, puncture repair type, seat height, and range of the Multistrada V2 / V2 S (937)?
Fitted with 120/70 ZR19 M/C 60W front and 170/60 ZR17 M/C 72W rear tubeless rims (compatible with roadside plug kits), set cold tire pressures to 36 / 36 PSI (250/250 kPa) solo or 36 / 42 PSI loaded. Seat height is 830 mm (32.7 in) at 222 kg wet weight, delivering ~364 km per 20 L tank.
