Can’t thank you enough for the tutorial brother, it was very accurate. Took me about 30 to take it out and around 45-1hr to reinstall. The hardest part was indeed reconnecting the positive terminal. Cheers.

I didnt even know where exacty the batterie is! And was affraid to exchange myself the old one against a new. Allthough I changed a lot of Batteries in a lot of bikes. But : After having seen this video I did it! I thank you so much to show how it works!

Thanks! I've never needed help to remove a battery but Ducati makes it interesting

Replacing my battery next weekend and will be using your video as a tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to record this.

Thank you so much for the understandable clip! Except of the unclear manual and one Italian clip op YT, there is no explanation for this and what tools you need. Grtz from another Monster1200-rider!

So, here I am. 6yrs later due to a “finally” failed OEM battery. And see my old comment 😀. Thanks again

Your instructions are a heck of a lot easier to understand, than the user manual. Thanks! But, it looks like it doesn't fully apply to the 1200R. Getting to the initial side cover to disco the negative lead doesn't appear to be the same arrangement. So, I guess I'll read the manual and supplement with your video, and get this figured out. :-)

Much better instructions than the owners manual. But I thought the ground wire was the hardest part. The bolt is back in there and hard to get at, and hard to get started to re install it. Positive was easy, I did a lead acid battery so just re used the stock weird bolt.

Skyrich battery for this bike is 2.2 lbs/997 gr, the OEM weight 4.1 kg

U should have drop the link to buy this battery. Just a suggestion 😋

So to jump start the battery I would need to take off those panels to get to the negative bolt. My battery aint dead, but you never know when it will happen

What do you mean "don't forget hookup to hook up the power for your ABS pump as well"? When did you disconnect it in your video?

"Replacing your OEM heavy lead acid battery is ridiculous on a Ducati Monster 1200 or 821." There, I fixed it for you. This is my 7th bike, I have never needed help removing a battery before. This makes me want to buy a tender. Also, is removing the ground wire necessary? Again, after 6 previous bikes, I've never even seen a ground wire on a bike before. Seems like leaving it connected would remove half the steps. Thanks for posting.

Good Stuff. Thanks for posting.

thank you, i love this clip vdo. very much.

Do you use the shorai charger for winter storage? Seems like it'd be a pain since the regular pigtail doesn't work for charging and needs to be connected to the battery body to charge?

Merci for your video who was very helpful for put my Skyrich on my 821. Altrought it was a little bit different and much longer for me. ^^

Nice tutorial. Will there be sparks when reconnect back the 2 ground wires? 😰

Thanks for the video. I like how you just skip right over what a nightmare reconnecting the positive terminal is with the small replacement bolt you have to use. There's a reason why the factory one is long. Any tips? Going on hour 2.

Did you say: "Don't forget to cut off the power to the ABS pump before connecting the terminal"?

nice video) tyvm

Great tutorial! Thanks!

wow not like my R1
