Did an oil change back in April, started riding it right after that. Done some more or less full throttle pushes up to 110mph or so but not always.
The bike has done roughly 1500km (metric) since the oilchange.

I just now noticed that the level of oil was a bit over the max fill level (3-4mm) and I drained roughly 70-90ml out. It sits better now, under the max flow level when the engine is hot but of.

At one point i think the oil radiator hoes leaked a few drops, nothing in the airfilter and the bike feels ok.

Could this have affected the engine or somehow worsend something?

Also, is having brownish bubbles a normal thing after a hot ride? They go away 1-2 minutes after stopping the engine.

Im below average mechanic when it comes to bikes thats why I am asking..
Thx.

Hi!

2004 Ducati Monster 1000 dark in the garage.

Straight to the point.

Changed my front tire, put everything back in the order it should be. Last thing was to tourqe spec the pinch bolts.

One of then snapped. Took out the other one too because it was most likely as tight as the other one bc I did the 1-2-1 method.

It was.

Paniced, went to but a screw removal kit, drilled it and took it out in its own threads.

Checked the thread, looked OK. Tiny tiny debries from the snapped one. Nothing else.

Bought bolts that where the same diameter (steel) and replaced them. They went in without a hustle, so I think the threads are OK.

Tourqed them to spec 20NM using the 1-2-1 method.

This was on the left side. On the right side, the original bolts are still OK, never snapped or overtourqed.

My question is, can I drive it like this? I am super nervouse bc this is my first bike and I wanted to rake care of it😅

Ofc I will order new oem bolts that are made for the bike.

Caliper tq: 46NM

Axel nut tq: 64NM

Pinch bolts tq: 20NM

Minor issues
