Title: Drain Plug Size - S4RS
Post by: toudg on March 19, 2010, 12:00:06 PM

Hi guys,
I wanna change the drain plug on my S4Rs. The manual shop says Oil drain plug M22x1.5 but when I consult monsterpart.com or other sites, it states that the plug wont fit a Testa engine. Sato makes nice plugs.

Which one do I need ? Can I find a better deal here ?

What gasket do I need ?

Thanks for your time guys. Reminder : this is for a S4Rs.

Yes. I think it's the right one. Look at the description :

THE DRAIN PLUG IS FOR DUCATI MODELS THAT HAVE A DEEP SUMP (late 999, R models, 1098). If you are not sure do not hesitate to ask.

Which is the case for a S4Rs (deep sum).

I just don't understand why the manual shop refers to M22-1.5 since it seems to be M12-1.5.

Must be a misprint....

or no one told the technical writer it was a different plug.
