Just got crash bars, engine guard plate, and the water pump protector. No install instructions. Anyone have them? Thanks to @Mastree for the Crash Bars manual in the other thread. Will call dealer tomorrow but REALLY wanted to do it today...

EDIT: found the Engine Guard Plate and Crash Bar install instructions on the Ducati site - I don't remember seeing them there when I looked a couple of days ago. BUT the Water Pump Protector does NOT have instructions available -- which is probably what I looked for first, saw that they didn't have the instructions available, and assumed the same for any accessories. Needless to say, I should be able to figure the Water Pump Protector out. Alas, still not doing today because I have Fog Lights coming this week (I hope) and those instructions require taking off the crash bars and many of the same components as before. Sigh...

Thank you!

I got word that October 18 the off-road package will begin to ship from Italy...I placed my order in May too!

I installed my crash bars a couple weeks ago. Just got the water pump guard today. No instructions. I think I see what I need to do. It looks like I would need to take the Engine Guard off to access the screw on the bottom.

It's pretty straightforward how it connects to the crash bars and that black piece just presses into the guard to keep it off the water pump. For the screw at the bottom, I'm assuming that I remove the stock screw, put the spacer against the bike, then the protector, then the screw through that. But verifying this all would be helpful.
Also, torque specs. I'm going to call the dealer in the morning that I bought it from (ams Ducati) to see if they can email me the instructions. I couldn't find them on Ducati's website. But I figured I'd ask here in the meantime.

I haven't gotten the aftermarket engine guard yet. Is that much better than the stock one?

For the water pump protector you will need to remove the bolt going into the lower case that has the threaded spacer head. Then the new spacer goes behind the guard bracket, and the bolt threads through the cable bracket, guard, and spacer. According to the local Ducati dealer the torque for the replacement bolt is 8nm.

I'm reading the installation guide for the skid plate and had a question to anyone that has installed the skid plate. Do you have to remove the quick shifter and side stand sensor?

You just detach the wiring from the old bracket (highlighted in dark gray) and then attach them to the new one with the stuff provided in the kit. If you're actually detaching any wiring from the bike you're doing it wrong.

So, the picture of Box X and Y is what exactly?

The way I read it, how far along the wiring each zip tie attached to the A & B connectors should be fastened to leave the correct amount of slack and not over tighten the wires.

Decided to have the dealer do it all when I added the new “respirator” sans cat. Man did that thing wake it up (and I already thought it was plenty “awake”). Ready for some gnar…
Added:
Crash bars
Off road skid plate
Water pump protection
Termignoni full exhaust and new mapping
Fog/driving lights
Waiting on center stand and heated grips

 

[DESERTXATL]

Where does that long screw go?

I just want to say thank you for sharing this information. I was having a hell of a time figuring out where the bolts go and how they attach to everything.

See my separate post if you’re planning on installing the Off Road pac (or skid plate, or fog lights) yourself…

HI just to dropp one info here. One fellow from UK (as i understood) spotted the reason of vibration after crash bars instalation.Looks like reason is connected with waterpump crashbar instalation .. the rubber which is installed together with crash bar cannot touch the pump cover.. needs to have respective space .. resettle and tightening the bolts with attention to that gap is enough,

Interesting. I finished my install and did my first ride this weekend. the vibration was significantly noticeable. the rubber is touching the water pump cover. I'll look at adjusting it and seeing if that helps. Thanks

Looking at the pictures posted above, the bolt at the bottom appears to be mounted in the following order: spacer, wire bracket, then water pump guard. When I did my install I did: spacer, water pump guard, then wire bracket. The extra couple mm of the thickness of the wire bracket should be enough to push the rubber off the water pump. I'll fix it later in the week and report back.

Try that report from other user were enriched with video and he was really confident about that space as a permanent solution to vibration
Also from logics ,contact with shaking engine has to transfer vibration to chassis and hands

Still working on getting the water pump guard off the water pump to fix my vibration issue. However, wanted to add a tip for the engine guard plate install. The instructions call for blue loctite for 2 of the screws (black ones), not all 6. The 4 stainless screws do not call for loctite. Found that out the hard way and just stripped those out trying to adjust my water pump guard

For what it’s worth, attached a pic of the spacing on mine. Can’t comment on it however as the dealer did it. No vibes. Yes, the two “teeth” at the end are touching the water pump

No way Ducati designed it like that, obviouly. So, dealer probably needs to readjust. I installed mine and have space between rubber and pump.

You might not feel it in the handle bars, but what about touching the crash bars going ~65mph? I have vibration on the handle bars, but when I touch the crash bars at speed it's very bad. You have 2 "teeth" touching, but it doesnt look like there is a lot of pressure. I have 3 "teeth" and there is decent pressure. My bike is in the shop for unrelated warranty repair, so I've not had a chance to fix it.
