Hi Guys,

My local Ducati dealer doesn't have the capability to check any of the older part numbers, so I'm trying to find if there are equivalent parts in the current catalog. Could ayone tell me if there are 'modern' equivalents for the following parts:

Sump plug gasket 22032083A
Filter screen gasket 22032055A
Oil inspection cap 066049183

I suspect the seal in the oil inspection glass is leaking so I would like to replace it. The part list seems to list the cap and the seal as one part number. Does the seal come as a separate part?

Thanks,

Mike

22032055A is now 78710091A and used ie on the 916.
22032083A is also used for SS, ST, Monster, Hypermotard, 748 - 999 etc.

The oil level sight glass has been discontinued for at least two years. There have been many threads discussing this item and so far, the only new alternative is a billet one offered by a company that I want to say is in Germany and also advertises on eBay on occasion. I replaced mine with a used one from a 650 Pantah engine that a guy was parting out on eBay.

I'm always amazed how much knowledge floats around in this forum, fantastic! With these new part numbers I should be able to get the gaskets sorted.

Desmo: I had a read of the threads on the oil glass and I understand that I need to look for used parts or check out the German seller on Ebay. However, can you tell me if the glass consists of a screwcap and a seal, or is it a different construction? If it is the former, I'm wondering what the risk is with buying a used one. I'm a bit hesitant to take the oil glass off the bike before I've got replacement parts, so I'm trying to figure out what it looks like before unscrewing anything.

Thanks again,

Mike

The seal is just an rubber washer that seals the sight glass flange to the engine cover. If yours is leaking on the outer perimeter of the sight glass, it may only be the seal. If it is leaking around the edge of the sight glass and the plastic housing, it is an internal seal that is not replaceable, as the plastic is melted around the glass part to hold it in place (the sight glass is actually clear plastic and is prone to cracking - like mine was). To remove the sight glass from the engine cover, simply turn it counter-clockwise (lefty loosey) as it is a standard thread.
