Title: Is it necessary to bleed the rear brake to install new rear sets? S2r1000 Post by: Jruwducati on December 06, 2018, 11:15:03 AM Just scooped a set of CNC rear sets from design corse Black Friday sale a couple weeks ago. What is the difficulty of installing these? Is bleeding the rear brake necessary? Thanks in advance.

Take your time, take photos or make sketches - saves time and head scratching later on [thumbsup] Title: Re: Is it necessary to bleed the rear brake to install new rear sets? Post by: Jruwducati on December 06, 2018, 12:31:57 PM Forgot to mention it was an S2R 1000

Common for rearsets to get installed with the brake dragging and then it goes bad from there. Title: Re: Is it necessary to bleed the rear brake to install new rear sets? S2r1000 Post by: S21FOLGORE on December 06, 2018, 01:17:15 PM Before you start ripping the stock parts apart,
check your newly acqired rearset kit Under the big head bolt (red circled), there should be some sort of spacer / bushing / bearing. (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4813/32335911538_965b5ac28c_o.jpg) If there is, good. If there isn't, DON'T INSTALL that kit. Contact the seller and ask for refund. In case you need some visual references, take a look at the Ducati’s official parts book. http://www.ducati-motorcycle-parts-online.com/media/downloads/2005/Monster/MS4R_Eu_2005.pdf Go to the page 134, and look at the diagram. Then, take a look at Rizoma rear set kit diagram. (example of properly designed kit) http://www.mikemo.org/bikes/manuals/PE202.pdf And then, take a look at Gilles Manual, (example of improper design you should avoid) http://www.gillestooling.de/uploads/manual/VCR_D02_manual.pdf In any case, read these thread before installing the rear set on your S2R. http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=73357.0 http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=31180.0 Title: Re: Is it necessary to bleed the rear brake to install new rear sets?

Thank you for the links.

So, I assume these CNC / Design Corse kit has the same design as the Ducati original parts. One more bit of advise. (These rearsets look like they are adjustable only in height, so this may not be a problem for you, but anyway...) After adjusting the foot peg position, if you find the shift linkage rod is not long enough, don't ride the bike like this. (https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1932/45021499744_66446cfa84_b.jpg) Get a little bit longer rod. Sato racing sells them. Stradafab sells them, too. (And he'll make any length custom made.) Sato racing also sells shift arm. The angle between the shift arm and linkage rod should be 90°, also the angle between the rod and the arm of the shift pedal should be 90°.
